Is drowning really that bad ?

[flaral]

I wanted to drown as my method to ctb but the more i looked into it the more and more i saw drowning being listed as on of the most of painful methods and miserable ways to die and now i don"t know if i should go with it or try doing a different method.
Issue is, I already had everything planned out where I'd do it, when and how to reach that place as its a pretty long distance. Now I don't know if I should go with it, I assumed it"d be painful for the first 2 minutes then you go unconscious but from the looks of it, it seems much much worse.
I want to know if it really is that bad or people over exaggerate it.

I don't have a huge amount of information for ctb by drowning but I have forcefully been drowned to unconsciousness before and had to be resuscitated, from what I remember it is painful, but the main thing I remember is just how absolutely terrifying it was, so much panic and fear, it is by no means a nice way to go but it could potentially vary based on your desire, willpower and the fact it would be self induced and not inflicted by someone else. Sorry if it's not much help but thought it may give some perspective at least.

imo almost all things are practice

look at the free divers . they can train themselves to push past the need to breathe. some can hold their breath up to 5 or 6 minutes.

How Freedivers Can Hold Their Breath For So Long

Learn how freedivers can hold their breath for so long, combining skill, biology, and focus to stay underwater longer than seems humanly possible.

www.breatheology.com

most people without practice will try to hold their breath and after a few seconds or a minute they will get unbearable pain of suffucation and need to breathe . and almost all will fail can't get throug it and start to breathe.

however i don't know if one can get to the point of holding breath to passing out without torture during the last few seconds.

imo it shows the freedivers got more used to these feelings and overcame many of them with practice.

the hard part of course is researching finding out and learning how to do the correct practice. the hardest part is doing the practice ever day.

when i first tried to hold my breath . it was 20 seconds and torture at the end.

i did it just a little but i guess i can hold my breath a minute but still torture at the end.

seems i improved very rapidly in time and has kept up through the years the ability i gained with just a little practice

A highly trained freediver can often hold their breath for 8-10 minutes.

Elite divers: Elite freedivers may exceed 10 minutes in competitive events.
