MEXICO Desperate man, for reasons not specifically known, resorted to a tragic act. He climbed over the railing of a pedestrian overpass and jumped. Although it was not very high, he hit his head on impact and died at the scene. One of the bystanders tried to stop him. Despite following all the recommended guidelines for talking to someone attempting suicide – speaking calmly and keeping a respectful distance without invading his personal space – this time it simply didn’t work.
If you’re thinking about suicide, please stop and recognize that your pain is not permanent, but this step would be. It may feel like there’s no other way, but there is hope, even if it’s hard to see right now. Your feelings are temporary, and with help, they can pass.
Talking about what you're going through might feel difficult, but it’s the first step toward healing. Don’t turn away from the people who want to support you. Life can offer more than what you're feeling right now, and the pain doesn't have to last forever. You deserve help, and it’s available.
If you need immediate help, please contact a helpline.
