It's interesting to note that there are differences in how men and women address suicide. Men have a tendency to use violent methods ie gun, while women are quite apt to overdose. Men are also more private, and not as willing to talk about feelings. That makes me wonder if when a man posts a suicide threat is he more apt to carry it out? But, the one's I've seen on PBabble have been from men. The only reason I've Posted this is that this was my experience when I worked in psych. I agree fully that a suicidal person does not care about others if they are serious about harming themselves. Fondly, Phillipa
