In my exploration of the suicidal mind I have found that whilst in a state of despair the mind finds general domestic objects threatening and gives rise to the idea that everything is potentially a weapon for killing oneself. The mind may constantly think about suicide and death but this is underlying and sometimes manifests itself in an impulse to act on these feelings, this is when these objects can become a danger to that individual.
