Copper..so sorry I have not checked my post until now. I do not know where to find any information on "Emotional Suicide". It was part of my counseling or therapy on that particular day and the whole therapy session was horrendous, not because of the psychiatrist but because of me. I battled him the entire time and only after it was over can I now look back and realize that I did retain some portion of it and that it was good for me.
OP I am sorry if I misread your intent of this thread...good for you that you are able to handle these feelings. Some are stronger than others, I always thought myself one of the strong ones....but I did end up needing the help after all.
For any who have posted here that has had thoughts of suicide please seek the help that will see you through these times...you are special. Never think the world has nothing to offer you or that you have nothing to offer the world....Life is worth celebrating...so lets have a party!

I don't think I could ever commit suicide because I know what it does to the ones left behind. My husband took his life October 9, 2007 and this last 11 months have been tough but I am hanging in there. I go to a grief support group for survivors of suicide and that has really helped me. Also, I took part in an Out of Darkness Walk the last Saturday of September. That was very hard, but helped me some in my healing. For those of you that don't know, The Out of Darkness Walk is a walk, similar to the relay for life, that is to raise money to try to help prevent suicide by making people aware of the warning signs. My husband had a lot of the warning signs, but I didn't know at that time what the signs were.
Death by suicide does leave a lot of unanswered questions, but as one of the post earlier said when someone gets to that point in their life they don't think about what it will do to anyone else. They just see it as an escape from whatever is bothering them, in my husband's case it was constant pain.
If anyone needs or wants to talk to someone, email me.
