Venting Yesterday I saw someone die

[SquidsCuts]

A 25 year old woman walked into traffic on the highway and I saw her die
I was right there in the passenger seat when I saw her walk in and be struck
The two other people in the car with me were screaming and crying
I wonder how the 2-3 drivers that hit her feel
Seeing this made me think of my own mortality all over again
Recently I hadn't really thought about suicide or self harm because my boyfriend was there to distract me from those thoughts
I don't know why she did this, she looked intoxicated
But in my heart, I hoped it was suicide. That at least she had finally reached her goal and that she was free now
I'll be honest, I envy that woman. I wish I had the courage to just go and die

I'm so sorry you had to witness that. That sounds horrific.

if it was suicide then she's chosen a poor way to do it......heart goes out to those in the car.

Idk, we need more trained professionals to figure out why people are like this, not just some human backboard that reads from a script. RIP to her, and my condolences to those involved

There is no help for people with mental illness. No one gives a shit if you have a mental illness, you are discriminated against at every level. This is the year 2024 and for as long as I've been on this earth nothing has changed and nothing will ever change. People with mental illness will never be considered worth saving. Look at how many suicides there are a year just in the US alone. Oh yeah they now have that great 988 system what a fucking joke

It's pretty brutal, in fact horrific

Yes, it is. I worked at a place that protected the two gay women who were married. One had a huge gay flag in her office. I asked for ADA and was denied twice. People with mental illness are invisible we suffer in silence

One person every 40 seconds globally.

Idk a lot of people poke fun at it. But until you actually experience it, u have no idea

It's no better in Poland. The number of suicides is increasing every year. Mental illness is eating away at society. There is no sign of any improvement. It will only get worse.

As for the OP's post. I am sorry to hear it. Not everyone is ready for such a sight. That's why I appreciate the work of doctors, policemen and firefighters (and other services). They often encounter very unpleasant situations that leave a mark on their psyche.

this world should be ashamed of itself. What a fucking tragedy

 

[FuneralCry]

I also envy the courage people like that had, to me they are fortunate to be permanently free from all suffering. But anyway rest in peace.

Not a good way to go, traumatising other people.

 

[TheSpookyNameGuy]

That's so sad to hear, truly.

Pretty bad all things considered, hopefully those that witnessed it get the emotional support they need.

I'm sorry that you had to witness such a traumatic incident. I understand how you feel about "switching places," though. I watch people die in hospice every day, very old and incredibly young, from all walks of life. I find myself constantly wishing that I could give them more time on this earth with their family and just pass away myself. I'm so tired.
