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.
