When I tried to commit suicide the police officer that saved my life stayed at the hospital until I woke up. He told me I was valuable. That I had worth, and that I meant the world to the people around me. The ropes around him, those arms around his legs, remind me of being in the psych ward. The other patients saved my life by holding on to my spirit. I saw the value in them, even though I couldn't see any in myself.
This image hit me really hard. Thank you for posting it- I needed to see it.
Edit: My story has been gilded. Thank you for helping others see this.
Edit 2: a lot of people are commenting that his words were worthless because he didn't know me. I'd like to say that he spent 10 hours speaking with my family and friends while I was in a coma. He was reassuring me of their love for me, of my worth to them.
This is in North West London, at the North Circular A41 roundabout. Happened On Friday, it's not far from where I live. Some people had jumped in to stop him whilst others grabbed rope to tie and hold him in place until police arrived to save him. He was about to jump 25-30 feet onto a 3 lane 50 mph arterial carriage way during rush hour.
