If you were to jump, what would you think about while falling?

[Close_to_freedom]

I don't want to think about sad shit.

 

[glittergore]

Honestly, if I were to choose to CTB that way, I'd want to think of nothing. I've decided to die and therefore have already thought about all I want to think about in this life.

Good answer. I forget that I hate thinking and death would relieve me of that. How would you go about thinking of nothing?

I have a very overactive mind and therefore have spent some time learning how to clear it. If you can train your brain into focusing solely on physical sensations instead of mental, you can eventually learn how to have as empty of a head as possible. This may be difficult when jumping however, particularly if that SI kicks in. Probably one of the reasons I wouldn't choose this method.

Is that a kind of meditation?

If you jumped, you could focus on the air hitting your body or the ground below or the sky if you fall backward or at the people on the bridge looking down at you in horror lol

I am not a fan of heights anymore, and my SI would definitely kick in first foot on the bridge, BUT if I were wired to CBT that way, I wonder if it would feel like those nightmares where one is falling or skydiving ....I don't care for that uncomfortable thrill in my stomach!.. Maybe in my youth I did crap like that when I was in the impulsivity and recklessness of my Mental Illnes. I did sky dive tandum ONCE with a friend in the military when I was 21. But I vowed NEVER to do that again- I vowed the minute I left the plane, mid air I vowed it again, closed my eyes in terror the entire way down, might have cussed my friend out, the landing was horrific, I vowed never again, and then I vomited on the airfield shortly after the landing..... it was rather humbling and humiliating at the same time...I shouldn't say never, but let's say I have zero intention to do any thing of the type again..my method is SN..

Yeah it terrifies me. SN has too many rules though. Take this med and dose at this time, measure correctly, etc.

Yup! I personally do body scan meditation. It doesn't do shit at first, but eventually those neural pathways develop and you get better at it. That's a good point about focusing on the physical sensations while jumping; I just fear that you may be too panicked to do that if the SI is involved.

Yeah the panic is scary. I think i'd blackout. My anxiety is already so high all the time that jumping might shatter my mind before I land.

"I believe I can flyyyUAH"

 

[Despondent]

I'd imagine my thoughts would be racing as I'm falling that I wouldn't be able to make out a clear thought

 

[Hhhhhh]

probably just extreme terror. thems the breaks

 

[AnxietyAttack44]

I think i would be overwhelmed by the fact that im falling to my death and would start repeating to myself that no pain lasts forever, over and over again untill fall. Or just start praying. Maybe even count. When i tried hangings before i would just count to see how far i go untill blackout.
I wish i had some high jumping spots avaliable tho. Cant go back once you make that step..

 

[Mosulonfire]

You would not think of anything. You would be struck by the lack of gravity, and being unused to this feeling, you will spend the whole brief flight just feeling amused by the fall. Same when flying a super small plane and constantly getting into the air holes. Gives you that rush and you loose control over the thoughts

 

[sadghost]

In those brief few seconds I would want to think about something positive - a happy memory or a favourite song lyric

 

[Lorntroubles]

"Oh shit."
Because WTF I never felt this before.

I like that. I hope that it would really be like that.

 

[SuiSqueeze92]

I wonder if I locked the door before I left



Without any drug assistance, I think you wouldn't know what to think... feel like the thoughts would be racing and before you realize how fast you're falling by distance from ground... bam.

 

[IWTD]

You wouldn't have time to think. Falling is rush and ends quickly. It's not like sky diving, that's a different type of falling.

How is it a different kind of falling?

Even if you fall backwards?

I can see that. Enormous mental pressure like a tornado.

 

[SpottedPanda]

I can't imagine there being much time to think about anything.

I'd probably manage a 'oh shit I'm going to hit the ground, I hope it doesn't hurt' before I landed.

But how much can one think about in two or three seconds?

My fall would be 10 seconds.

You could always close your eyes and hum a song.

Or jump backwards flipping off all the spectators

 

[lostangel]

I would say ''I hope I black out''.

 

[Deleted member 17949]

probably the floor coming towards me ngl, pretty hard to ignore that shit

 

[IWTD]

I was struck by a car a couple years ago, whilst riding my motorcycle. I was thrown from the bike and hit by another car. I had a nice head trauma. Felt no pain until I regained consciousness and after the shock. I would imagine from a 10sec fall you will not feel pain nor wake up. Have you or considered getting help. I did while I'm not cured per say I'm actively trying to live. It's just still tough

I've seen many doctors and therapists. Hasn't helped at all. Living on disability and having to rent a room sucks.

Your crash was also unexpected so it doesn't really relate to actively jumping from a bridge.

What if you fall backwards?

Definitely unexpected. I was trying more to use it to relating it to the pain aspect of it. Once the brain has trauma I believe the pain is non existent.
If you are wondering what falling is like give bungee jumping a try.
I've seen some really crappy therapists that are just prescription whores.

 

[NotGonnaLast]

I'd be thinking how much I hate heights
