It's not like I'm suicidal and wanna die or anything. But everytime I cross a bridge I get this urge to jump. It's especially bad if the bridge is crossing a railway and a train is coming... I kinda feel like a dog chasing a bumber everytime, but I just can't shake the urge to just launch over the rail and fall... Luckily I'm happy with my life and have a fairly developed sence of self preservation so I haven't succumbed to the urge just yet... but I'm really wondering if this is normal or if it's just me? :P

    I'm the same way! I also get this way when I'm on tall buildings. A few years ago, I went to the empire state building and I got this intense urge to jump off. I actually went so far as to grab onto the fence and tried to climb it. It didn't get anywhere, but I just wished that the fence would detach itself from the building and I'd just fall off. Another time, I nearly jumped off a bridge with an acquaintance of mine. This urge seems to happen regardless if I'm feeling suicidal or not and the really strange thing is that I'm afraid of heights O_0

    Everytime I am on a bridge and imagine what it might look like if I fell off. I am scared but have the strange urge to do so at the same time. I almost tryed as a child. I do this with everything.

    Jumping off a bridge onto a moving train would be pretty badass. As of this moment, that is now on my bucket list.

    Whenever I see one over a vast clear river I want to jump off. My friend actually did that off a famous bridge but he's a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I'd say it's normal.

    Every time I'm on a bridge, I think about jumping. Every time I'm in a car, I wonder what would happen if a bus smashed into me. Most of the time, I don't think I'd mind.
