I do understand that some people get to the brink of no return that they feel like life is not worth living...I understand that part...I also understand how many people in this world suffer from depression and the growing population on anti-depressants
I am sorry as I don't understand and have never been to this point of actually doing it...but if I were for some cracked up reason wanted to end my life...believe me I would be successful and I would go out with a blast like....
1. Go skydiving and not pull the string...but wait...this is a nice rush of adrenaline...I want to do this again.
2. Ride a racing crotch rocket motorcycle as fast as I could..but wait #1 applies.
3. Go ride a 25' wave on the North Shore of Hawaii...wait #1 applies again.
Too much in life to still experience...and I will live on the edge of danger that could end my life but I would never want to end it on purpose...
So some of you who have experience these feelings...please explain to me..

Because ultimately, human beings have a very strong survival instinct. Also, even though they are "attempting" suicide, subconciously they don't really want to die, they just want the pain (emotional, physical, whatever) to end.

Being the daughter of a father who attempted suicide when I was a teenager, I know why at the last minute he went and got help. He didn't want my mother and his eight children to blame themselves for what he did. He suffer from depression because of a back injury and is in constant pain. It is several years later and the back pain is still there and so is the depression, and so are the suicidal thoughts, but because of the love he has for his family and his family has for him. He promised that he would never try to take his own life again.

The act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally especially by a person of years of discretion and of sound mind which may be some type of selfestem problem, but they just want to be free of whatever is depressing that person and instead of toughing it out and face their problems they look for a easy way to handle to it....
