So to start I've never considered myself as someone who attempted suicide and I am still not sure if I did. Few weeks ago I started cutting myself, then drank alcohol and I got to the stage where I really wanted to cut my veins. I've tried cutting myself on my wrist but I couldn't make myself go deeper even tho I really wanted to with the intention to kill myself. The next day I woke up with severly damaged top of my arm and some small cuts on my wrist. Since then I'm thinking if that's a attempt? I already did this multiple times and never succeeded nor did I tell anyone including my psychologist and psychiatrist. The reason I thought about it the last time was that I made a deal with my psychologist to have a crisis plan if I feel like its an emergency and when I was cutting I seriously considered calling one of those lines or an ER as it was written in my crisis plan by my psychologist. I still don't consider the stuff that I did as an attempt so I want to ask you guys.
My question is, what is an attempt, do you have to be hospitalize for it to be considered an attempt? Do you have to plan it before hand? Do you have to do something that's possibly fatal but failing it? Also feel free to share your experiences and if you fell it was an attempt or not.
