My friend did that when I was 17. I don't know if the train driver ever went back to work afterwards.
probably not.
some years ago a train driver plowed through a flock of reindeer. he left a streak of total carnage. he didnt go back to work either.
my point is, the train offs you, and theres no question about it.
pills: small chance of sucess, it may take hours to work, and in the meantime youll get interrupted and saved. often your body fights too hard, and you simply survive the overdose.
knife: takes too much hardcore ballsyness to carve yourself up sufficiently to bleed out, also takes too long. too much potential for failure.
bridge: pretty sure, but so much worse if you fail, having to live the rest of your life in a wheelchair, w a shattered spine or something lame.
gun: see above. if you are really out of luck, you're discovered, revived, and living the rest of your life a terribly reduced person.
the point of my point is:
people dont really want to die.
(they want a better life, a better reality. sometimes they erroneously attribute death with these qualities: death is like sleep! death is the start of a new and better life!)
so instead of using _death_ as a "cry for help", why not actually use words?
"i need someone to talk to", or something... i always disliked suicide...
