Discussion Just some thoughts on jumping

[Erin Inari]

First off I would like to commend those who are thinking of jumping or have jumped, it takes some serious willpower to do something like that. I was thinking earlier about jumping and found that I didn't really find the method appealing to me. I just think that there are a few factors that stop me from trying to do that. Fear if heights but that isn't really an issue when you are planning to jump anyway. The fact that if the fall doesn't kill you then you would be in a lot of pain before finally dying or being "saved". Also the end result of the jump. I know that it won't really matter to you because you would be at peace, but I don't want someone to find me like that and be traumatized; well more so than seeing another method. I know that the method would be quite lethal if you are high enough and land the right way but I think that I would only do it if I was guaranteed not to survive. Like from a plane or skyscraper. Just some thoughts, anyone else given any thought to this?

Height is not a factor for me, I have had stood on freeway bridges and look down and no fear. But those freeway bridges are not high enough for me. My only fear is not dead but paralyze or someone saw me jump and put me in a mental hospital.

My plan is a 1,000 feet (300 meters) bridge where surrounded by mountains and rock and a river, but the problem is it is a tourist bridge. I know 1,000 feet height is enough to kill me instantly, I just worry that someone might saw me climb and pull me back, and take me away. No, I don't want to end up in mental place where they monitor me and take away my freedom of continue CTB.

I'm still thinking of a way how to get people in this tourist bridge won't know I want to jump. There are security around who train to recognize traits of those who want to suicide.

I don't have family or next or kin (my only toddler has died, he was my last reason to live, now I have zero left to live for), I don't really care about my body crush down there.

Skyscaper? I don't want to go through parachute training courses before they let me jump from a plane.
And you can't just jump off a commercial airplane, I believe once the plane in flight, all the doors are lock.

Arrive jogging. Exercise clothes, sunglasses, ear pods.
