This is a great thread. I was active on the site in the days before and after my latest attempt and I felt that I couldn’t say a word so I didn’t. There is such a stigma around it that I feel vulnerable and will probably delete this post.
I do now have a detailed prevention plan as well as a hope box.

HI Jennifer,
You are very courageous to post your experiences here.
I am so glad you have survived and are okay.
I do think many attempts are impulsive.
I am soooo sorry you'd felt you could not share about this and were left all alone to cope with all that was going on for you.
I certainly wish I could have been present for you during that time.
I am available to you anytime, whatever is going on, no judgment, ever.
I love you!
