Is Jumping in front of a car a good idea?

[JJMaynard97]

This afternoon had a real bad urge to jump in front of a car. But well obviously I didn't. Is it a good idea?

 

[SufferingInDenmark]

very bad idea, and you would hurt others.
if not physically, they would be traumatized for life

 

[Namelesa]

Very unlikely to actually kill you so very risky method.

Of course, stupid thing for me to think off. Thankyou. I don't want to hurt anyone in anyway.

My teacher used to say "there's no such thing as stupid questions". And now you gave me a valid argument

Your right. I'll end up possibly paralysis

I watched gore and saw quite many people throw themselves under the truck. They died but it was messy.

Horribly bad idea. Not only is the risk of failure extremely high, you'll traumatize the driver and could also cause an accident, killing more than just yourself.

I always think that suicide should be a personal thing. If you want to go, by all means do so. But please don't involve anyone else in one way or another.

Thankyou so much, I feel ashamed to consider that idea.. just struggling to see the light at the end.. my mind is going to awful places. Even thought of setting fire to myself with petrol. Feel I need guidance. But Thankyou again for your response.

A completely unethical method, IMO.

Not only do you risk traumatizing, injuring, or killing the driver, you have no idea how many other innocent people could be affected--if the driver veers off the road to avoid you, they could kill multiple bystanders.

To top it all off, it's not even a reliable method. My father was hit by several cars throughout his life and survived. The very first time, at 7yo, he had a head injury that left scar tissue in his brain and he had grand mal seizures for the rest of his life. Almost 40 years of epilepsy caused by a few seconds of contact with a moving vehicle.

Don't be ashamed at all! When we're in that deep, dark, all consuming depression and you just want it to stop, you sometimes overlook things or don't think of them.

Trust me I've been there. I can't tell you how many times I've been driving and thought about how easy it would be to drive into oncoming traffic and end it all. At that time I didn't think of anything else but my pain. Looking back on it I'm obviously glad I didn't now that I can look at the situation with a clearer head.

We're hurting. We want it to stop. And any method thought of in the moment makes sense, whether in theory it does or not. Give yourself some grace.

Asking questions is one way that a person learns, and as others here have said, there is no stupid questions.

I am living with 24/7 chronic pain from a VERY nasty car crash, car crash not my fault, just wrong place at the wrong time. I now live with my right-side aching, tingling and now sometimes my right leg gives out and I take a header into the furniture.

It would mess you up along with all the trauma for the poor soul driving.

I have had 2 attempts, and I know the feelings of depression and various other mental health issues, but I would never ever want to hurt or traumatize another person ever.

Huge hugs, caring thoughts, well wishes and the knowledge that we are ALL in this together.

no stupid questions! personally I find this method to be highly unreliable and more likely to put you in a worse position. meant with care. I relate to your thoughts. thought about it myself. there's too many uncontrollable variables.

Thankyou and I'm so sorry to hear that. With what your going through. Apologies for that and your right. One thing you'll need to know about me is in all honesty I care more and more for others than myself. I would never ever hurt or want to cause pain to others. Thankyou again and all the best.

Your 100% correct. I wouldn't be able to go with it. I could never put anyone else in danger. It just came to me in the moment as I was asking past traffic on a walk and just burst into tears. Thankyou for your feedback.

We are your right!, Thankyou for your kindness means a lot. . It was like a moment of just my mind drifting. Decided to go for a walk through the woods up along the quarry near were I liv. Which wasn't the best idea. Then the thoughts took hold. It was a spur of moment and having a surge of bad emotions, failure & fear. So at the moment up and down with the way I feel. I've always suffered with no confidence, even when I was a kid. The comfort of me when I was a kid, I always believed I'll someday get better and life would improve. Sadly years have gone by, the friends I had. Have gone and feel as I'm a couple of years of 30 life is going backwards and becoming almost a ghost as I've I don't exist. But we're all here suffering in one way or another and having these discussions help and huge amount Thankyou for your support and my support to you too and everyone who's read my post.

Thankyou
