the mind that is.
Take suicidal thoughts for instance. You want to commit suicide, its not an attention getting thing, its just cos life is pointless.
But then, your mind tells you to call the Samaritans, the mental health crisis centre. But if you phone them you will most likely be talked out of it. But you dont want to be talked out of it because it makes sense and its really what you want.
So the fight NOT to call them takes over the fight to do it and when you have resolved the not to call battle, you are too damned knackered to do it now anyway and just wanna sleep. WTF!!!!!

sounds about right to me 
In my experience, suicide is a quest to end the emotional and physical pain one is suffering. Folks really don't want to kill themselves, just the pain. xxx
