Did you ever consider using the threat of suicide to express your anger at someone else?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) January 11th, 2010

I’m not sure how to ask this, since it is such a touchy subject. But people who are thinking of suicide are not in a very good frame of mind. They are deeply depressed, for whatever reason, and desperate to get out of the pain. Under such circumstances, it might be easier to think of using suicide as a way of expressing anger. Especially if that anger had been repressed for a long time.

Anyway, did you? What were you thinking at the time? What made it possible for you to issue such a threat? Did you believe you would follow through? What was the response to this threat?
