Maybe you have been but don't know it :) As this person said, sometimes it's something as small as noticing and speaking to someone and asking someone if they're ok.
Another wonderful thing I learned is that people (some with repeated prior attempts) who had a suicide attempt interrupted by a "helper" (ie, not medical personnel, etc) were WAY less likely to ever attempt it again.
Sorry for the vagueness of "way less," but it was years ago when I was reading a lot about this stuff, but it was some miniscule percentage that ever attempted again after a person stopped them in or just before the act.

I hope I can be that person to someone in their time of need, so glad you found a way off of Xanax!!
