I'm aware of how painful and tragic a suicide can be to the family. Earlier, I had wanted to "fall" off a high waterfall or cliff. I am adventurous and love the outdoors - and people know that about me - so suicide would not have been suspected. The problem was I don't have the right geography near me, nor do I have a car to drive elsewhere. I couldn't think of anything else that would look like a true accident.

Your paragraph above truly concerns me.

Did you get rid of the gun?

P.S.

Here's my metaphor: Imagine you are in a house that is so dark that you can't even see the other side of the room. Everything is so incredibly dark and all you want is to get out of it. You are searching and searching for a way out for so long. Finally you find a door (suicide) - the only way out that you can actually find. You know it is a bad thing to do but you are just so tired that eventually you give up and you open that door (attempt suicide), only to find a brick wall behind that door. Now what? Now you are stuck there, in that lonely, dark place, with no way out.

Suicide isn't the only way out. You're overthinking in retrospect.
There are lifelines. Suicide isn't a door. It's a reaction.
The fact you got through this/these terrible, terrible feelings is a testament to your strength.
