I have this strong urge to jump off buildings

60% Normal
13 Comments

OK, so I work with my father in construction currently and we are working on the 19th floor of a building. Every time I'm close to the balcony where there's only a rail protecting it, I have this extremely strong urge to jump over the rail and fall to my death. What stops me however, is the fact that I have a good life and my common sense. I feel every time I'm in one of those situations that my legs just gravitate towards the edge/to run off. IIN?

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I suggest bungee jumping.

    I don't bungee or skydive but I've done a few cliff drops (only a few I want to do more) and I can say that I enjoy the falling experience. Everything goes slower the wind is thundering loud. Awakens your senses. I love it.

    Are you attracted to the experience of falling not the result? (The result is death)

    Adrenaline is fun.

    I totally have the same urge and I hate it!! When I am any higher than say... 7 or 8 stories... I start to get major anxiety and imagine myself jumping over the balcony. I tend to go over to the balcony just so I don't have to consider myself a giant sissy... But I have to grab the edge first and the slowly walk the rest of my body over to it. I went on an air ballon ride this summer... Scared the living crap out of me... Not that the balloon was going to crash... But that I was going to jump!!!!

    I've had the urge, but actually going from consideration to action is a huge step.
