I was dragged to hospital. There's a bridge on the way home. I was a coward. If I go back, will it hurt?

Help for suicidal thoughts
Where to get help if you are having suicidal thoughts, and what to do if you are worried about someone else.
www.nhs.uk
Please consider them.
Yeah, it's going to hurt quite a bit. And if you don't die right away, that's pretty much a lifetime of some kind of major injury to live with
I know you have good intentions, but not helpful.
OP, if it helps, please, watch this:
OP, there have been other posts like yours on this forum along these lines. Please understand that this means that we're all struggling now, and you're not alone in feeling this way. You can make it through this. Speak to those that you love.

Everyone who tries it and survives regrets it as soon as they jump.

A terrible curiosity, one whose answer you can't take back. This sadness and feeling is temporary, GummyBear, don't let sorrow get to you. We're all going through pain, and we're here to hear your pain, because with so many of us here, I'm sure more than a few of us can understand your pain.
Talk to us, we're listening for you here; you made a topic and we should talk!

Hey, how about we talk instead. Maybe listen to some Third Eye Blind.
Seriously, don't do it. We are here for you friend.

I mean, that video is all about a character regretting his decision to commit suicide from a bridge. As useful as any half-baked Ted Talk stuff is going to be in this situation.
Please don't choose a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Please hold on and get some help. One day you will be much happier and think back and be happy you did not go through with ending it all.
OP bro, let's just talk here for now. If not here, please call 1-800-273-8255 .
It's OK - from your post history you seem like a really awesome person. It takes guts to own up to that thing you mentioned about your family situation/environment in that Trans thread, and you wouldn't be doing that if you weren't a good person. We need allies like you!
OP
OP
My ex left me alone. My family left me abandoned. I became an abusive piece of shit. I just want people to be happy.
Whatever you have done, you can turn it around and help people. You can make a difference.
If you need help, we got your back alright ?
Suicide by jumping is one of the worst ways to go, OP. Physically painful AND there's a high chance you'd feel immense regret before impact no matter how hopeless you're feeling right now.
That being said OP, I've been there and as cliched as it sounds it DOES get better if you allow yourself to get better. There's comfort in the sadness when you're depressed, but once you start making even the slightest progress and start climbing it's incredibly rewarding and you'll no longer find normalcy in the darkness. You'll appreciate how strong you are, looking back at how you managed to get better even in such a dark place. And things will finally be better!
You got this, OP; keep on fighting! :)

You don't need your family. You got this. Let's think about you for now.
Please seek out a professional and talk to them. People love you and need you in their lives, even if it doesn't feel that way to you in this exact moment.
I hurt some innocent people in my life, I know it sounds cliche, but I know how you feel. I just wanted to end it because I didn't feel like I deserve to live after hurting good innocent friends. Hurt by my recklessness. Though you will hurt many more people if you jump.
I felt like taking my life but I kept going, 10 years later, I'm glad I stepped away from that ledge. So please reach out. We are here for you.
I get it man. But as far as we know this is the only life we got. Death will come eventually, it is out of your control, all you need to do is live. Just by living you are adding meaning to the world. Look at this thread for instance, you are helping us make a forum to talk about this stuff, we need people like you around. We gotta stick together man :-).
Don't do it.
Also, all the people that have survived jumping from a bridge, say that they regretted it on the way down and there was nothing they could do despite no longer wanting to die as they fell.
Talk to someone, don't ever give up.
I have a friend that is 34. She tried committing suicide 5 times from the age of 14 to 31. She now has a family and 3 kids. She talks all the time about how she would have thrown everything she has away if she had succeeded.
You always mean something to someone, reach out.

Yes it will hurt. You and people that love and care about you.

Please consider them.
Nothing I can say right now will change the amount of pain you're feeling at this moment, but I can promise you a better future that has you in it if you'll stay. There are things you haven't done yet, people you have yet to meet, things that need to be seen by you -- if you leave, you'll leave a hole in the universe that gets bigger and bigger and swallows the people you care about. You're not defined only by the worst things you've ever done and the worst state you've ever been in -- as long as you're here, there's time to become better and learn how to move forward.
Give people here a chance to show you how big that hole would be if you were gone. Stay.

Yes, but not as much as it will hurt for those who get left behind.
I'm sure you're already hurting if you're seriously considering this. I wish I could be of help. But please, find someone that can help you. You can do it! We're here if you need us.

Things can feel dark, but those moments in life are temporary. Do everything you can to not let it get to you, use this as an opportunity to start over and become a new person. It's not an overnight change and you might stumble along the way but this is a path you can only walk if you stay here in the world with us. Become a person who can make themselves happy, who can look back and be proud of the changes you have made in your life, and after you are down that road then start worrying about others. Life is what you make it, not everyone is delt a good hand but become the person who can be proud of winning with the hand you were delt. There are plenty of people who are willing to help you down that road, take the help there is nothing to be ashamed of.
There are people out there who want to help you.

I am sorry. I hope I hurt nobody in my desperation.
I'm sorry you edited that out. But if it means anything, I wouldn't be here today without that speech. Bojack understands mental health in a way I just don't think other shows do.
When I saw it it made me scared of the darkness too. But now I just want it, I want the end.

I know what the video's about, I've seen the show. It's not helpful in a situation such as this. It's essentially guilt-tripping OP to not go through with it. Using the wrong methodology to arrive at the right outcome. Whereas the Ted talk I linked has to do with empathy.
The moment you leap off that bridge, you will immediately regret. Whatever you're feeling right now, death is not the answer.
Ending it all will only make people more sad. No one will be happy if you take your own life. If you get help and over time work on yourself and improve little by little, you will love yourself and others will love you too. I am not saying it is easy, but it can be done Gummy.
