I wanted to kill myself, and I didn't want to live, so having lived both sides of that coin, I can categorically say it doesn't really matter what the difference is. It's not a place anyone ought to be. My advice: get help. I

I've noticed the same trend. IT/tech workers are not known for their balanced work lives (eating healthy, exercise, not working too much).
