REALLY comes across as just attention seeking to me, when these people stand on bridges waiting to be talked down and such.

I know someone who's brother committed suicide by jumping off a bridge, and although I don't understand it either, I don't think it's attention seeking. He hadn't sought any kind of help before doing it, he hadn't shared any of his problems with anyone, I think if it was just attention seeking he'd have done things like that, and he wouldn't have actually jumped. I don't know why he did it though, or what he was going through.
