Is drowning really that bad? Thinking about strapping weights on and jumping in deep water. I know it's supposed to be awful, but it's also very quick, right? And certain, I'd guess.

I just can't figure how to die. Desperate

It´s 100% awful, but would also work 99% of the time

If unpleasant perceptions are a matter of concern, why not consider sedation? In case of a planned surgical operation in a hospital, you'd probably expect it to be done under some analgesia or anesthesia instead of overthinking about how you'd feel without such means applied, right? Of course, there may be specific conditions like extreme poverty (when someone simply can't afford any aids), but I think that in most cases people just overlook the possibility of sedation prior to drowning while having this option available.

Meds might help with the anxiety about what you're about to do, but to be sedated enough to mask the pain of drowning you'd have to take enough to be near unconscious I'd think. At that point there's no certainty in correctly carrying out the plan. You'd have to be able to walk, think, jump, etc.

you could probably work something out with only falling into the water when close to unconscious

Displacing oxygen from the lungs by inhaling simple asphyxiants produces fainting in a matter of seconds.
There are real cases of drowning under such sedation:
