I live in an apartment, 5th story. Below my window is only concrete and nothing to stop a fall. Usually, I wouldn't consider jumping from my window, as I've gotten this rule that a building must be at least 8 floors tall, for me to consider ctb'ing there. So I guess you could call this kinda irrational (don't consider this a reason why I shouldn't use this method right now).

I'd obviously(?) try to land head first. Jumping, itself, wouldn't be a problem as I can easily trick my brain into thinking that I'm not falling
(I know this from jumping in the pool from those tall things that I don't know the name of).


Now, my questions are:
-do you think I should do it? If not, what good reasons do you have as to why I shouldn't?
-if I land on my head first will it crack/break?
-is there anything I should keep in mind/remember regarding this method?

Note: I do not care about pain or how gross the aftermath looks like, for now. I am also aware that the chances of death are more likely if I were to jump from a higher building, but I don't really have access to a taller building at this moment.

I think you should do it the only reason some people survive is because they land feet first like if they were to jump in a pool but you seem to know you need to land head first or make sure the head take the impact I shared a video yesterday with a girl who ctb by jumping from 2nd floor so I am certain 5 floors would suffice although I have a rule that if I were to jump it should be from 7th floor.

@TheGoodGuy : You might want to edit and re-word your answer ?
The way you've written your reply, it sounds as though you are encouraging him to CTB.
That's against the culture / ethos of this site.

If you land head first, then your skull will take most of impact, yes. For the other questions, I can't answer, sorry.
What's this trick about making your brain think you don't fall, if you don't mind? :nomouth:

If I were intending to use jumping as a method then I would need a good location, because if I jumped and survived then the outcome could be *very* bad, such as living with very bad disabilities.

If I were considering jumping as a method, then I'd want to :
> find somewhere that's 300 feet ( 25 floors ) or higher. 200 feet ( 17 floors ) would be the minimum.
> be certain I'll fall without interruption or landing on a ledge, etc.
> make sure I hit something hard, and that nothing could break my fall.
> avoid windy days ideally, since that could interfere.
> ensure I don't put anyone else in danger, e.g. pick a time when nobody is in the area.

With any method, you should do as much research as you can (eg try the search and advanced search on this site, and put the time and effort in).
I've heard some people suggest the use of aspirin or warfarin, for blood thinning, so in case you didn't die on impact, then bleeding should complete the process.
If you do some good research and gather some valuable info then consider posting a thread, so others can benefit from your research.

Note : As always, please note that I strongly encourage you to seek help with whatever is troubling you. With the right help things can improve. There are many sources of help if you look and reach out. Please seek assistance in any and every way possible. You alone must decide upon your actions and take full responsibility for them, and you should always favour seeking help and keeping out of harm's way.

And here I was thinking that between 30 and 50 feet would be a good start, since I'm considering the method of jumping, too.
So I'm a bit temporarily hijacking this thread haha
I suppose my plan isn't a good idea, then? I live in the countryside, where almost nobody goes outside, especially during a general lockdown, so I counted on doing it a night, and there is really no other building taller than 30-50 feet. Thanks

What's this trick about making your brain think you don't fall, if you don't mind? :nomouth:
I think it's partially because I'm autistic, that it's easier to trick my brain. I sorta "control" or "activate" all my senses and then take control over them. For instance, I like to lay in my bed, with my eyes closed and imagine I'm falling. I picture it in my head and try to really connect to that picture, as though it really is happening.
(It's honestly not easy to explain to you how I'm doing it).

Are you able to make yourself sad by watching someone else go through something sad? (Like forcing yourself to feel empathy). That's sorta how I do it when I trick my brain.

A different way of saying it could be that I "go inside my body". When I imagine a sense that isn't real (i.e. falling), it kinda feels like I'm going inside my body. I'll have this heavy feeling in my chest as if I were to somehow move myself to that spot.

The fact that I can slightly control my dreams and I've taught my brain not to wake me when I realize I'm asleep, might maybe have an impact on my ability to trick my brain? But I don't know for sure.

I honestly didn't feel like they were encouraging me to ctb. But everyone interprets it differently, I guess.
Besides, I did wanna know if I should or should not try out this "plan" considering the lethality and they just simply stated their opinion, being that, based on the info I provided, I should and the outcome might be as I want the outcome to be.

I saw a video this morning, the bloke jumped quite a few floors, he landed weirdly on his shoulder, he survived, I would say it was around 5th floor, He looked seriously injured but he was *OK*,
