Do you suffer from severe depression and have access to weapons?

Suicidal tendencies and suicidal symptoms are two very different things. Depression is a disease which most of us know who have had it and/or live with it.. We look (even when depressed) for ways to treat the depression, not end it permanently. I've always had weapons in the home and never once did I ever think to use one, always went for a knife instead. Really there are many weapons of death in ones home other than guns, like knives, gl, water, poisons etc. you get my drift, and for many having a gun in the home is like having any other piece of furniture or utensil or cleaning supplies. Picking up the phone & asking for help takes far more less energy than planning to shoot oneself, and most people do just that...... I am wondering how many people think in these terms that have other diseases/illnesses. Maybe they also do, periodically. A diabetic wouldn't think to kill themselves anymore than we should.
