Getting to that state psychologically has to be so intense that no one who's gonna tell you you're a coward is gonna understand it. If a person can't handle life, you can't just tell them they're a coward. It doesn't cover the depth of their problems.
Self preservation is so ingrained into our DNA so to go against that suggests a huge problem.

To be a callous **** and comment on this I would say that 90% of suicide attempts are cries for help and ultimately selfish (as well as being unsuccessful).

Unless it is the most disturbing life one person has been through, suicide is a cowards way out and even then someone, somewhere is out there to reach out a hand.
