Fins i tot quan les nostres vides semblen anar bé, poden amagar un món de silenciós patiment, que ens pot dur a prendre la decisió d'acabar amb la nostra vida. A TEDYou, JD Schramm ens anima a trencar el silenci que envolta el suïcidi i els intents de suïcidi, i a crear recursos per a ajudar les persones que reconstrueixen la seva vida després d'escapar de la mort.

John had everything going for him.

semblava que en John
tenia la sort a favor.
tenia la sort a favor.
00:21
He had just signed the contract
2

2000
Acabava de signar un contracte
00:23
to sell his New York apartment

per a vendre el seu
apartament de Nova York,

00:25
at a six-figure profit,

del qual només havia estat
propietari durant cinc anys.
propietari durant cinc anys.
00:27
and he'd only owned it for five years.
5
12000
3000
Això suposava un benefici de sis xifres.
00:30
The school where he graduated from with his master's
6
15000
2000
La universitat on va obtenir el màster
00:32
had just offered him a teaching appointment,
7
17000
2000
li va oferir feina de professor,
00:34
which meant not only a salary,
8
19000
2000
cosa que no només significava un sou,
00:36
but benefits for the first time in ages.
9
21000
3000
sino beneficis per primer cop en anys.
00:40
And yet, despite everything going really well for John,
10
25000
3000
I tot i que les coses li anaven bé,
00:43
he was struggling,
11
28000
2000
es trobava en plena lluita,
00:45
fighting addiction and a gripping depression.
12
30000
3000
una lluita contra l'addicció
i una profunda depressió.
i una profunda depressió.
00:50
On the night of June 11th, 2003,
13
35000
2000
La nit de l'11 de juny de 2003,
00:52
he climbed up to the edge
14
37000
2000
va pujar a la barana
00:54
of the fence on the Manhattan Bridge
15
39000
3000
del pont de Manhattan
00:57
and he leaped to the treacherous waters below.
16
42000
4000
i va saltar a les aigües traïdores.
01:02
Remarkably --
17
47000
2000
Extraordinàriament,
01:04
no, miraculously --
18
49000
2000
no, miraculosament,
01:06
he lived.
19
51000
3000
va sobreviure.
01:09
The fall shattered his right arm,
20
54000
3000
La caiguda li va destrossar el braç dret,
01:12
broke every rib that he had,
21
57000
2000
li va trencar totes les costelles,
01:14
punctured his lung,
22
59000
2000
li va perforar un pulmó,
01:16
and he drifted in and out of consciousness
23
61000
2000
i perdia i recuperava la consciència
01:18
as he drifted down the East River,
24
63000
3000
mentre anava a la deriva per l'East River,
01:21
under the Brooklyn Bridge
25
66000
2000
sota el pont de Brooklyn,
01:23
and out into the pathway of the Staten Island Ferry,
26
68000
3000
fins que va sortir a la via
del transbordador de Staten Island,
del transbordador de Staten Island,
01:26
where passengers on the ferry
27
71000
2000
on els passatgers
01:28
heard his cries of pain,
28
73000
2000
en escoltar els seus crits de dolor,
01:30
contacted the boat's captain
29
75000
2000
van contactar el capità del vaixell,
01:32
who contacted the Coast Guard
30
77000
2000
que va trucar la guàrdia costera,
01:34
who fished him out of the East River
31
79000
2000
que el va pescar de l'East River
01:36
and took him to Bellevue Hospital.
32
81000
3000
i el va dur a l'Hospital de Bellevue.
01:39
And that's actually where our story begins.
33
84000
3000
Aquí comença realment la nostra història.
01:42
Because once John committed himself
34
87000
2000
Quan en John es va comprometre
01:44
to putting his life back together --
35
89000
3000
a recompondre la seva vida,
01:47
first physically, then emotionally,
36
92000
3000
físicament, emocionalment
01:50
and then spiritually --
37
95000
2000
i espiritualment,
01:52
he found that there were very few resources available
38
97000
3000
va descobrir que hi havia
molt pocs recursos disponibles
molt pocs recursos disponibles
01:55
to someone who has attempted to end their life
39
100000
2000
per a algú que havia intentat
abandonar la vida,
abandonar la vida,
01:57
in the way that he did.
40
102000
3000
com ell havia fet.
02:00
Research shows
41
105000
2000
Algunes investigacions demostren
02:02
that 19 out of 20 people
42
107000
2000
que 19 de cada 20 persones
02:04
who attempt suicide
43
109000
2000
que intenten suïcidar-se
02:06
will fail.
44
111000
2000
fracassaran.
02:09
But the people who fail
45
114000
2000
Però que els que fracassen,
02:11
are 37 times more likely to succeed
46
116000
3000
tenen 37 vegades més probabilitats
02:14
the second time.
47
119000
3000
d'aconseguir-ho la segona vegada.
02:17
This truly is
48
122000
2000
Aquests són, realment,
02:19
an at-risk population
49
124000
2000
la població de risc.
02:21
with very few resources to support them.
50
126000
3000
Tenen molt pocs recursos de suport.
02:24
And what happens
51
129000
2000
I el que passa és que
02:26
when people try to assemble themselves back into life,
52
131000
3000
quan intenten reprendre les seves vides,
02:29
because of our taboos around suicide,
53
134000
2000
a causa dels tabús del suïcidi,
02:31
we're not sure what to say,
54
136000
2000
nosaltres no sabem què dir,
02:33
and so quite often we say nothing.
55
138000
3000
així que sovint no diem res.
02:36
And that furthers the isolation
56
141000
2000
I això fomenta l'aïllament
02:38
that people like John found themselves in.
57
143000
3000
en què es troba la gent com en John.
02:43
I know John's story very well
58
148000
2000
Conec molt bé la història d'en John,
02:45
because I'm John.
59
150000
3000
perquè jo sóc en John.
02:49
And this is, today,
60
154000
3000
I aquesta vegada, avui,
02:52
the first time in any sort of public setting
61
157000
3000
és el primer cop que, de manera pública,
02:55
I've ever acknowledged
62
160000
2000
reconec
02:57
the journey that I have been on.
63
162000
3000
el camí que he hagut de recórrer.
03:01
But after having lost a beloved teacher in 2006
64
166000
3000
Però desprès d'haver perdut
un professor molt estimat el 2006
un professor molt estimat el 2006
03:04
and a good friend last year to suicide,
65
169000
4000
i un bon amic l'any passat,
a causa del suïcidi,
a causa del suïcidi,
03:08
and sitting last year at TEDActive,
66
173000
3000
havent participat
l'any passat al TEDActive,
l'any passat al TEDActive,
03:11
I knew that I needed to step out of my silence
67
176000
3000
vaig saber que havia
de trencar el silenci,
de trencar el silenci,
03:14
and past my taboos
68
179000
2000
superar els tabús,
03:16
to talk about an idea worth spreading --
69
181000
3000
i parlar d'una idea
que val la pena difondre,
que val la pena difondre,
03:19
and that is that people
70
184000
2000
i és que les persones
03:21
who have made the difficult choice
71
186000
3000
que han pres la difícil decisió
03:24
to come back to life
72
189000
2000
de tornar a viure,
03:26
need more resources and need our help.
73
191000
3000
necessiten més recursos i el nostre ajut.
03:30
As the Trevor Project says, it gets better.
74
195000
3000
Com diu el Projecte Trevor,
la cosa millora.
la cosa millora.
03:33
It gets way better.
75
198000
3000
Millora molt.
03:36
And I'm choosing to come out
76
201000
2000
I avui he escollit
03:38
of a totally different kind of closet today
77
203000
2000
sortir d'un armari totalment diferent,
03:40
to encourage you, to urge you,
78
205000
3000
per a instar-vos, per a encoratjar-vos
03:43
that if you are someone
79
208000
2000
que si cap vegada
03:45
who has contemplated or attempted suicide,
80
210000
4000
heu pensat o intentat suïcidar-vos,
03:49
or you know somebody who has,
81
214000
3000
o coneixeu algú en aquesta situació,
03:52
talk about it; get help.
82
217000
3000
parleu, busqueu ajuda.
03:55
It's a conversation worth having
83
220000
3000
És una conversa que val la pena tenir
03:58
and an idea worth spreading.
84
223000
3000
i una idea que val la pena difondre.
04:01
Thank you.
85
226000
2000
Gràcies.
04:03
(Applause)
