Hello
Today, my professor cancelled his lecture last minute. I didn't have anything else planned for the day, so my friend and I just sat around and talked about random things. She doesn't know about my suicidal ideation, but she just thinks I have a strange fascination with self-inflicted death because of how often I talk about it. She doesn't mind it at all, and in fact finds it interesting to discuss sometimes.
I asked her what she considers to be an actual "attempt." Does going into it with the clear intent to die but ultimately backing out (or being found) before you can harm yourself count? Or must you already start the suicide process and simply fail it?
Take for example standing on a chair with your head in a noose but stepping down out of it after. Or climbing up to the top floor of a high building and then walking back down the stairs after seeing the view below.
I'm curious as to what you think. Thanks.
