Failed attempt - what next?

[112]

I jumped off a bridge on Friday and survived with injuries

in hospital now, only have access to a phone because of a visitor

Re-evaluate the situation. Do you want to attempt again or have you changed your mind?

 

[FuneralCry]

I cannot imagine how awful that must be, surviving an attempt. If I was in that situation I would see when I can get out of the hospital and then see how I feel. I wish you well.

 

[lostmyself]

Wow. How high was the bridge? Are you sorry you attempted or want to try again? Feel better.

 

[Largeletters]

Failed attempts are very hard, at least in my experience. I hope you heal okay and that your injuries are not severe.

Damn! That's a brutal way to go, even if it works. Especially if you're jumping into water.

How do you feel now?

 

[forrrest]

I feel that. I've had four attempts in my life so far. Every time I've fucked something up or fucked the attempt up because of my own actions. I'm such a damn kluts, I feel like a fool forever even doing it. Not because I wish I hadn't, but because I fucked up something as simple as killing myself. I hope you recover from your injuries. Much love

Killing yourself is not easy ...

 

[motel rooms]

I hope your injuries aren't serious. Don't jump off bridges that aren't high enough, people...

 

[WrongPlaceWrongTime]

Hope for a smooth recovery. You're lucky you didn't become a vegetable, I wouldn't recommend jumping off places for this reason.

Do you believe in god?
If so, maybe it was a sign to keep on trying to go on with your life. I know, if this happened to me, I'd believe it's some kind of divine intervention.

You speak like some angel was sent to scope him up while he was mid air (so silly). They just failed an attempt at jumping thats all there is nothing divine intervention about it

 

[LostSoul1609]

How are you doing now?

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

I have been thinking about jumping from one of those hot air balloons, myself. Cost is around 200-300 bucks. Looks like there are no guardrails on at least some (maybe that's outdated info, everything is getting child-proof fast). Hard to get the specifics of heights and where I'd land though. A botched jump is something I don't want, so my condolences for the suffering.

Might seem silly to you. Different people interpret events differently.

And I'm not talking about an angel scoping him up mid air, I'm talking about the probability of death. If somebody jumps from a high enough bridge, there is always a probability of dying. The fact that he survived is an outcome which was not certain to occur.

You might call that statistics, physics, math, a failed attempt, whatever. I'm just saying if that happened to me, I'd see it as a sign from the universe - and yes I would thank my guardian angel for the guidance and try harder (to live).

Can't you just do that right now? That's what I'd do if I believed in angels

I do it every day when I wake up and when I go to sleep. I have even written some personal vows to my angel that I recite every day. Spiritually I feel very safe.
However, mentally life crushes me and drags me down. I don't trust people, not even those who are closest to me. I expect betrayal from everyone each second that I live. My angel is the only being that kept me alive so far :(
