you are kidding it would appear that you have been suck in by Steph. seems that they are looking for the attention. I could never walk past a person about to climb over that rail without going up to them to at-least put my hand on their shoulder & give them a kind & sincere smile & a gentle rub on the back. Car crashes are too dangerous to others. Your logic eludes me. Funny you should accuse others of pushing their beliefs when I've seen you do the same in the comments section of every single doc I've watched on this site. I just read your post and was wondering how you are getting along. Some people will say "I never looked for God in my life and I'm fine" but a lot of people never looked at suicide as the answer to their life either. Also, you say she is "taking time away" from other people who may be serious about suicide, but by your own logic, those people would not be posting anything here. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I have pretty good instincts about depression, about the ability to sniff out whether or not that's actually what a person really is dealing with. To get you ready for the uniquely hilarious documentaries that the 50th season of Documentary Now! Someone I NEVER EVER EVER thought would do so. It was emotional watching people pass by as the person was getting ready to jump- some not reacting, some trying to help- and wondering what I would do in that situation. Very sad. did it not make you think , to empathise etc ?? could you call a hospital or drive to one. Do this first. I'm glad to see the ones that found hope in say god, did. seems that nobody really dont care. It should be viewed by all as it is an interesting (if only scratching the surface) piece on the subject of mental illness. But I don't. I have no patience for people looking for a reason to say they have depression unless you have an incurable cancer or your stuck in a wheelchair and even many of those brave individuals don't whine about being depressed they live each day to its fullest. It's weird, we were friends for 28+ years, never one time did we argue or "get mad" at each other. . You might be right, she is looking for attention, most people near suicide do the same hoping someone will come with a life changing suggestion....and some say nothing and do it. and I am sure that, given the oppurtunity - like that young man who survived, they would try to make different choices. Until it does, I will remember that it is not always bad. Does either group show any interest in how they came to be the opposing view holders? In response to: "I don't fully understand how this documentary is ''thought provoking'', just some people killing themselves. He also tells us through the word of God that he will Never Leave us nor Forsake us- he will never turn his back to you and will never be unavailable or to busy. Has anyone seen it? Those are real thoughts going through my mind at the time. It is a pain that is so unbearable that the only way these people saw fit to get rid of it is by doing something drastic. Like an aging star, go home, wipe off the makeup and make room for another view or at least if you carry some weight in Vegas still, share the stage with a different act...Lord, or not Lord, help us, get a grip and fight nicely children. Jesus doesn't have to be a part for it. My advise for the families and friends, move on, live your life. I would sure like to know. I used alcohol to escape off and on for over 10 years. Il cuoio è il protagonista indiscusso! To all those in this documentary and not who have lost loved ones to suicide and to all those who suffer from mental illness and have contemplated or attempted suicide, I do hope you find support and some peace. Last Christmas he came to me in a dream and told me about Jesus and how he's lazy at the pole and smokes Crystal most of the day. is there a crew always on site documenting suicide jumps? Anyways on topic. But in passing, most religee's are required to get new recruits. Yell? Thank everyone here for their comments...all of them. I would love to know if she is some sort of teacher. I don't know if it is denial or lack of understanding. Glad I didn't kill myself when I was still single and depressed as it was only a year before nearly everything I ever wanted (family/ministry, etc) just started to fall into place. I kept thinking to myself, "Did anybody consider suggesting he see a psychiatrist??". My only wish is that people will be more opened minded and treats "diseases of the brain" the same way and sympathy as Cancer, Heart Disease, etc. I know what it feels like to be suicidal, and I know what a failed suicide attempt feels like. I completely disagree with @mantid, and wonder if they actually watched the entire piece, or made an attempt to understand. Life is fragile and some are just too beautiful for this world. Or deal with it. Resulting in religious debate whilst almost completely ignoring the incredible tragedy portrayed in such a delicate fashion in this documentary. Depression is a mental illness that causes people to want to die. Ask them why and how they came to and can exist in this conclusion. I promise. PaulT . Documentary "The bridge"? Your ignorance astounds me. Had he taken even 5-seconds to determine when he'd be buried, he would not have done it. I am young, he was very young. I go on grief chat lines for my pain, and they really have helped. This is a real disease!!! The hatred for them has been mostly enforced by the religious and they are responsible for alot of bad things that happen to the homosexual community. Yes, worth watching. You aren't persuaded by their arguments, nor are they by yours. and if they are how were they managed to b captured on film? I get sick when people act like only god can help people... can't you people see that the way we live everyday with or without god, we treat each other like garbage? I accept it reluctantly for most of the time. The verse cited is often used out of context, because it is talking about temptation, not circumstances. Would it have been more effective to actually had said something at that time rather than wait 16 days before you said anything. Or you go through the day like a robot, feeling like you're faking whatever it is to be human... and not even caring much about that. Do you have a life at all?? I watched 'The Bridge' carefully, and could not see or hear any reference to how high it is - ie the distance fom the bridge to the water? There's a bridge here in Toronto that they rigged to be jumper proof because according to the article in the newspaper, our bridge was second only to the Golden Gate for suicides. I have missed out on life.
