    This is a crazy way to go. You know instantly you fucked up but those few seconds falling must feel like eternity

    sheer terror and fear from what's comming must be overwhelming, purging any sane thoughts out of your conscioussness. 

    Horrible way to go.

    100% survivors of suicide attemp by jump have changed their mind 1m into the fall, confirming depression is just chemical imbalance in your brain. 

    edit: changed their mind, not made

    I agree u shouldn't jump to ur death, but this doesn't confirm anything about any sort of neurochemical imbalance beyond that falling to ur death is scary.

    That doesn't confirm that. There is no consensus on what depression is. The chemical imbalance theory is fifty years old. If it were true, SSRIs would cure depression. They don't.

    Not quite. The commentor said survivors. Obviously there will be a few people out there who jumped and didn't change their minds at all. But if 100% if people who survived suicide by jump say that they instantly changed their minds, that tells us that the vast majority of people regret the jump.

    The weak breeze whispers nothing The water screams sublime His feet shift, teeter-totter Deep breath, stand back, it’s time

    Toes untouch the overpass Soon he’s water bound Eyes locked shut but peek to see The view from halfway down

    A little wind, a summer sun A river rich and regal A flood of fond endorphins Brings a calm that knows no equal

    You’re flying now You see things much more clear than from the ground It’s all okay, it would be Were you not now halfway down

    Thrash to break from gravity What now could slow the drop All I’d give for toes to touch The safety back at top

    But this is it, the deed is done Silence drowns the sound Before I leaped I should’ve seen The view from halfway down

    I really should’ve thought about The view from halfway down I wish I could’ve known about The view from halfway down
