Often when I have been very close to suicide myself I fantasize about getting a fast acting cancer that would do the job for me. Or a massive heart attack in my sleep.
It is the whole stigma thing as well that would tend to make me want a physical thing rather than a mental one.

Zinco, regarding addiction and depression, I believe there is a definite link. I'm 44 and sober for 3 years now. Funny, my depression didn't really begin to surface until I got fully sober. But near the end, the drinking had started to make me start to feel a depressed state unlike I had ever felt, so I knew then the drinking was over.
