I know what you're saying. I always try to treat suicide (before it happens) as something that I refuse to feel bad about, because if I treat it as a selfish act that doesn't deserve pity, I would hope that deters it.
But in reality it's terribly sad, and I always feel horrible for people that go through so much that they resort to that. Even if they were overreacting or unable to handle something properly, it was real to them. I can't get around it.
