This is a horrible thing to discuss, and even though I have been through periods in the past when I have briefly considered the idea of suicide, it was never really a serious consideration. I've had a cousin that I was very close to overdose on sleeping pills and I had a really good freind shoot himself when he came home from college for a weekend. And even though I had briefly entertained the thought myself, I still cannot understand why someone would actually go through with it. My cousin had some emotional problems that she in therapy for, but my friend was a total shock. I still see his mom on occasion and it is very hard to talk to her, as I'm sure it is very diffcult for her since she is probably reminded of her son everytime she sees me.
