Does it take courage or cowardice to commit suicide?

I'm addressing this solely from the mental illness angle.

Meh, I don't know what it takes. I couldn't pull the trigger when push came to shove, I know that much. Personally, whatever I locked in that regard, I think it takes a lot of courage to face whatever the blackness is that has led to suicidal behavior and put the hard work in needed to recover.
