Vs. starvation/suicide

"When he knew what he had become, he rebelled against it. He tried to destroy himself. But that's not easily done."
	"How?" She gasped.
	I kept my eyes on the evocative emptiness of the paintings as I described Carlisle's suicide attempts.
	"He jumped from great heights. He tried to drown himself in the ocean...but he was young to the new life, and very strong. It is amazing that he was able to resist...feeding"- I glanced quickly at her but she was staring at the painting-"While he was still so new. The instinct is more powerful then, it takes over everything. But he was so repelled by himself that he had the strength to try to kill himself with starvation."
	"Is that possible?" She whispered.
	"No, there are very few ways we can be killed."
	She opened her mouth to ask the most obvious follow up, but I spoke quickly to distract her.
