I live in NYC. Unfortunately, jumping from a height is harder than one would think. Your body falls in projectile motion as an arc. So you'll likely land just beyond the sidewalk, where all the cars are parked. A car will break your fall and render this method unsuccessful. If you happen to find a place without cars, you need to watch out for street signs, flower/tree arrangements, and garbage bags. People are also abundant, so clearly you have to jump at specific times (e.g. 4am). Hotels have locked windows, so you'll need one with a balcony and hope they assign you to an appropriate height (and again, the landing spot needs to be researched).

As for me, I live on the 8th floor (too low). I have access to the apartment roof on the 12th floor (this is sufficient, I think). Cars are parked below, so I'd have to wait for a spot to open up so that I can park my own car there, and then move it out of the way at 4am. This also has to be coordinated with garbage collection and my work schedule.

I've coordinated this effort before, but the SI was just too strong as I sat on the rooftop ledge. So I really need a way to reduce this. If I had easier access to this method (24/7, without need to plan), I think I'd be successful (because impulsivity would play a large role).

Sigh. Any advice on how to reduce SI for jumping?

Probably the easiest thing I can think of is learning to tolerate physical pain and developing a sense of fearlessness.

Edit: for example, you could maybe try some extreme sport or bungee jumping or something until you get desensitized to falling. Or at least until you'll have an easier time doing it.

My method is also jumping and I've been at this for years. I believe when the time comes you're just ready. That's it. When the moment comes you're at peace, no fear nothing just absolute peace.

Have you ever seen suicide jumps?
Gene Sprague walked on that bridge for 1.5 hours before he jumped. There's definitely fear in this method. In others, I agree with you, just not with jumping

Alcohol is solid for this. Best thing i could think of is try to gain access to a high place and drink

Practice makes deadly perfection.
My method is train but it feels like we are in a similar boat because of planning and SI.
You have to find a way to desensitize yourself tot the situation by doing all your steps and stages as much as possible until you get bored of keep trying again and finally commit.
A little alcohol will help but I wouldn't rely on that too much since you want to minimize unpredictable outcomes.
