Confessions Of A Golden Gate Bridge Jumper AND Survivor

What was so bad in your life that got you to the point of jumping?

It was a number of things! I’ve struggled with debilitating pain since I was 13 and depression, anxiety, and complex PTSD since I was 15 so that’s what the suicidal ideation was but two weeks before my psychiatrist at the time doubled my antidepressants (very bad idea) which threw me into a manic episode. I ended up dropping my savings on tattoos and then jumping off the bridge in a week.

If Not Money, Possessions, or Status… Then What?

fulfilling_life

We live in a society that constantly bombards us with messages about what we should want in life. Advertisers tell us that happiness comes from driving the latest car model, wearing designer clothing, or indulging in luxury vacations.

The media glorifies the rich and famous, making us believe that status and wealth are the ultimate measures of a life well lived.

But what if, at the end of the day, none of those things truly bring about the deep fulfillment and contentment we all crave? What if we reach all of those socially prescribed goals, only to find that we still feel strangely empty inside?

Relationship Matters: “My wife is still friends with guys she used to FWBs with a long time ago”

FWBs

So myself (34m) and my wife (30f) have been together for 5 years. Married for two of those years. We have an amazing marriage, never once had to suspect each other of anything. Our trust is absolute, so this issue is more related to my personal ick and discomfort above all.

I know everyone has a past, I know I’ve had a past. I know she’s had a past. We’ve both had prior relationships and prior casual encounters, so I’m not judgemental. Everyone has a past.

She has a wide circle of friends, she’s very active on social media, she texts a lot of them often, lots of guys and girls. Lots of them she’s known back from her high school and University days before we got married.

How to Let Go of Embarrassing Memories

embarrassing_memories

We’ve all experienced embarrassing moments that seem to linger in our minds far longer than we’d like:

  • That time you tripped in front of a crowd and turned beet red.
  • The awkward comment you blurted out in a meeting.
  • A wardrobe malfunction at the worst possible time.
  • Saying the wrong thing to your crush.

These memories can pop up unexpectedly, flooding us with the same awful, cringeworthy feelings we felt in the moment. Our first instinct is often to run from the discomfort, to push the memory away, to distract ourselves so we don’t have to relive the embarrassment.
