What's your overall opinion on jumping method?

[samsrt96]

I've been considering Beachy Head but my phobia of heights (I couldn't even stand on the edge of the Empire State Building without having an anxiety attack even though there is a fence protecting you) combined with the tiny risk of non-instant death probably means I'll never try this method

i am a jump survivor. dont do it unless it is very high.

Hello comatose. Would you mind sharing with me what height and surface you recommend? I am considering it but I have only one chance and want to get some advice. Thank you

I go from thinking this is a terrible method to thinking it's one of the easiest.

Bros I don't understand all this stigma and speculation surrounding "methods". Maybe it's a positive and maybe it's a negative, but since highschool I've known the most painless method and exactly why it is so effective and popular: hanging. Most people think it's this hugely painful choking out before finally losing consciousness, but it's so very not anything like that.

Do you know about the "choke points" that wrestlers use all the time? It's easy to find them. Just take your fingers, and look around your neck for a couple of noticeably huge veins, the same veins that you check to see if someone's dead. There is one on each side of your neck. Mine are parallel, each around the back and directly below the back of my chin. It's easy to find them.

Now that they are found, try this thing:

Stand up straight with your back against a wall, with nothing you could whang your head against while you lose consciousness for a bit. Now bend down, the further the better, hopefully with your head below your waist line at least. In that position, take, oh, say, 20 deep, rapid breaths, emphasis on rapidity more then depth. Next, immediately stand up straight and use the side of your palms, the side closest to your pinkie fingers, and push them against the veins you found earlier. You'll start to see your vision swim, and blackness will encroach from the periphery of your vision, swimming inwards. Just keep holding for another second or two and then you'll wake up on the floor and you'll feel your brain starting to reboot.

The only extra step, the only thing different from you and a professional wrestler, is suicidality and a rope, or a belt, or I mean honestly the list goes on and on; where there's a will there is a way, and all of that.

Bam, you find yourself on the ground with no recollection of how you got there, and you have a newfound peace, knowing that in all but the most severe of imprisonments, you can ctb with no pain and no awareness of dying.

I do not understand how this is not more commonly known. My opinion is that among the right crowd, the people who are not making a statement or dramatizing basic depression, this is known. It has to be. All of my heroes hang themselves, so this isn't some big secret, but why is it never mentioned?

4 5 storey. Not painful during but very painful after waking up at hospital.

What were your thoughts (if any) during the free fall? Was it scary af or was it peaceful or just normal?

Warfarin would have definitely meant I would have died if id known to take it as I bled out massively internally from my pelvis, spleen, pancreas and stomach.

How high did you jump from and what were your thoughts in free fall if i may ask? Was it scary in the free fall or just nothingness

I contemplated jumping off a bridge which was over a freeway, a potentially perfect spot. Though, there were too many people around me at the time; someone would have stopped me. Not to mention, it was near a bus/light rail station; I doubt there was a time where people weren't around. Would have been a really solid method, honestly.

Portlander?

To me jumping sounds like a terrifying way to leave this world, but I've always envied those with the courage for it.

Best method as long as ur jumping 85-90+ feet off the ground. Too bad my only fear is of heights.

I recommend rush towards the edge of building from my experience. It has helped a lot to beat SI.
