While you may feel you're still more-or-less able to control your urges there is at least the possibility that, at some point, you could simply decide all-of-a-sudden that you've had enough & you're going to end it all right there-&-then. You may or may not succeed. If you do, you will leave behind a trail of tears that will echo down through the futures of many lives. If you don't, you'll likely create a lot of heartache & confusion to say nothing of the financial cost of hospitalization & recovery. So please reach out now, in real life, for the help you need.

By the way, if you're struggling with suicidal thoughts, why on earth are you watching TV programs that depict various methods of suicide?
I totally understand where you're coming from. My last suicide attempt was spur of the moment. I just couldn't take it anymore and snapped. Now I have a gigantic scar and family and friends that treat me like a child for the most part.

Seeing the aftermath of the most recent attempt (there have been others but they weren't as spectacular as this last one) I don't really trust myself anymore so if I start having intense suicidal thoughts I know that I need to seek help. I have suicidal thoughts almost everyday. But there's a difference for me between those thoughts and actually, truly wanting to hurt myself. Once planning is involved it's time for me to go to the hospital.
