The craziest thing I've discovered from my own troubles with depression and suicide and self-harm is that it's never really goes away. It's like an addiction and, if you have a chronic problem and an addictive personality(like I do), it's very, very hard to stay away from. Even if I find myself feeling better, doing well, I still eye some of the things I used to do and wonder if it would still work, if I could still get away with it, if it would still help, etc. even though I know it's not a good idea, that it's not safe.
So, I'm never surprised to hear that someone relapsed, as it were. Just incredibly sad. :(
Yeah, it's like I know that all academically from reading about it, but it punched me in the gut anyway. I guess it never really entered my mind as something that'll happen to people I know, even if only peripherally.
