If you absolutely had to choose between drowning and jumping from a building, which would be better?

Jumping.

From what I've read, drowning is excrutiating. Jumping seems to be almost instant when high enough.

Jumping = death when landing on head

Would overcoming the fear right before jumping be enough?
That's the biggest problem for me."

Would 14 floors be a high enough height?"

Jumping = death when landing on head

Would falling backward work?

Jumping. Apart from the fact that jumping is the most appealing method to me, it's also most likely painless, whereas drowning is one of the most terrifying methods out there.

 

[Spite]

Jeez... both are horrible, but I think I'd jump. As long as wherever I'm jumping from isn't too high, but just high enough to kill me, knowing how fast I will fall, it would all be over in a couple of seconds.

I feel like overcoming survival insticts for jumping would be a lot easier than drowning.
Like you said, you just need to overcome that initial fear and you can't change your mind after.
With drowning you have to deal with the initial fear, then overcome survivial instincts through all the horrible things that come with drowning.

I'm not sure whether 14 floors is high enough, its not something I've researched.

I don't think I could jump off a building. I'd rather drowning

 

[SurrealCereal]

Jumping. Quicker and no struggle for air.

I hope jumping from a 9th floor is enough, because my garbage city doesn't have very tall buildings. Ah who am I kidding? I cannot access those anyways, they're mostly apartments; the tall hotels all have safeguards...
Now, drowning? I've read it's too long for it to do the job, and very painful.

I guess if I HAD to choose, jumping. Jumping seems straightforward, what you see is what you get. You just jump and then you die. Drowning has something mysterious and unknown about it, it seems particularly scary for that reason.

 

[skybox]

Jumping because it's my method of choice. Drowning feels like the complete opposite and I'm more scared of bodies of water than heights

 

[FuneralCry]

Which ever one is the most painless and quick, as all I want is to never suffer again, I just want to be free from this torturous, dreadful existence of suffering all for the sake of it that I just always saw as a mistake, all I want is a death like falling into an eternal, dreamless sleep.
