The human psyche is a strangely slippery beast, isn't it?

I could write some very long discourse about this, but will refrain. I do think that someone's basic nature and personality needs to be evaluated, to bring perspective to suicidal ideation. Some people are "dramatic" by temperament, and some are "stoic," if you will.

I know during my own couple of "dark journeys" I would wake up and find a reason to stay alive that day, and "other people" had nothing to do with that. Had I reached a point of "today" I would simply have done it, and done it effectively, and nobody would have known till they found me, later.

People have very different "discomfort tolerances." Some of that is nature and some is learned. If you subscribe to the idea that depression is anger turned inwards, think about the variance of how one person will regularly go into a rage as a result of getting cut off in traffic, while another will keep an even keel even in the face of watching their family being murdered.

In psychology, we label this as anywhere from "histrionic" to "dissociative," but where does it come from?

Sorry for the ramble...
