    Got stopped by a rando while trying to build up the courage to jump. Told him that my car was broken down and that’s why I was stopped in the middle of the bridge in pouring down rain.

    He got out and offered to help me, despite the fact that it was 3AM and the rain was coming down hard.

    Awkward.

    The car of course started just fine and I thanked him and continued my drive home.

    I doubt he had any idea the difference he made.

    I mean, to be fair he was literally out with a friend. A new friend, yes, but a friend.

    Don’t let your worst day be your last. A large portion of people who survive true suicide attempts tell you they changed their mind as they jumped.

    If you’re feeling suicidal, the solution isn’t to remove yourself from the situation. The solution is to get out of the situation that makes you feel that way. There are people who want to help you do that. Make the call ❤️
