This post convinced me to end my life

Edit: not in like a noble way, I think I'll try to traumatize aa many small children as possible while I'm at it

The other people instinctively want to save him because of kin selection. What you see in this picture is evolution at work.

Yet we value life above all else. If people reach that point, where living holds no worth, we as a society have failed them.

We should make dying in battle a good thing again. The wrong kind of peace is a blight upon society.

Yepo. I was on a 72hr hold after a manic episode caused by a med interaction (Wellbutrin, took away the mild depression but let the massive anxiety run wild) and it was the worst fucking experience of my life. Literally just stick you in a program that doesn't give a fuck about why your there, just headcount they can bill for. I was perfectly fine like 2hrs after I got locked in and spent the remaining 70hrs climbing the walls.

0/10 Do not recommend. And this was in Massachusetts, a place wildly known for good healthcare.

American detected.

i always thought (and pretty sure this is the case in most places) that suicide was technically a crime to give police an excuse to bust in to stop an attempt if needed. not to put people in fucking jail for failing to go through with it.

but then again the us would like any excuse to incarcerate people so who knows.

This is why I never told anyone when I held a gun to my head. I was afraid it would ruin my life after I didn't do it.

No no, you don't get it. You have to suicide the slow American way with cancer and heart disease. Pick your favorite form of socially acceptable self mutilation today!

Lemmy do be like that.

No you dumbass they are going to be sent to get help.

Nearly everyone that attempts suicide and survives regrets trying and are glad they've failed.

Sorry for my strong language, but I've had friends and loved ones struggle with mental illness. A few have attempted suicide and either failed or have been stopped. I once took a friend's gun the day before he tried to commit suicide. If I had not done that he would be dead today, but today he is happy. He has a life worth living and is doing infinitely better.

Suicide attempts are a mental health crisis. In that moment that person is not of a sound mind and incapable of making that decision.

This is nothing like going to a doctor and seeking a medical procedure like an abortion. If anything this is like a woman throwing herself down the stairs in an attempt to end a pregnancy. They don't need to be allowed to throw themselves down the stairs. They need to be stopped and given access to proper medical care.

There's a chance someone else in that crowd understood and began taking daily time to interact with the man. It's not impossible.

Depression, but a lot of time finance is the root cause of depression.

Mental illness. Not saying suicide is a mental disorder or you need an mental disorder to be suicidal. Its mostly the stigma of both mental illness and suicide.

Sometimes being trapped with your own mind can be hell

Nope. It's a bad prescient. Society would be a worse place if life had no inherent value.
