tw suicide

[(Anonymous)]

does it count as a suicide attempt if you get everything you need together but don't follow through at the last minute? or do you actually have to get to the point of self-harm? i'm trying to fill out a psych questionnaire and i'm not sure how to answer a couple questions

i would count that as a suicide attempt, because you actually spent time and effort setting everything up for it, even if you backed out before real harm happened

like the fact you were able to complete set up says you were in the same general mindstate as people who attempt, you just had insight early enough to back out you know?

i've ended up in the hospital after a failed attempt and then i ended up in the hospital when i stopped short of going through a second attempt, i consider them both 'suicide attempts'

i think thats just planning or ideation

idk thats what my therapist told me bc i used to hoard old RXs and had a weird suicide box thing (i was not well) and i never actually overdosed but i had it and i had a note and stuff in the kit for when i wanted to.

but i think only u know, if it felt like it for real was an attempt theres no point in softening it. but if it felt like u were just ruminating but u know in ur heart u wouldn't actually do it then mb just ideation.
