Since I was a kid, I've always held my head under water to help with migraines, block out the world, help with stress, relax etc. There's a peacefulness under water!

Maybe that's partly why i'm drawn to drowning as a method!

Can anyone relate to this?

Even if you can't relate, i'm curious what method would you
use to drown yourself?

I also used to hold my head under water, and am also drawn to drowning as my method. My only "real" attempt that hospitalized me was a drowning attempt via cold-shock response (spoiler alert: it did not work). After that failed, my plan was to jump off a relatively short bridge into a deep river, with a backpack of weights securely attached to me via a contraption of my own making. When the time came, I was fully ready to drown, I had imagined each step of the drowning process in detail and was ready for the pain, as well as being at peace with my death, but I was too scared to jump!!

So if you can find a better way to access deep water--maybe a boat or something--then I'd say drowning in cold water with weights is a good method, especially if you have benzos or some other calming drug on hand.

Disclaimer: obviously if you choose drowning, you have to be prepared to experience the worst pain of your life.
