age when people feel the need to CTB

[Ash’Girl]

First thoughts: probably younger than 10
First attempt: 12
Multiple attempts over teens and early 20s

Occasional more thought out attempts in 30s.

Lifelong thoughts / wish to be dead. Absolute failure on effective follow through.

12 was when it started. I was raped at 11 and had an abusive childhood and adolescence. I tried at 12 and failed.

I've had ideation off and on since. At 19 and 34 I was determined to do it, but held on in the hope things could get better. I'm now 40 and know this is the time. Too much has happened over the past year and I'm just done.
