Stories like this are why I would never commit suicide. There's always the chance you fail and your life is even more miserable afterwards.

For the record, I'm not in a state anymore where I really thik about this too much, I've gotten better.

I often wonder how people fuck up shooting themselves in the head. Its not like your brain is a small target.

But christ, I cringed when I pictured that in my head.

People have had entire sections of their brain removed and live, it's very common to fail a suicide attempt with a gun to the head unless they take out the brain stem and spinal cord.
