There is such a stigma attached with mental health issues. Too many people think that having one is a sign of weakness or being defective. I hope it changes someday soon and help is sought and offered to those that could use it.
There's also the stigma of being seen as crazy. I know a chick who went to a mental hospital because of being suicidal but a lot of the people at school heard " mental hospital " and went " oh she must be a paranoid schizophrenic who's planning our murders with her head mates " and yeah ... School was fun with that
I broke down to my mom on thanksgiving about my failed attempt to take my life last week & all she said was "wtf, I didn't raise you to be weak.we're not weak people"
I know the feel. I'm sorry you had to go throught that. When depression hit me about a year back, I tried suicide twice. I tried to tell my family, but they didn't listen. I fortunately had a really good friend who got me help. You should try going to a depression hotline, or even some websites are out there for suicidal people. I hope you feel better. :)
You are important. The pain that takes you to that decision is real and sometimes seems unbearable, but you are loved and the pain of suicide will hurt those people who love you forever. Life is worth living, seek help to find joy and happiness in the small things and face depression head on. Don't let it win. Please.
You're absolute trash and completely worthless like the rest of us. So don't worry about your depression, join the rest of the world in being completely not special.
The reason I say this is that lying is, for people like this, the ultimate insult. They're obviously done with the world and its shit and here you come along with honeyed words making them feel special when they know they're not. So instead of making them feel special (implying desirability), make them feel not left out. Not necessarily included, but not alone or an outcast because nothing you feel hasn't been felt by a whole bunch of others.

I hope she's at peace now. There is help everywhere for people who feel like this, stay strong and SEEK help! It's so very hard to do but once you do it you're so much closer to getting out of that dark hole. xx You are loved
ling your kid to get over whatever problem are they having is such an asshole thing to do, shouldn't you be there for them? shouldn't you be helping them cope with life? shouldn't you be there, supporting them through thick and thin? this is so fucked up, my parents do the same. whenever i go to them for help they tell me to get over it. once i told my mom i think i have depression and she was like "alright, i'll take you to the doctors, but there's a fair chance they'll put you in a mental hospital.. you might be crazy" and that's why i'm extremely afraid to get myself checked even though i know nothing like that will happen. my dad doesn't even try to understand how much shit is going down in my head every day every hour of the day. funny thing is when i told my mother i have been having suicidal thoughts numerous times a week she started to think that maybe she shouldn't be "joking around" and talk to me. my life is shit and i can't really do anything about it..
No, you don't. Suicide isn't bravery, it's being in a state where you feel like nothing is ever going to be or ever will be good again, you are empty and you feel as if this is the only way. Bravery is staying alive with this feeling, getting help for this feeling and recovering from that feeling. You're the brave one
So I have an alcohol slip that basically says how many drinks I can have before I die (or get effects of xyz abc). And it's 14 drinks in less than an hour to die.
I also think it's very dangerous when people mock people who talk about their mental health issues as "wanting attention". In some cases, yeah, some people will just do it for attention. But then in some other cases people actually have a problem, and them casually pointing out their mental health in conversations is the only way they can manage to talk about it. It's important to take claims of mental problems very seriously, wherever they come from.
Only time I'm really for sure about who's doing it for attention is when they do stuff like " if I get x amount of likes " or " x amount of followers I won't kill myself " and sometimes I even see people raise it

If you drag the razor along the circumference you're less likely to die because you'd have to saw through tendons to get to your major blood vessels but if you go down your arm you can slip the blade between them and get your artery(s).

I kinda feel like the mother's grief would be more of a knee-jerk reaction of sadness than grief that her daughter died. Kinda hard to word-ify my thought.
That happend a few exits up from where I was working it backed up traffic heavily. It's sad she did that so young and she hurt others who hit her and had to see it . Nothing good comes of suicide life's hard thats what makes life precious be strong and carry on
i hear the opposite side loud and clear. basically, to them, people who commit suicide have done nothing wrong and it's society's fault for not coddling them. sorry, but that's just fucking wrong. suicide is a stupid and selfish thing to do, and you guys know it.
As we all know, I like you and agree with you for the most part. And as usual, you're not entirely wrong. But the way people break when subjected to stress is vastly different across individuals and for some, it might be shutting down and for others it's suicide. So I think your problem isn't necessarily with suicide itself, it's the tendency to break towards suicide as opposed to another way.
hey i see what you're saying and i appreciate the gesture of trying to provide an unbiased response to this mess of a comment chain. And yeah, I guess I do for the most part agree with what you've said here, I think you've written this quite eloquently. I do admit I'm kinda a giant cunt when stating my opinions, and it's nice to have a more moderate guy take the time to sift through the BS and pick out the little truths that appear here and there. thank you
