I've considered jumping and CO in the past but always preferred drowning for the sake of my family and avoid trauma to others. Problem with drowning is the suffering involved. But there may be a way to avoid it by OD ambien known also as zolpidem. It is not classified as a benzo and considered not safe to OD. Over D of ambien side effects are not pleasant but do include Coma and if that happens while I'm in sea I'm most likely going to drown with out knowing it.
So the method I'm considering is take a short drive to the beach at night, park my car, walk to the waterfront, swallow quite an amount of ambien pills with a bottle of water, get in to the sea that is quite warm and not wavy near my home, go only as deep as I can safely stand with my head and hands out of the water and wait for side effects to start making me pass out. Hopefully I'll fall in to a comma and drown peacefully.
Has any one thought about it or maybe know of any similar attempt made?

I've thought kind of what your saying.

Not that I want you to do this of course. <--

I thought about taking a bunch of xanax and alcohol and jumping or falling off a cruise ship.

I've always to go on a cruise, so it would be ideal for me.

Interestingly, in my recent grief I read that watching NDE experience videos helps people a ton with grief. (spoiler alert: it doesn't), regardless there was an interview I saw from a Doctor who had an NDE who somehow got underwater and was drowning and he said, "From all that I read and heard, drowning is a peaceful way to go". I was SHOCKED hearing this.

I've always been afraid of drowning.

Don't know much about Ambien though, other than what it is.

Are you worried about people possibly being on the beach?

I don't have the time for a cruise, I need it to be no more then a week or two from now., or things will get much much worse.
I'm not grieving any more I'm just in bad physical and mental condition.
I'm thinking of finding a strip of the beach that is totally private and its not a problem at night when the beach is almost empty. I'll just walk away from the city toward the next city. the beach is sandy and it should be an easy walk.

The first method that I considered was pretty much what you said. Thought I could get my hands on roofies and would use it before sitting on the edge of a bridge that extended over the ocean. Only concern was the possibility of me waking back up from my body experiencing drowning despite being under the effects of the drug.

The idea is good but I would say even if you reach a coma you don't reach it immediately. There are stages before a coma is reached and you would be unconscious but maybe not unconscious enough to not feel suffocation/drowning at all.

It still might be ok since I plan to be standing on the sea sand until I'm un conscious in the shallow water. any way I hope it will still disable my SI enough to prevent me from consciously aborting. Failure on CTB is my worst fear.

I think, the problem with a loss of consciousness before reaching coma is rather that it's reversible under the influence of strong stimuli.

i also wanted somethign like that but big bodies of water are far away. just have to find somethign that knocks you out for good and no matter what you don't wake up. i don't know anything like this. a user suggested nangs or duster but might wake up. drowning (as long as no one sees you) just seems like such a foolproof method. i wish i had a beautiful beach near

I have thought about this a lot too. I'm lucky we have some beautiful spots of water about 30mins drive from home. I thought about paddling out deep enough on the paddleboard and when I'm starting to feel like I am going unconscious, slowly lowering into the water and resting on my paddleboard until I am unconscious and slip off. But i would need something that would most definitely knock me out when taking it.

I was just typing what Time to Go posted to Fangarina for you when TtG's post appeared.
I'd definitely secure some type of weight to my chest (perhaps bricks, stones etc) in a backpack, however secured in front of me to ensure my being pulled face down.
Just in case SI kicked in as I was starting to pass out and I struck out for shore.
Whatever you decide, every good wish in finding peace.

A year ago I took a whole box of diphenhydramine, and got into my hot tub face down, waited to pass out. The hot tub is pretty deep and I am 6'2 tall but because I wasn't weighed down with something, I woke up about 4/5 hours later with my face just enough out of the water that I survived.

I learned that I needed stronger meds than diphenhydramine (ive now got zopiclone for my next attempt ) and being weighed down is essential really 😧

My only thing with being weighted down is that I would want the drowning to look like an accident rather than intentional. But I know realistically that without them I would probably just float so weights are a must. I do have weights I could put into a backpack and padlock it on so that if SI kicks in, I can't actually get them off.

Yeh I think most of us would want if to look an accident but people would work it out anyway…….ive stopped caring what happens afterwards now, as long as im gone from this stinking world ☹️
