I know I have had moments in my life where I thought about suicide.
It never seemed like an option, though. Not because I always felt it was better to go on living, but more because of how selfish an act it seemed to me. Suicide could've ended my suffering, but inflicting such pain on my family and friends made me feel too guilty to ever seriously entertain it. I guess I'm lucky in that I had those people there as a reminder that there were plenty of things in life to be happy about.
