has anyone heard of the documentary called "The Bridge"? it was made in 2007, i think? its about people who jump off the Golden Gate Bridge; i had never heard about this movie until just the other day and I'm obsessing about it. I want to watch it but im scared to see people actually jumping off of it...ive read so many articles and bios about it and yet im still terrified to watch it. the more i read about it the more i want to jump from it. it seems so painless and quick. Lately, all i can think about is suicide. i dont understand my brain. i have a nice life...i have a bf who loves me and we live together in our own house, i have my pets that i love, and my friends... but i just cant help thinking about killing myself. i dont think id do it because the thought of hurting my loved ones scares me even more. i feel sick thinking about suicide, but i cant help it.. ive recently got back in touch with my old therapist and i have an appointment to see him on the 25th, i havent seen him in 3 or 4 years and im scared to tell him what ive been thinking. i have a job and a life and i cant be sent to a hospital again. i feel too "grown up" to be doing such things. its not like how it was when i was in school when i didnt have anything to worry about it except homework.. i have bills and other associates who depend on me. im sorry this is so long i just need to vent..i have no one to talk to about this except my therapist and i cant talk to him yet..ugh..my brain hurts!

Hey i feel the same about suicide but i feel like my family should not enter a world of pain for me to end my suffering im not worth that i might have to watch this now i could update you and tell you how i feel after watching it ahaa but yeah i feel pretty much the same way as you except im still in school and everyone is telling me im going to fail and im going to go no where and it stresses me out so bad i just cant concentrate or focus long enough for crap to stay in sorry i needed to vent some emotions to ahaa i shall watch it and get back to you I didnt know you could change font coloursWOW
30 minutes in I DO NOT recommend watching this if your are upset its so far a real eye opener and you see alot of jumping off and how family's are effected i shall update at 1hour
An hour in and its very sad it does make me want to commit just a little bit so if you are suicidal dont watch

I've heard of the movie and seen some clips from it. Very sad movie! :( I want to watch it but no clue where to rent/buy it.

I watched it a couple weeks ago actually. It was hard to watch all these people jumping and being filmed without anyone helping them. It was also interesting though but triggering nonetheless. Hearing about the survival stories shed some light on it though and the one guy that pulled a woman up over the barrier and saved her from jumping.
I actually watched the whole thing on youtube, it's probably been taken down for copyright by now but yeah.
