RantWoman here posts real testimonials from people who have thought seriously about suicide but not attempted it.

From someone RantWoman knows and deeply esteems, definitely in the category of "would never have thought" and thank you for the bravery of writing!

A political collaborator who is very open about continual struggles with depression says the thought that keeps her from actually attempting suicide is that she is afraid she would just screw it up and wind up as  vegetable with even more hassles and frustrations than she lives with all the time.

A friend from high school who says "I am a buddhist. I belive in reincarnation. I do not want to have to learn all this stuff all over again."

And for friends of RantWoman's who attempted and ...

MMK, who among many intercultural and disability issues called a hotline and got put on hold.
SM who drew together several threads of RantWoman's grad school life--for his bleeping memorial

And for people who survived attempts
And for SDA whose attempt in college got her to therapy until she was killed 30 years ago this year, way too young in a bus accident.

and a random recovery story off the interwebs.
