Call of the Void

*This is for a school project. This post is not intended to self diagnose. Please seek a medical professional for additional information outside of this post.*

Call of the Void is when signals in the mind get crossed, instead of avoiding something that would essential kill us; it becomes tempting, like the luring call of a Siren into a deadly trap. One example of the phenomenon; A gentlemen takes the train to work on a daily basis. While waiting for the train he will start to fantasize about jumping in front of the train as it is pulling in. Or electrifying himself on the track. Ultimately the individual doesn't follow through with these thoughts. Some individuals gain a brighter outlook on life, helping them come to terms with their own mortality. For my class project I am forming a survey. If you would like to participate please message me answering the following questions:

1. Have you experienced this before?
2. What is gender?
3. How old are you?
4. When did it first start?
5. Does it still occur?
6. What are you doing when it happens?
