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.

@Toomuch2say2day thank you! Ididnt know about this until now
@Ylisse You're welcome. I hope you are getting support if you need it. It took a lot of courage for you to share how you were feeling. Stay strong 🌸
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.
@Ylisse
@RarelyCharlie i didn
Yes, interrupted attempt would be accurate.

@Ylisse
i would classify it as having suicidal thoughts myself not as a suicide attempt an attempt i would say is doing it and it not working for some reason it was a thought that you didnt act on followed by other thoughts about life and your worth in this life i dont know how your feeling now but if youd like to chat id love to chat with you just message me :)
