In reply to Precipitating suicide?, posted by Jane D on October 19, 2001, at 1:21:36
For me, it starts with just the idea of suicide popping into my head more and more frequently - like, every time I try to read a book, the word "suicide" jumps out at me - no matter what I'm reading. Then I start to find myself abstractly considering things like windows - does it open? Is there a gate? Is it high enough? What's below? By the final phase, anything can set me off crying, and it rapidly goes from there
to standing by the window . . .Usually the last things that set me off are work-related because it's my sense of responsibility to my clients that is the main thing that keeps me going.
