I had a bad night last night. I was lying in bed for two hours thinking about what it would feel like to fall off of a bridge. It seemed very peaceful. I wondered if I would face forward, backward, scream, or close my eyes, smile, laugh.I watched a documentary on the Luminous Veil project in Toronto. It is a proposal to implement a suicide barrier on the Bloor Street Viaduct, which apparently is a popular choice for suicide. The program really scared me though. I'd like to try to get some reading done today. I'm in the middle of Atonement by Ian McEwan, and the writing is phenomenal. I also have a book called The Cost of Competence: Why Inequality Causes Depression, Eating Disorders and Illness in Women. Sounds like an enlightening and upsetting read.
