As I'm fairly new to the forum, I'm wondering. Is there two kind of suicidal people : those who ctb soon and use the extreme depression to go through, and those who have ideation for the rest of their life ? Or is it more like a journey to the breaking point ? Because I feel like I will never be able to do it, despite the pain I endure. Am I possibly the kind of guy who will suffer through without ever attempting ? I see people thinking about it since years and not doing it, and it scares me.
I had suicide ideations for 18 years before I attempted. So you never know. When pain exceeds some threshold suicide becomes only option.

hmm... Interesting way to group them. I dont think i've ever come across this before, and it makes sense.
it being a journey to a breaking point can be true for both groups, i think. For some, the breaking point came before the prep, and thats why you have instances of CTB's being done on impulse, and for others, the breaking point is already there but they want to do things their way.
may i ask why you're scared? I mean, there's a LOT of posters here who talk about it but have been around since forever.

What was your method if I may ask ?
Well I'm scared of the process, and hurting loved ones. I know there is no hope for me anymore in life, but I cant quite wrap my head around actually doing it. I have SN but missing AEs. And I postpone taking an appointment to get it every week. Either Im not ready, or Im a massive coward.

No, I don't understand this thread, there is not two kinds of people rather we are all induviduals in different circumstances. And not everyone is privileged enough to be able to access reliable suicide methods in the first place.

I think those who still have at least something left in their lives that keeps them, maybe they still have some joy. If there's nothing left, I think they won't live that long and CTB will be the solution.

No. I think that's overly simplistic, people talk about "breaking points" but some people try to exhaust all options after their breaking point before deciding to CTB and some decide to live on for the sake of others whilst some decide to CTB for reasons that seem quite trivial. People have different reasons for CTB and view CTB differently and have different perspectives on their suffering, so it's hard to group em all into neat categories.

I'm the same that I don't think I'll ever be able to do it, however I have attempted several times, but I don't feel seriously enough else I'd not be here.
I get how it might sound simplistic. I guess I just wondered if some get stuck forever because of their personality. But again I know Im overcategorizing
Was it your attempts that made you think that you will not be able ever, if I may ask ?

No, even a breaking point requires some planning. I think those that do it when they've had the thoughts were able to get the means to do so. My failed attempts just tell me I haven't found the most accessible method for me yet.
