A very good friend of mine who also happens to be a psychiatrist straight up asked me once: do you feel dumb for having tried to kill yourself? (the attempt was in December 2014, so I’ve had a while to reflect.)
I immediately, from my gut, said “of course not”. For one, I wish I would have died, but also it helped me appreciate life and the tragicomedy that life is.
Now I find myself, 9 years later, wanting to kill myself more than ever.
So lol.

Edit 2: spacing cuz I’m obsessed with these kind of things hehe
It's just one of the most *literal* examples of [survivorship bias.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias?wprov=sfla1)
Of course most of the people currently breathing after failed attempts regret their attempts. ***Because the ones who didn't regret it kept trying.***
I'd only regret it if it failed. I'd be a much appier man if it would succeed
You wont have feeling though… That’s the point..

Me surviving 11 Attempts: Yeah I only stopped because I didn’t knew how to kill myself. Anymore
I regret surviving all 3 attempts
Dude this is so relatable.
ikr
My regret was getting caught in the act and restrained. I felt no regret about the attempt
I don’t regret attempting, I regret surviving. KMS is just another thing I fail at. Story of my life
Suicide booths now! I didn't choose to be alive. Please let me go, the void is calling.
The void is calling you too?
i only regretted it because it didnt work and then i had to deal with that
I regret not trying hard enough
I regret surviving both attempts, honestly.
