Thank you for your reply and care that it's in Japanese. It's lucky that SN is still accessible. I have not decided my method and whether to ctb but I hope it is also available in my country. It's always good that there are choices. (I write in English so that other members can read)

The sad part is that the numbers around suicide are rarely accurate. They only record it as a suicide when it's confirmed by evidence, i.e. a note, etc. I recently read that the numbers of unreported suicides would increase the overall by 30% or more.
I expect those numbers to jump up exponentially as the economy and political situations continue to deteriorate, especially in the US. It's beyond tragic.
I read the statistic that less than 5% of suicide attempts are fatal. Think about that number for a minute, then think about the realistic numbers around successful deaths. It's astronomical. To think that many people are trying to kill themselves is a sign that the system is broken.
