Have you ever considered suicide? What is so important to you that without it life would not be worth living?

No. I have never considered suicide. I can’t imagine ever getting to the point where I would want to take my own life. I understand that there are those who have been in such extreme pain that they’ve wished for death, but I don’t consider that the same as being suicidal. Even if I was so miserable that I was wishing for death, I couldn’t take my own life. I couldn’t even ask someone to take my life for me. I just couldn’t.
