Hello Pflaumenkeks: The Skeezyks has often remarked, in the past, that he fluctuates between two states: simple resignation & "I just can't stand this another minute!" The latter state has resulted in his involuntary commitment to two different hospital psych wards. Yes, I think it is pretty-much generally recognized that people who are depressed can sometimes be less at risk in terms of suicide potential. It is when a person is coming out of a depression that s/he is more at risk. They still carry with them all of the darkness of their depression, & now as they're coming out of it they have the energy to do something about it.

Personally, I think that the mental health professionals I've seen assumed my attempts were the result of depression. And, I suppose, depending on how broadly one defines "depression" perhaps this could be said to be true. However, from my perspective, I was not so much depressed as I was angry... I was pissed (mostly at myself)... & ready, willing & able to at least try to do something about it. I'd have probably been safer had I been more traditionally depressed.

Anyway, I hope that you will be able to find a way to heal the darkness that surrounds you. I send you my best wishes with the hope that it might be so...
