Yorick - you may be unaware of the fact that I ma a psychiatrist who has spent 20 years assessing people who have attempted suicide, working with children and spouses of those who have suicided, reading and taking part in research into suicide and deliberate self harm, and working with those who suffer emotional and physical pain. This is what I meant b my knowledge of suicide and those who attempt it. In all this time I have been repeatedly struck by the thought "there but for the grace of god go I"
Suicide is never simple. Some people can survive unbelievable pain yes ... but we are all different and have different support systems around us. We all have different reasons to stay alive or not. People who kill themselves are not cowards - just very ill and/or very desperate.
Odds are that at least 10 people who have read your post on this board have made a serious attempt to end their life. You may disagree with what they have done but please don't judge them.
