For me, it's about when your whole being has been taken over with no solutions in sight. Being treatment resistant has brought me to this point several times.

I wonder about the terror that went thru those worker's minds on 911 when they chose to jump from the building. It happened too fast to be contemplative.

And our family has just experienced this in my 13 yr old niece. She has been bullied and has turned to the notion of hurting herself for some reason.
