Do people that commit suicide know who they hurt when they commit suicide?

In: Suicide Warning Signs, Statistics, and Prevention [Edit categories]

Answer:

In my experience, yes they do -- clearly. Sometimes, the pain caused is intentional; other times in spite of the survivors. I'd say that most suicides are very clear about who will be hurt in the aftermath.

Another Answer:

I would say yes also. But the vast majority have pain worse than the pain they feel for hurting others. Suicide is about them and how they feel and it's not that they don't care that they hurt people, it's that they have such strong emotions going on in their heads.
