When
somebody consistently and repeatedly has suicidal thoughts, but hasn't
seriously considered it and planned out a comprehensive course of action. Like
almost all medical problems, early treatment is extremely important.
borderline-suicidal Person: I lost my job and my
wife is considering divorce.... maybe I should just put one right in my head...
(Next day) Gotta drive to the unemployment office...maybe I should just lock the
door and drive into a lake...
Similar thoughts repeat frequently
Suicidal person: My family was murdered and I'm being framed for it....I'll go get my
gun and end it right here. I'
d better do it over the bridge so there's no mess. Just in case my life insurance pays out, I'll write a
will to have it all donated to charity...
