Me thinks that a subconscious desire not to die is the reason to advertise it.
I am genuinely curious about whether or not you read all the sentences I communicated with, not just the one that you attempted to apply snark to. However, I do love snarky banter.
".....subconscious desire not to die is the reason to advertise it." The desire COMES from the subconscious, if you're alluding to the uncontrollable variety, because you cannot have a "subconscious desire not to die". You can, however, have a desire to live, and if you do, then, as I asked in my original, "who are you taking the life of?". Since you work in this arena, I'm sure you'll consider the fact that when someone says that they want to blow their brains out isn't always in pain, nor a "dark place". "Pain is the touchstone of growth"
