Thankfully, I have grown out of that even though from time to time the thoughts still creep in but I am able to dismiss them.
You have to understand that with people with the suicidal ideation when that trigger goes off in their mind, they aren't thinking rationally or logically.

Glad you're still with us, man. That's my biggest fear is my brain betrays me. My body isn't worth a shit, so my brain needs to be.
