At various times in my life, I've decided on suicide -- but only after I've tried those last-ditch-effort things that I couldn't do when I wanted to live. It's as if deciding to die has opened up new options that weren't there before, relieved some of the pressures that kept me from doing anything, something like that.
Of course, it could just be that we're really, really perverse and totally weird, but I think making the decision isn't the really bad part. I think ACTING on the decision is the bad part, you know?
No synaptic activity today, so this is short. But I, too, have found it possible to do better for myself after deciding I would die -- relieves the pressure a lot, maybe.
