Method I am at a bridge right now. I need to know how best to avoid the fear.

[Thingsneverchange]

I am at a bridge right now. I've often been. I am always too afraid to jump. How is it best? Look into another direction? Close your eyes? Have your eyes open? Think about something else? Or think about just the thing you're going to do? Have music on or not?

Please help.

What exactly are you afraid of?

Jumping lmao. I don't know i don't feel like it's myself that's a fried of. It's more like my Si that's keeping me from doing it.

I understand it is difficult to ctb as we are programmed to survive. I think in my case, I will eventually reach a point of desperation that I am able to overcome any fears that I have. I think for me, it will be a feeling, deep down when I know it is the right time. I hope you find the peace you are looking for.

It's really difficult. I don't know how to get around it and it's making me crazy.

It's really hard overcoming your SI. I'm sorry you're struggling. Im practically just "chilling" with the noose around my neck. I can't overcome my SI but I feel tranquil that I have a way out of this world.
Maybe you should take a step back, sit and ponder for a while?
I wish you peace

What about jumping? Is it the fall? The pain of landing? The risk of survival? The afterlife? If you can isolate what's stopping you it'll be easier to come up with ways to adress it.

I managed to get up onto the railing of a bridge once but I couldn't go any further.

I think you need to be certain. Every fibre of your being needs to KNOW that you are going to jump. If you have even the slightest doubt in that moment then you won't be able to deny it.

Pushing past your SI is extremely difficult and is something that most people will never be able to do.

Im sorry for what you're going through FWIW.

I guess it's the chance of survival. I don't want to survive and be hospitalized

 

[!WILL!]

I'm not sure if there's anyway to reduce the fear, especially with how strong SI can be. Don't feel like you have to push yourself if you're not ready. It might be that you have to look for a different method or try again a different day. I hope you find peace no matter your decision.

Then you're not confident in your jumping spot. Investigate a better one.

I don't really have a better one. My problem is that every day I have a sudden mood swing and want to jump off. I don't really have that much time to plan this

I have the same issue. Planning on using a combination of substances to get the courage I need.
