Method Is anyone drawn to water? Drowning as a method!

[lifecanbecruel!]

Since I was a kid, I've always held my head under water to help with migraines, block out the world, help with stress, relax etc. There's a peacefulness under water!

Maybe that's partly why i'm drawn to drowning as a method!

Can anyone relate to this?

Even if you can't relate, i'm curious what method would you
use to drown yourself?

I also used to hold my head under water, and am also drawn to drowning as my method. My only "real" attempt that hospitalized me was a drowning attempt via cold-shock response (spoiler alert: it did not work). After that failed, my plan was to jump off a relatively short bridge into a deep river, with a backpack of weights securely attached to me via a contraption of my own making. When the time came, I was fully ready to drown, I had imagined each step of the drowning process in detail and was ready for the pain, as well as being at peace with my death, but I was too scared to jump!!

So if you can find a better way to access deep water--maybe a boat or something--then I'd say drowning in cold water with weights is a good method, especially if you have benzos or some other calming drug on hand.

Disclaimer: obviously if you choose drowning, you have to be prepared to experience the worst pain of your life.

Ive told this story before but I'll tell it again. back in 2017, I was at a beach in Mexico with friends and it was the first time id been in the Pacific Ocean. I had no idea how strong the water and the undertow would be and before I knew it, I was out pretty far and having a great deal of difficulty getting back to land. The water had gotten a hold of me and I was really struggling to get back. I became very exhausted and having trouble staying above water. I actually started to think that this might be it. It was absolutely terrifying. Luckily, a huge wave had come through and sent me closer to the beach and I was able to get to land with only loosing one contact lens and nothing else. I survived but I have to saying it was possibly the scariest moment of my life. The feeling that you are loosing control and might be drowning was so damn frightening. My mind was going in a million different directions. I am only bringing this up because if you choose drowning as a method, not only will it be painful way to go, there is a strong chance yr SI will kick in and it will do everything it can to get you out of that situation.

Just something to consider.

I thought about jumping off a bridge after being loaded with alcohol and whatever else I can find.

I was close to fainting underwater after long breath holding once, and I remember that feeling of tranquility which I had back then. I'm definitely not scared of drowning, and I could use it to CTB if my most favourite method were unavailable for some reason. As far as I can see, in terms of comfort/discomfort, the experience of drowning varies a lot from individual to individual. Some survivors mention intense anxiety (which might occur because they didn't plan to die this way) and significant physical discomfort, while others describe their experience as quite peaceful. The differences must be determined by the circumstances: physical and mental conditions of the person, water temperature, whether consciousness is lost prior to aspiration of water, the presence of irritants dissolved in water if it's inhaled before loss of consciousness.

Maybe that's partly why i'm drawn to drowning as a method!

Although drowning is not #1 in my list, I'd consider it as one of the most preferable methods for myself.

I'd likely prefer to drown in a lake, although I could use a river or a bathtub as well. As I easily sink, I wouldn't use any weights in case of drowning in a big pool of water, such as a lake. Before submerging, I would breathe nitrous (obtained from nangs and pumped into a balloon) with air or oxygen to the point when the analgesic effect of the gas is achieved (by the way, it has anxiolytic effect too). Then I would inhale pure nitrous to displace oxygen in the lungs while staying in water and submerge when the sense of impending fainting occurs. I think, regaining consciousness is very unlikely in this case, and even if it happens somehow, I probably wouldn't care about the perceptions from drowning under influence of the laughing gas anyway.
