I didn't know that, but I picked YOUR post, because it contained all the elements I wanted to comment on!

Have to say, you're "preaching to the converted" here, Sharni!! I have no intention of going into details, now or ever, but I've BEEN in the "Dark Place" and come out the other side ~ it was only once I came through it though, that I was able to 'think' clearly at all..... and THAT'S when all the feelings
You have about suicide hit me, too.
And they've stayed with me ever since. I've also "lost" people to suicide, both friends AND, last year, one of my patients. It hurts, as you know, makes you want to bring them back and kill 'em yourself for being so stupid..... MY job is doing that (sort of!)
BEFORE things get that far... but when you're dealing with a person who has already decided that killing themselves is the only way "out", they WON'T tell you, no matter what you try. It's only the people who are only 99.9% sure that we (as in Mental Health Workers) can do anything about it.
Just as a point of interest; the highest rate of suicide (in Britain anyway) is in young males between ages 18-25..... there's all SORTS of reasons why "they" think this is so...... my thinking is, they don't REALLY know!
