Also: one might consider the consequences. The harm to others that results from such a decision.
May I reccomend a book "The Myth of Sysiphus" (I don't know how to spell that last word) by Albert Camus (you will probably need an English translation from the French). He talks about whether we are morally obliged to kill ourself and concludes that it is better for one to live in a spirit of defiance.
If it is indeed a 'rational' decision you have made I hope you are open to attempts to rationally persuade you otherwise ;-)
