Have your plans to not commit suicide been altered 180° in the last 6 years, or are you still opposed to the idea? See how that works, it’s not like picking your favourite flavour of chips or movie, is it?
Two people close to me have gone from “normal” to suicidal and back again in the last 6 years, for different reasons and at different times. Thankfully they are both stable and enjoying their lives now.
If you’ve not witnessed anything like that, count yourself lucky. I remember talking to people about suicide when I was younger and couldn’t understand how anyone could get to that place until I saw someone I know really well go through a complete mental breakdown.
It kind of blows my mind that suicide seemed so outlandish to you back then tbh. It’s always seemed like a reasonable and, in some unfortunate cases, necessary final escape plan to me. But maybe that’s a product of having not-so-great parents, depression, and growing up in sometimes middling/sometimes severe poverty?
I appreciate you saying so, but I’ve been doing relatively fine over here. Unless faced with a life of literal torture, I have no intention of leaving this world any time soon!
I can answer yes in both directions. It’s amazing the toll stress can have on your mental health, whether that stress be environmental factors or biochemical imbalances. In the right, or wrong, environment 6 years can completely change who you are.
This isn’t to say she committed suicide, I don’t know her and barely know of her, but your opinion is verifiably incorrect, and more likely to be incorrect for someone who has suffered significant trauma followed up by years of emotional abuse.
Just 4 years ago I was on the verge of doing it. Today while still having the recurrent though, I’m doing a lot better. And every single suicidal/depressive people is a different world, so yes, people can have 180° change in less than 6 years.
There is no single rule of thumb to apply here, as much as ignorance may lead you yo believe so.
I have had a day where I was sure I wanted to die and years where I didn’t. It’s possible for it to change in an instant. I don’t know any details of her situation, but just pointing out that that can change from moment to moment.

Yes it is a product of those things, if you’re thinking about it then please see someone and work out a path to better mental health.
We only get one life, it would be a tragedy to waste it!

Glad to hear it!

Im not currently in chronic extreme pain nor am I terminal, were that to change I might consider suicide.

Mine, no, but I definitely know people who went from very happy with their lives to deep depression in a shorter period then that.
That doesn’t necessarily equal suicidal tendencies in all cases but there’s certainly common ground been the two.
Jeez, I just suggested that it’s possible.
