I'm going to be INCREDIBLY open here, more open than I usually am. I've attempted suicide four times, and am currently undergoing treatment and medication for depression. Each and every time I attempted my own life (first and third times by hanging myself, second time with an OD and the fourth and final time by trying to throw myself down a stairwell) I felt trapped, like I had no option than to do what I was doing.
With me it was a combination of stress, undignosed depression, events prior to the actual attempts and some other factors, like the first attempt in which I was sure I wouldn't be disturbed by anyone because my family were out shopping.
Problem with something like the issue of suicide is that it's HUGELY personal to each person who attempts it, and depression is also equally personal.
