I'd been planning a jump from my 25th floor balcony for years now, but as my date approaches, I keep going out there and looking at the ground from this height and I'm terrified to actually do it. It was the only way I felt I could have the highest chances of not failing, but I'm so scared of heights that I actually get vertigo looking at the ground from up here.
Anyway, I've since been considering the partial hanging method, but I don't know how to let someone know to come get my body.
With my jump plan, I was going to call 911 right before jumping and tell them someone had already jumped so they could get me quickly, but I can't do that before partial hanging since they would probably arrive too soon and try to revive me. Emergency response is really quick in this area since there's a fire station and hospital right down the street from me. With a jump it wouldn't matter since it's all over in a matter of seconds, but with partial hanging, you need to be left alone for at least 30 minutes (I would want at least an hour).
I thought about sending a time-delayed email to my mother or sister to have them call 911, but I really don't want to traumatize them in that way. That would be a terrifying email to receive.
I live alone and no one ever really comes to visit me so it could be weeks before I was found if I just went missing and I'm worried about the decay and trauma of that.
For anyone that lives alone and has already thought this through, how are you going to approach this?
