Some psychologists say that suffering is a necessary component, but not the only one. Also important are a feeling of being burdensome to others, and overcomming the natural instinct to not harm oneself. Many people who die by suicide wrongly believe that the world would be better without them. This not only feeds the suffering, but also puts them in a position to overcome the natural instincts against self harm. These instincts are also why repeated suicide attempts or access to more lethal methods of suicide increase the risk. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpersonal_theory_of_suicide https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpersonal_theory_of_suic...
