Yes, this.

Honestly the thing that scared me off suicide the most was actually trying, so I can totally see the changing your mind mid-air. It chills my bones just to think about it, really. I didn't change my mind, but I could feel something very basic, primal reacting against it. Survival instinct is one hell of a thing.

It's always sort of tricky to tell suicidal people to just volunteer, because often they feel they can't really help themselves, let alone others. But, there are ways to turn destructive energy into something constructive once you can take a step back.

Yeah, it's very primal stuff. It's like a slow death, if only in our minds - the fall doesn't technically last long, but time stretches. Even if you don't change your mind, there's the anticipation to deal with.

I thought about saying more about volunteering, but cut back because I didn't want to assume about what kind of cause speaks to them. I know what you mean about how it sounds almost too easy, but I've been volunteering at a local animal shelter for over three years. It was something I kind of almost fell into doing, but even without being a deliberate thing it's been satisfying and helpful. It's just true that it can help you feel you're not useless, or like there's a net gain.
