Either way, when a person dies, they are missed by people. So one could come to the conclusion that ALL death is immoral. (I'm playing devil's advocate here to show a point)

Well from a consquentialist perspective, all other things being equal: When people are missed after they die, that causes suffering.

Trouble is, all things are never equal.

But, indeed, that is not exclusive to suicide.

Still, I'm glad that my attempt failed. I don't believe I was being immoral at all in any other sense besides the consequentialist one. Because, I was far too unwell to even think straight. And my self-esteem was so skewed that I genuinely believed that no one loved me and no one would ever miss me.
