Ultimately, I found myself on the edge of a bridge entirely ready to end my life. You know, I had planned it. And that's really where I centered my TED Talk that I did many years later. If it wasn't for a stranger who happened to stop on that bridge that night and reach out and save my life, then I wouldn't be here today. I finally got to thank him for everything that he did for me, including allowing me to have this beautiful family and life that I have today.
