If you're thinking of committing suicide ...
On the bridge, Baldwin counted to ten and stayed frozen. He counted to ten again, then vaulted over. "I still see my hands coming off the railing," he said. As he crossed the chord in flight, Baldwin recalls, "I instantly realized that everything in my life that I'd thought was unfixable was totally fixable--except for having just jumped."I found this article discussing the building of a net on the Golden Gate Bridge. This quote is from a man who jumped off the bridge and survived. I think his words say it all. Hang in there, things will look better, later. You just have to survive, right now.
Reminds me of the old AA saying (I think it's from Alcoholics Anonymous): "You just have to not drink right now." Take each "right now" independently, and face each moment on its own. Eventually you will be OK. Trust me.
