Venting I should've died last year.

[FailGirl]

I used to be homeless. Last year, in November, I was staying with my friend and their family, but I got kicked out and I had nowhere to go--except for an abandoned building.
I believe the building had 4-5 floors (I can't remember) and the door to the roof was accessible. I went up there to jump, and I almost did, but my friend called the police. The police found me, tackled me, and arrested me before I could.

I could've died. Genuinely! I was so, so close to death. I've never been so close to death before. And I wish I did die.

Currently homeless, so I relate to the struggle.

If it makes you feel better, there's a good chance you would've just injured yourself from that height.

Long story short: I dated a girl that worked in a psych unit. She had a patient, a small and petite woman, that jumped from the 13th floor of a building and survived it.

Put me off of jumping as a method to be honest.
