    Don’t worry, suicidal people know. In fact, chances are they’re extremely aware of it. Maybe they even despite themselves even more due to it

    It’s just that they suffer so much, that suicide still seems desirable

      The best description ive seen is that its like being in a burning building standing at a window. Jumping out would be committing suicide. For some people the pain from the burning building grows so much they cant take it anymore and jump.

      I think I didn’t describe clearly enough, what I meant to say. I didn’t talk about the fact that someone feels like or in fact can’t be helped and continuing to live is just insufferable. And the decision to commit suicide hurts friends and family. I don’t judge anyone for that - as long as I didn’t walk in their shoes I can’t.

      What I mean is, that some decide to kill themselves and hurt/kill/traumatize people in the process. How do I describe it, without naming it? You know: Trains. Or high buildings. Ghost drivers.
