Nicely said, bruce.
I've seen the serious, the cry for helps, and the attention seekers. I've also seen the accidentally or drunkenly stupid.
If there's a variation, I've probably dealt with at least one. Jumpers, cutters, drunkards, auto-exhausters, air-shooters, overdoses, shotguns, pistols, rifles, folks who decide to try to find out if humans are combustable, layers-down on train tracks (the guy who totally fucked himself up by not doing that one quite right was a piece of work ... has one remaining arm and half his large and small intestines).
Where the heck was I going with this?? Oh, yeah. There's no one way to think about suicide, no one way to think about suicidal people. Or to respond to them.
The reality is if they are gonna do it, they'll do it. The danger of that, of course, is they might die trying.
Even if they don't really want to.
