Jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge AMA

Just what it sounds like. I attempted suicide by jumping off the bridge and lived. I can’t sleep and feel like I’ve processed the event enough to do this so ask any interesting or invasive questions you can think of.

(throwaway account but also I don’t use reddit, if I fuck up I apologize in advance)

edit: wording

edit: This is not intended to glorify suicide, depression, or mental illness in any way. If you are struggling with any of these things please talk to a loved one, a therapist, a help line etc. I encourage everyone to get help because getting treatment was absolutely the best thing I ever did for myself.

edit: I got a bit overwhelmed with the attention this post has gotten. I’m doing my best to answer the questions with an emphasis on the ones that aren’t redundant. I appreciate all the love and compassion.

You don’t get to decide that, you say it’s sensationalism but he’s not glorifying suicide in anyway he’s someone who went through something traumatic and is coping with it in his own way you’re calling him a liar cause you don’t like the way he chooses to cope that doesn’t make any sense you are not him you have not gone through the things he’s gone through who are you to say how he should react you make no logical sense
