1) My grandfather killed himself long enough ago that I have no memory of him, he did it while I was still very young. (And I know the reasons why his mind was unstable enough to consider suicide as an option)
2) I had a friend who commited suicide several years back (And I know the PROBABLE reason why he did it, though I can never be 100% sure of the truth).
3) I can't afford to go around thinking I'm invincible, otherwise I'll never survive. If I don't keep an eye on my reality and my state of mind, I won't be able to fight those suicidal urges. I've been successful for a very long time (and have even gotten it to the point where I might think about maybe once every two weeks or more, instead of daily), and I'd just as soon keep my successful streak going for a very long time (I don't want my future grandkids to have no memory of one of their grandfathers like I do)
