The only thing I can refute myself with is the probably fact that one day I will be happy and well balanced. But really, that isn't logic is it?
(Disclaimer: I'm not severely suicidal, just someone with some tendencies that come and go and am trying to logically refute my self.)
Sure it's logical. I know personally that life is a series of fluctuations between emotions. Sometimes during an extended down I find it helpful to realise that up has an equal chance of occurring. I find it hard to believe but still, the hope is rational. Without hope humans are lost. There's always the chance to change. I heard a great woman speak on the penal system in the UK and give this reason that punishment should never be final.
