I’ve written about this before, and I think it’s really important to accept the reality that some people feel regret about not dying rather than regret about the attempt itself. She explains that she wished she’d succeeded because everything that caused her to hate herself before the attempt hadn’t gone away.

She provided detailed descriptions of multiple suicide attempts. The first section of the book is focused on the author’s personal experiences. The book contains information gleaned from interviews with quite a number of experts in fields relating to the topic. Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me by journalist Anna Mehler Paperny is both a story of her own experiences of suicidality and an in-depth journalistic exploration of depression and suicide.
