You also need to understand what is behind that number. Men are more likely to use methods such as shooting themselves over women who would use a less gory method such as O.D.ing on pills. The men are more likely to die from their methods that they use. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3539603/
So um, this is topical considering less than an hour ago I tried to kill myself. I didn't think anyone cared but a friend drove his ass to mine to save me and I'm so fucking grateful
Don't let society dictate how you should act. If you need help, you need help, and your sex should not be a reason for people to tell you to stop. I just want you all to be safe and happy, and every little step to take care of yourself matters- no matter who you are.
I totally agree about whats been said. I used to be just like that honestly. Its the worst feeling in the world that everything starts to eat at you from the inside.
What if we just want to die. I have depression and anxiety but that's not why I have suicide ideation problems. I'm tired of living. I'm basically alive so I don't hurt other people's lives at this point. I have no aspirations for a better life because even if my situation was better I'd still be tired of living. Suicide isn't always because of a manic episode. Often people have just wanted to because living is tiring and annoying. Not existing is so much easier. My life isn't bad, I'm not constantly sad, but I near constantly want to stop existing. If there was a way to do it without affecting other people I would have done it long ago.
If you actually wanted to help me you'd kill me. I don't want to be "better"; to be brainwashed into thinking I don't hate existing by pushing it down like I used to. Some people aren't sad and want to die, some are angry that they have to exist because other people are worried and they care too much about others.
I don't want to brainwash you
I don't want to force you to do anything
I want to help. I want to be there. I want to make life not as bad as it has been. I want to share the load. I want to protect people from the terrible things in life.
I want you to be happy.
Generally speaking, I support the sentiment that life is a right, and that you can do with it as you wish. However, to bluntly insinuate that some people /deserve/ to die? Or that they are not made for life, and therefore are better in death?
This world has /far/ more to offer than a small town. Or a city block. Or even a nation. The issue is that some people fall so hard they cannot see a possibility, when in fact others can help them find what they need. Every life deserves help. Every person deserves their own mercy. But you should never say that people who can't deal with life /at the current moment/ should die because they can't handle it.
Listen. I agree with the first guest. If it wouldn't affect other people I'd be dead already. I'm not afraid I'm going to kill myself, I wish I could. Life's not for me. If you really stop and think it's selfish to force someone to live a life they don't want because it would "make you sad" if they didn't. If it's ok to abort a baby because it wouldn't have a good life when it's born but a grown adult can't decide to do it themself?
I never said Life was for you. But your death isn't for Me. Im being selfish here. Don't die BECAUSE I SAY SO. Don't you DARE die because I CAN'T handle that.

But you. I don’t like you.
Shut. Up.
