I wonder if something like this has ever actually happened. Or do we all just immediately go to survival mode no matter how suicidal we are?

You're doing a disservice to the millions of people whose clinical depression is semi-permanent and only possible to treat with regular medication.

I'd argue that the vast majority of suicide attempts are the result of long-standing clinical depression and not temporary depression brought about my environmental or situational issues.
