Article with suicide mention (not mine) (~)
So upon being reminded of its existence, I went and read the New Yorker article about the Golden Gate Bridge and how it attracts people looking to surrender to the black dog. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2003/10/13/jumpers
The part that leaps out to me is the part that leapt out to a lot of people - the part where they interview people who lived. And they say the same thing, that as they fell the suicidal ideation left them, and they realized that they didn't want to die.
And that just makes suicidal ideation seem so much more evil to me, because of the people who didn't make it. How terrible their last moments must have been, realizing that there was a monster in their mind that had manipulated them into doing this, and it had abandoned them just in time for them to realize that they didn't want it and that it was too late.
Suicidal ideation is a monster.
