I would like to posit to you an additional cause for suicide - chronic unworkability. Some people whose lives never work out, whose lives are metered by failure, breakdowns, mishaps, accidents, illness, loss, loneliness. People who cannot make or keep friends, who cannot find love or who find love and loses it repeatedly. People whose lives suffer an incessant string of improbable setbacks in their careers, relationships, health. When something has a 95% chance to succeed, but fail due to a chain of improbable 5% events.
If you call it luck, it's aberrational luck. But it's not obvious, it's not like a circus elephant falling from the sky on your dog, it's when a complete stranger who serves everybody else in explicably forgets you, or your cellphone running dry when you really need to reach someone and you do not have their phone number written down anywhere. It's a numbers game, it's by degrees, but it's pervasive.
And people have no grip on why that happens. There is nothing in Religion that explains it except for Job, but this Job-like existence is filled with mundane mishaps. Most people don't know about unworkability, and have no way of communicating it to others in their lives. How do you explain to your siblings who have families and successful careers that nothing ever seems to work without getting the inevitable pep talk about taking responsibility, working hard, getting your act together, dropping bad habits or basically - look at me, I have everything, I worked for it, you don't because you're too lazy (or fill in the bad habit).
I know this from personal experience. From a probablistic point of view, my life is full of improbable mishaps and near misses, things tend to break down. I live with the pain, the dread of a life that has not worked out, and am starting into old age that offers very little to look forward to. But I recognize that my mishaps as aberrant, and plan for them. I spend a lot of time and energy proactively planning everything I do, and double-checking everything and too often finding a mishap waiting to spring had I not done so.
I had made a decision to not commit suicide, it also helps that though I think of it often, at core, I am not suicidal. But absolutely I understand it, and can only offer a partial relief that you can make your life at least marginally workable if you recognize the problem and what types of things typically go wrong beforehand. But I offer to you unworkability as a factor in people taking their lives.
