There was something you mentioned that was so familiar. It sounds like you cycle through it often enough, but I only was there once. When I tried and failed, I was already convinced about how little good I could ever accomplish. Failing at killing myself was so ironic but so fitting, it seemed like some sort of cosmic joke. Although I did feel even lower than I had when I had made up my mind, all I could do was laugh. I still laugh about it -- but the self-mocking tone has left.
