Would you jump if you had no other options?

[GuessWhosBack]

I initially thought I could wait until February, but I am not that comfortable with waiting anymore. I want the closure that my attempt will be the end of it all. There is simply no way I can survive this fall. It is estimated to be between 250m to 300m. A lot of people have died there so I assume it will be patrolled. My biggest fear is chickening out and getting caught. I don't have a fear of heights but I've never stared down a cliff with the intent to jump.

The SI involved with falling/jumping is brutal. I've been on the edge, over the railing twice and couldn't personally do it. Then again I couldn't do 'safe' cliff diving and bridge diving either so I may not be the best person to ask.

I was the same. Have been on the edge/over the railings 5 times and couldn't do it any of those times. It's like my brain wanted to, but I couldn't physically jump, it's awful.

All the time I don't know how I'm going to make it through the next minutes and jumping always comes into my head. It's such a terrifying thought. I've seen someone jump on video because I do think about it and they sure as fk didn't get to the bottom peacefully. They screamed and they were terrified, naturally. When they got the bottom it was lights out, but getting there was horrific. It's truly terrifying and so I don't know if I could actually do it.

I've had people I've known jump off a bridge and I always wonder, did they die on impact or die from drowning because they got paralyzed from the fall.

I wouldn't jump if I were landing in water. There is flat rock protruding from the base of this particular cliff.

 

[SVEN]

I'd probably take a half bottle of vodka with me and once I'd had it I'd be up for doing something daft like dancing on the edge or trying a handstand. Hoping I'd slip and fall without having to actually nerve myself up to jump.

 

[Rubypie41]

It's the uncertainty of it that leads to SI kicking in. The absolute fear of it being traumatic, painful and that by some disaster you survive it and end up a crippled and or brain damaged mess. If it was absolutely guaranteed then you'd be more likely to do it, but there are no absolute guarantees, hence your brain goes into overdrive weighing up the risks and then SI kicks in.

 

[badK9wolf]

guess i'll probably have to. i don't know of any other options now.

 

[Steff1337]

I would have to go that way if I had no other option, because I just need to die.

 

[CantDoIt]

I guess so. I would try to get something to lessen the feeling though...SI is insane with jumping

 

[Danby]

No. I don't want to think about it on the way down. I suppose I could get drunk first to lessen the fear . . .

 

[cowboypants]

No I am scared of heights. I would find some other option

I live on the top floor of my building it's the 30th floor but actually the building is 26 floors there's no number 4s in the building. I think about jumping every day. Then when my boyfriend suggests looking over the rail I'm so scared to look I can barely do it. My biggest fear isn't jumping it's getting on the rail and not jumping and dealing with the consequences. I can't do that to my daughter or my boyfriend. It's not their fault I am what I am. Which leaves a bridge but then I have to be deliberate. And why wouldn't I? Some sick pathetic hope people will suddenly care?

 

[possessed]

If I could find such a tall place (250m to 300m), I'll definitely do it.

 

[warriorkot]

i would, it would just have to be tall enough. i've often thought about it, i don't have many other options

 

[Emeralds]

I doubt I would be able to jump because I am afraid of heights. I would really have to be very desperate to be able to jump. I think the only way I would be able to go through with it would be to jump immediately when I got there. If I looked down or stopped to think what I was doing, I would be too scared.

 

[VoidedExistence]

If I find a high enough place, I will jump.

 

[Davey40210]

If there was really no other option I might. I have been on several ledges thinking to jump though and never did. I think I would have to trick myself into it, like others said get drunk, and probably also close my eyes, run at the ledge while thinking about something bad that happened to me, and trick myself into thinking I'm jumping in water right below. But SI is really powerful it seems.

 

[JR_Timm]

If opportunity present itself I will probably make a run for it for sure. But it has to be very high place, very scared of ending up messed up and paralyzed.
