Suicide attempt? (TW)
So about a week before Christmas, I was spitting on the living room coffee table with a knife to my wrist. However, i was unable to slit my wrists because my dear cat Olive had just walked in. She was meowing and rubbing on me and I thought
I still think about this. I want to commit. I dont want to be here or experience this, or feel this constant pain.
I'm not sure there is any strict definition of "attempt", so it seems to me you could classify it as an attempt.
If someone I knew in real life did what you did I would say they came very close to a suicide attempt, but they didn't actually attempt to die. But that's just me. You are entitled to use whatever words are best to communicate with your parents effectively.
There is a kind of grey area between wanting to live and wanting to die that's very difficult to describe. There are really no words for it.
