It's a simple question really; is it possible to want to die without being crazy/depressed/ill?
People always assume that you have to be mad in order to actually want to die, but I'm a bit torn on this issue. Suicide is always used as a way to get out of a shitty situation; you just lost your job, wife left you, only family died and so on. No one commits suicide because they want to die. They want to escape. Due to various conditions, they (wrongly or rightly) consider suicide their best option. And in my opinion, you can be in this state without being mentally unstable. That it is a rational choice.
On the other side, you got people who can't distinguish reality from fantasy when they get in such pressured situations, who don't really think about anything other than that they need to get out *now*.
ps: If anyone wondered; I'm ok. It's just that I'm sometimes thinking about these kinds of things, but haven't got anyone to talk about it with. Sorry if I startled you
