Having dealt with a fair amount of suicidal people, it's almost always a result of temporary emotional instability that pushes them to actually wanna go through with it. I'm very much against making any long term decision when you're thoughts are compromised. It's much rarer for people to calmly reason that it's their best choice. Additionally, a lot of people don't really want to die, they just want some form of suffering to stop and see death as the only way because their thoughts have warped their perception of probability (ie: I can never be happy, I'll never be good enough, things will ALWAYS get worse, nothing will ever feel worth it again).

I'm not really sure why but a lot of people place WAY too much faith in their own emotions and the way things feel at the moment. They trust all their own thoughts for some reason.
This is a great way to put it. Although I've been in very depressed states for upwards of a year or two, I still somehow had the ability to emotionally detach myself and look at it somewhat rationally. I have lived with someone (white male, mid 20s) who would cry, yell, and threaten that 'tonight is the night'. That was really fucked to experience. I also think it's really nuts that people can't say "I can see this isn't the best time to be having this discussion, can we leave it until tomorrow?" when emotions are running high. But at the same time, I fully understand it...most people want the/a confrontation to happen immediately.
