"Clinical psychologist Edwin S. Shneidman, a founder of the field of suicidology, wrote “One curious paradox in suicide is that individuals do leave clues—perhaps as part of their deepest ambivalence between the need to stop the pain and the concomitant wish for intervention and rescue.” Part of wanting to be lost may be hoping to be found; part of the need to abandon oneself may be a longing for rescue."
