High Place Phenomenon

Thought I'd cross-post on the topic of "High Places Phenomenon" as some might find it helpful to learn that somebody leaping off a high place to their death might not actually indicate a deliberate rejection of friends and family or even the desire to die !

So, from http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2015264&p=-1&#bottom

If so, makes you wonder why.... Christ you just finished school and the world is your oyster.... Why do yourself in at that point in time...

Coz the free ride party is over and the big bad real world and ever increasing responsibility for self is fast approaching and one has mistakenly decided "it doesn't get any better than this" ?

It really doesn't have to involve so-called "depression".

Then there is the matter that some folk tend to have the urge to jump when presented with simple/easy access to high places.

google "High Place Phenomenon" or "urge to jump" and see what I mean. Variants of "Do you get the urge to jump when in high places" are near standard psych questions.

See these links for starters: http://www.xojane.com/fun/turns-out-im-not-suicidal-after-all and http://bodyodd.nbcnews.com/_news/20...eird-urge-to-jump-off-a-bridge-explained?lite

So, it really could simply be yet another tragic case of being alone in a high place and one part of her out of the blue went "why not" and was acted on before another part of her got the chance to go "no don't !" and countermanded.
