""Suicide is not chosen; it happens when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain."

This is ONE reason for suicide of many. It IS chosen by people for various reasons. It does not just 'happen'.

I can appeciate the essay and I'm glad it helped.

"When pain exceeds pain-coping resources, suicidal feelings are the result."

For many, it is when mental resources and reasoning once again exceed the pain at a later stage of thinking in the illness.

I have always wondered about the correlation between IQ and depression. Most everyone I know with depression is either very bright and/or very creative.
