the fact that she escaped and crawled up that hill is a testament to her will to live, what ever demons she went through she found the courage to fight that on the brink of death and told herself she would survive. One hell of a determination.

We are all capable of such things, its our brain in survival mode, a woman who lifted her car up to free her baby and many such incredible stories.

Amen. My hope is that everyone who feels that desperate finds that courage, determination and will to live, that spirit of survival. I personally know what it's like to feel hopeless and want to end your life. It's so amazing that she found that strength within her, which to me, indicates that she was not alone...something greater and more powerful than us was with her down in that ravine and lifted her up and pushed her up that hill. That's my belief anyway. I don't think it was just adrenaline because I doubt adrenaline "superpower" would last as long as she did. It was an unseen hand.

Rob, i understand what you mean and i support that, but i don´t like that term "temporary". If you have never suffered from *decades* with depression ( and loneliness ), and i sure hope that you NEVER do, you can´t really understand what that does to a human being. Suicidal thoughts, in most cases, are not just a thing that comes from one day to another, except when people face a serious traumatic experience, which is a different case and cause, are most likely a long time thing, months, years, even decades. "Don't let a temporary feeling end a beautiful existence". Trust me, the existence / life of a severely depressed person is not beautiful. At all. There is no life, no joy, no energy, no hope, in many cases no love. It is literally only existing, not living or feeling alive. In a TED Talk years ago, Andrew Solomon said something very good and on point: "The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality." You literally feel dead, empty inside. Over a *long* time.

@@slcncr I have been and am currently under care for depression. I have seen the depths and heard the call to end it. I have sat on the edge looking down hoping for the darkness to swallow me whole. I have gone to bed with the intention of never waking up. The thing is that moment (or hour, or day, or week or year!) that I wanted death passed.

Letting people, your family or friends, know how you're feeling and being receptive to what people are telling you, open up early and help. Mental health issues are as a rule a snowball effect starting small, this is where we need to get onboard, asking for help and helping out. We need to stop saying we're fine when we're not and doing it as soon as we feel things are getting to us.

[@LarsDennert]

Regrettably when every day someone wakes up and can't solve the pain, death seems better than enduring the pain. There's a very thin line they walk at that point when they don't care about their life anymore. Fall to one side of the line and throw their life away, or fall to the other and hand their life to someone else to do what they want with it. Surrender can happen in the briefest of moments. Sometimes you just won't happen to be there to catch them. Sometimes you'll just never know you need to as it's well hidden.

So, I'm gonna go out on a limb and reveal, as someone who has dealt with suicidal thoughts for the last 35 years, such thoughts have very little to do with specific individuals. There's several things need to be understood. A) unlike the misconception of those who've never experienced them, such thoughts are not voluntary, nor do they happen for any specific reason. B) However, an event of some kind is just the catalyst to push someone to the point of taking action. C) Often, the only thing holding one back is, fear of pain and suffering, inconveniencing/causing anguish to others, and the primal instinct of survival. Not the perfect analogy, but think of it this way: you have a very stressful job, at some point, you quit or are fired from that job. Instantly, all the stress of responsibility of that job vaporizes. That's what suicide means. Literally all problems a person is dealing with end. It's freedom from everything. Even if there is nothing beyond death, all problems cease. Hope it helps for those wondering what may be going through the mind of someone who has committed suicide.

I have been helping my wife with her severe bi-polar depression for 40+ years now, but had absolutely no clue about depression prior to meeting her. What the average person who is never exposed to depression often does not understand is that in many cases, a person suffering a manic depressive low is experiencing extreme physical pain. Most of you have awakened at night to a muscle cramp in your thigh…..imagine every muscle in your body doing that at the same time….for hours. On top of that physical pain, you also believe that every person on the planet hates you and wants you dead. It is a private hell where you believe death has got to be better than this. This is a situation that a box of candy or a couple of good beers won’t help. The people close to the depressed person must recognize the symptoms and get this person professional help. Medication controls the symptoms that lead to that dark place of excruciating pain and suffering. Logic and reason have no power in this situation. I know this from 4 decades of dealing with this daily. I am no psychiatrist or psychologist, just a loving husband. Trust me….do not try to deal with depression of a friend of loved one on your own……seek professional help.

You can only do so much. Don't ever blame your self. Bi-polar is a wicked brain malfunction.... even professionals can only do so much to help the victim. I say victim because the person is a victim of a brain malfunctioning disease beyond their control. Be patient, add lots of fresh organic fruit and veggies to their diet. It DOES MATTER, and the person DOES FEEL BETTER.

FWIW - if the opportunity arises it may be helpful one day for her to hear how strong she was to survive that, climb out even with injuries, and to live on. It might help her to know that she has some strength greater than whatever weighed on her that day. Stronger than many of us to be sure.

[@WinterMan.]

Can someone please help with my questions with an open mind? Her car flew over the steep slope due to speed but there aren't any tyre tracks of where she landed. Why? How come the door is battered in but the windows aren't broken? Only one wheel (front right) is slightly out but the rest are still straight. How? Why was there long branches placed on top of the car like its being covered? How did she get out and crawl up that hill after a HUGE accident? Should the head of the car be facing that direction if she flipped without touching the log on the ground? Do you think the local news will do an interview with the lady to find out more? I'm not trying to be rude to the family if they are reading, no disrespect at all, I just have some questions that's all. And I'm happy the lady is alive.

After surviving a rollover accident at work in a 5 ton water truck, I’ve been having a hard time trying to figure out why I didn’t die in my accident..

I’ve never understood blurring them anyway. It’s on the back of your car for everyone to see everyday lol.

Because, people have resources to lookup and identify people by the licenses plate, in heightened situations like this, it’s safer to blur. In everyday context, who cares.

There are many stories of suicide survivors having a revelation right before their version of "the smack" lands. There were at least 2 people at different times and different cities (NY & Chicago, IIRC) that jumped and landed on a car that crumpled just enough for them to live. They both told of how they thought it would be best, jumped, and somewhere on the way down, they saw all the people that would be sad. How much they still wanted to do, etc. As the end rushed up at them, they realized they wanted to live.
