You have to be conscious enough to leap the correct direction (outward, not backward, otherwise you'll bang wall or roll down staircase instead and ended up with broken limbs or bahlukku). And because you have to be conscious to jump, that's why it's scary... :P If there's nothing to live for, then what is there to die for? If it's meaningless to live, then what's the meaning behind dying? Standing on the parapet wall is really very scary.

If it’s meaningless to live, then what’s the meaning behind dying?

You mentioned coping mechanisms, and they come in many forms. If not close friends or family, then therapists and drugs. You don't have a choice who you fall in love with, but you definitely have a choice in how you deal with it. anon: exactly, it's all about balance. Love is *one* part of life, not all of it. ronnie: I beg to differ – suicide is a choice. You mentioned coping mechanisms, and they come in many forms.

Suicide is neither wrong nor right; it is not a defect of character; it is morally neutral. It is simply an imbalance of pain versus coping your ability to cope. What might be bearable to someone else, may not be bearable to you. Suicide IS NOT A CHOICE. similar to BEING ATTRACTED to someone IS NOT A CHOICE, except suicide is in the context of one's life & death. Suicide is not choice; it happens
