I've even gone so far as to consider it "selfless" in that, from what I've heard from people in the mental health field and with folks that have considered suicide, in *their* minds much of the time, they consider themselves a burden to their loved ones and believe that relieving their loved ones from that burden they'd be doing them a favor.

Obviously none of that is true in reality / to their loved ones, in most cases, but in the suicidal person's mind it is *very* real.
