I have this weird problem where I cant get over a failed suicide attempt I had. I really cant understand why I cant just get over it especially. I feel like if Im so upset at the attempt failing then surely I should just kill myself, but I dont want to kill myself. So if I dont want to kill myself then why am I so upset and angry that I didnt die? Its not even my only attempt. I had previous ones but I don't feel the same about them, its just that one that I cant get over. I generally don't think about it but when I do its so overwhelming I cant stand it.
I really don't what to do about it because it doesn't make sense to me. Is normal to feel like this?

I had two failed (one aborted) suicide attempts and had very mixed feelings. When I get depressed, I wish I had died. When I feel less depressed, I feel guilty for the fear my husband and daughter felt.

When I'm in a bad place, like Emmanuel, I sorely regret not bring more deliberate about my suicide attempts, so that they would have worked.
What was different about the one you are still holding on to? Did it make you feel inadequate, guilt, ashamed? Something else?
