Hello. Recently, I have been doing research about suicide, so I wish to find some books that focus on the experiences of people who successfully commit suicide. For example, a book that talks about the experience of a suicidal student and analyzes what contributes to his or her suicide will be good. Both Fiction and Non-fiction are welcome!
​
Thanks in advance!

Fiction or Non-Fiction?
Also, are you ok? I used to research this topic, even did a project on it for a sociology or psychology class, many years ago. But it was of interest because it was on my mind in unhealthy ways. If you aren’t ok, I highly recommend discussing it with a therapist or even your regular physician.
