"Right now, I don’t actively want to kill myself — I don’t have a plan, I don’t check the majority of the boxes on lists of warning signs of suicide, I have a life I enjoy and I’m curious about the future — but the fact remains, I don’t always feel strongly about being alive and sometimes, on particularly bad days, I truly want to die.
What we don’t know is how many people live in the nebulous gray space between fleeting thought and attempt — those dealing with passive, not active, suicidal ideation."
- Anna Borges, “I am not always very attached to being alive,” The Outline, April 2, 2019
