hai hai!
on my bike ride home from school today i was feeling down. i just finished a sad movie about what it was like in Jamestown in 1606 and it talked too much about death.i found that that triggered me. As i was getting to the street crossing, i didnt stop. My mind was racing and i was thinking i should ride bolindly into traffic. i only stopped at the last second, slamming my brakes and my foot, barely avoiding a van. I dont know if this was an attempt at suicide that failed. was it? and should i tell my councelor about it?

i hav talked to my councelor and now i hav permission to leave the class if im triggered or find something triggering. to me i call this an imoulsive suicide attempt that i was able to stop suffering minimal damage compared to what would hav happened. i injured my shoulder trying to stop but bettr than being dead! i never thought anything else as i was about to. not about family, friends, life and everything else. it was a relief but in a bad way. i hope i never do that again

Technically it wasn't a full on suicide attempt, just a suicidal tendency. Same as if you drive your car over the speed limit for no reason (not even to have fun).
But good you talked to your counselor. And yes, Jamestown is terribly depressing and morbid.
