Getting swept away by the ocean

[kk13]

Is it easy to do? Im not a good swimmer. Im going to the beach in late may with my parents. If i get a chance to go to the beach alone would it be possible? Ill just swim really really far and try to drown myself

I don't know all that much about drowning, but I'd assume it's not easy and is a very agonizing way to die.

this sounds like terrible idea ngl. its also gonna traumtise other people. its not needed imo

it would say bad plan but that my 2 cent of a opinion.

and like always shove it in my own ass

drowning is so painful and some of the most afraid I've ever felt in my life. last time was only maybe 30 seconds at most, but I'd rate that as having been more traumatic than my car accident, my worse physical injury (which required three layers of stitches!!), or the time I was almost carjack/kidnapped. it felt like I was stuck down there for several minutes. I only floated maybe 100 feet down stream in that period of time. when your brain does inevitably panic and you take in that first gasp of water instead of air, it burns. it hurts so bad, like nothing else I've ever felt.

chances are more likely that you'll be resuscitated with some hypoxic brain damage and/or risk someone else's (likely your family member's) life trying to save you. drowning is one of the most sure-fire ways to trigger your primal survival instinct. if you succeed, you'll be in severe pain and potentially a level of fear so deep and instinctive that it's almost animal. I don't mean to sound dramatic, but this is genuinely such a miserable way to die. I would consider it a non-method. Yeah, eventually you'll wear yourself out and no longer be able to hold yourself up above water, but the human body is surprisingly resilient, and you may only succeed in making things much worse for yourself :( There's a reason why most documented drowning suicides are a secondary method of death.

I'm genuinely sorry things are so bad for you that this seems like an appealing way out.
