If you're wanting a reliable method, jumping just isn't it. I'm sorry, but the odds aren't in your favor here, usually people who jump have a high chance of survival. And trust me you don't want to be around after a jump like that. Best bet is to just find a more reliable method, guns, SN or something like that. I know how much it hurts just to be here, but we're in enough pain already. Least we could do is make sure our exit is a soft one.

Hope you can pull through man.

Anything less than ~200 ft can be not fatal. I read even a forum post recently here of a guy taking a selfie fell like ~120 feet and lived.

Edit: That 200 ft number is for water now I remember. For pavement it seems like 48 feet but still a very high chance of surviving and being disfigured/paralyzed forever. I wouldn't take those chances

I wonder the same. I wish it was easier...
In my case, when I tried to hang myself last year, I got drunk af so as not to be so scared and nervous.

5 stories will just horrendously cripple you and leave you absolutely fucked. Nowhere near high enough to guarantee death. Re evaluate my friend

 

[needaplan]

there is a jumping thread either on here or in the wiki, something like 100m on concrete and 150m on water (not exact numbers)

 

[nopointofliving]

You're right. Jumping is scary and not reliable. Don't do it.

Hmmm, interesting. I was actually thinking of jumping, but I currently only have access to a height of 5 floors. It would be onto concrete, but like people here have mentioned, I'm guessing that's probably not high enough, AND I really don't want to end up paralyzed, disfigured, in a vegetative state or whatever.

I was also thinking, if I were to jump, I would take several Xanax, maybe even some Propranolol, and Alcohol beforehand to calm me down. Anyone know of someone who tried this combination before jumping?

Don't, 5th floor is definitely not high enough. You probably have a 50 50 chance of dying at best. I'm sorry but you'll have to find somewhere higher. 150 feet onto concrete is 95-98% so you want at least that height. There's no guaranteed trick to make you land on your head.

like the other replies say, jumping probably isnt the best. but for courage, its def alcohol. even on my best days, half a bottle of vodka and im ready to die right there. but yea other methods are for sure more reliable

 

[PlathWannaBe]

Yeah, it also doesn't sound like the best idea. I don't know, there's also something a bit dramatic, but also extremely frightening about jumping, hence the need for Alcohol and drugs.

I never really thought about it, but jumping from some place much higher, even though you would be almost guaranteed to die seems so fucking scary. Ughhh, I can't seem to overcome the fear aspect of death, like so many other people here. The will to live is so fucking strong.

totally agree, thats why im opting for opiod overdose over sn. pure bliss till the moment you pass out, youre so fucked up theres no room for regrets, and the last thing you feel is the amazing high from the drug. only problem is if it will actually work :/
but ye u right, id never have the balls to jump. i doubt many people would sober
