Jumping much more unpleasant than SN?

[Walilamdzi]

I am imagining the fear of jumping to be quite a lot worse to experience than the discomfort of SN? Attempts at hanging didn't work for me so far.

I'd argue that fear of heights is something that's almost genetically ingrained in all humans. I don't fear death but I'd certainly be afraid of jumping from a building especially considering what kind of disability it can cause if you survive. All SN requires you to do is ingest a small amount of salt water and it's unlikely to trigger anywhere close to the same amount of survival instinct.

I don't have acrophobia but i feel sick if i think about jumping. I am almost vomiting thinking about jump.

They are right about fear of heights. Jumping was once my method of choice but I just froze on one attempt. I didn't realize how much willpower it takes.

Jumping seems to involve less SI than most methods, TBH. When you jump, there's not a lot you can do after you've jumped. With SN, you have to drink some, and then force yourself to drink some more.

The main problem is the consequences if you survive a jump.

Yea, i would say it's good in the way that the decision takes only a second, then it's downhill xd
And the possibilities of survival SO SLIGHT ♡♡♡

I would say it depends on the individual. Some people are terrified of heights, others are terrified of the possibility of vomiting. Some people want a quick but confronting method, others want a more gradual one. If I had to guess, I'd say the majority of people would prefer SN over jumping. But that's just a probability thing, and doesn't predict your own preferences.

It would probably do you good to make a list of pros and cons of the two methods, with particular focus on how you feel imagining each scenario. You also have the ability to look off the edge of bridges or buildings (without jumping!) and see how you feel about heights.

Jumping is my preference, SI was over come easily, SN scares me but would be a second option if the first fails. not that I can obtain SN

I'm a bit worried about ordering the SN because I'm in a halfway house so staff would see anything I order. I wonder if they would buy me saying it was something else (presuming it's well packaged) or an excuse. Could try partial hanging again. Just getting a bit desperate to leave now.

SN is easier than jumping.

Do you have the option in your country of getting items delivered to your nearest post office, or parcel lockers for collection? Or click-and-collect delivery to a parcel collection location?

Yes.
Violet legs.
Popped vertebrae.
Pneumonia
Im just gonna say tho that I only felt the injuries after a while upon waking up. The adrenaline made it initially nearly painless as I lost some feeling in my limbs and experienced burning panic

I trained myself out of fear of heights. After 7 years Im able to climb 40-50m bridges no problem. The only thing left is the fear of death itself

You survived a jump?

 

[BridgeJumper]

You survived a jump?

Yes. But a mediocre one. 15 meters training stunt

Main reasons jumping has deterred me are: (1) lack of accessibility to heights required to guarantee a high likelihood of immediate death; (2) seen videos where people survived for at least a few minutes after jumping (not sure how conscious/in pain they were, but the bodily damage done was traumatic); (3) traumatizing to witnesses

I watched a documentary about people who survived jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. All of them said that as soon as they jumped off the edge they started to regret their decision. So I realized jumping would be a horrible way to go. What if you jump and regret it while you are falling, but there is nothing you can do? That seems awful.

That's something they're forced to say to avoid involuntary commitment.

I'm not afraid of heights, and jumping just feels like the most freeing thing I could do. I'm planning on bungee jumping, but the nearest place requires a bit of a hike and in the past month or so I've hit my lowest weight and I can feel how weak my body is after a few flights of stairs.

Anyway, I live alone so things like SN and hanging are options I could choose. But I've said before that I don't want to do it in front of my dog. Also they just don't appeal to me as much. I always see posts saying that those who survive the jump instantly regret it, but it's a 4-second fall and I don't think it's like a conscious thing where someones like "this is the wrong decision" but more like a survival instinct where the body's response "is that something is wrong"

Another important thing to consider is that pets often eat vomit, either their own or ours, both out of habit or out of hunger if left unfed for any period. If you consume SN and then vomit (which is fairly likely), this is likely to contain enough SN to injure or even kill your pet.

You make a solid point!
