I have been there a lot. I've thought about it, talked to my therapist about it.
The scariest thing was telling my wife i had those thoughts.
I didn't want to have them and I think I was looking for some comfort and reassurance I was love and that things would be ok. The last thing in the world I wanted to feel is rejection. At the time, in that moment I just wanted someone to love me more than I was capable of during that period of time.
I came out of it and got some therapy. It helps. Having support helps a lot.

So I guess if you are talking suicidally then people do distance themselves, which is very sad. It also didn't help for people to just tell me to go to the ER of the hospital. You sound like someone who has been there, and knows how to pass on some good advice. I know your comments were directed at the OP but I just wanted to thank you because it benefited me to read your post.
