I have known a lot of people who have entertained the thought, but 99% of them would never come close to committing the act. There is a difference between thinking about what would happen if you died, and suicide. There is also a difference between thinking about escape via death, and suicide.

Thinking about death is, to me, reasonable. The more you understand something, the less scary it may seem. Since I was a child, I contemplated death and its effects. I have never been afraid of dying.

I guess in high school I thought about what it would be like if I died; but I never wanted to kill myself. I'd also been in situations where I figured the only real escape would be death, but again: I never wanted to kill myself.

So I guess I'm asking: do you want to know about people who simply think about killing themselves, or people who think about it seriously, perhaps with the intention of following through?

I don't know if that made sense, I haven't slept in about 52 hours. But either way you cut it: suicide is never a solution.
