"Suicide involves both the inner disturbance and the idea of death as an escape. But it is simply good sense not to commit an irrevocable suicide during a transient perturbation in the mind. Suicide is not the thing to do when you are disturbed and your thinking is constricted. There is a short aphorism or maxim that captures this lifesaving truth: Never kill yourself while you are suicidal. You can, if you must, think about suicide as much as your mind wishes and let the thought of suicide - the possibility that you could do it - carry you through the dark night. Night after night. Day after Day, until the thought of the self-destruction runs its course, and a fresh view of your own frustrated needs comes into clearer focus in your mind and you can, at last, pursue the realistic aspects, however dire, of your natural life."

Edwin S. Shneidman
