suicidal people deserve a space to talk about their suicidal feelings without risking hospitalization/institutionalization or being accused of being manipulative or attention seeking

It’s a therapist. The word you’re looking for is a therapist.

wrong

UM NO???? Stop. Stop it right now. Seriously. You probably don’t even realize what you’re doing but like what if a suicidal 15 year old sees this and decides NOT to seek help? And instead is like YEAH we SHOULD have those spaces and then DOES NOT SEEK HELP AND KILLS THEMSELVES??? You do not realize the implications this could have on someone who is in a very fragile place.

I have depression, I’ve been suicidal – you NEED to speak to a therapist. You NEED professional medical attention – there is no herbal bullshit or physically active thing you can do that makes it go away. Sure, talking about it makes it easier, but it can also cause you to dwell on it. I’ve told my therapist that I’ve had suicidal thoughts and she was like “okay, let’s get you on some medication immediately.” Like???? She didn’t call 911 and send me to the hospital because I WAS ALREADY SEEKING HELP AND KNEW I NEEDED ATTENTION.

And I go to therapy. I haven’t met a therapist that was like “oh you want attention.” And said it was a BAD THING. BUT UM HELLO. If you are attempting suicide, a part of you IS seeking attention and there’s nothing wrong with that???? AT ALL??? It’s okay to want attention, humans are social creatures???? You can want attention, you can want to be noticed. You have a RIGHT to be loved – YOU DESERVE TO BE LOVED AND CARED FOR. You deserve attention and care from other human beings – anyone who tries to tell you that it’s WRONG to want affection and companionship can go shove barbed wire up their asshole.

I’ve been there. I grew up thinking I was eventually going to commit suicide – I grew up thinking I wouldn’t be alive past 20. I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET BETTER. Having a place where depressed people could talk about how they’re suicidal could make things worse. They could encourage each other, make pacts, share ideas on how and so on. There’s already proof of these kinds of groups online. Most importantly these people are coming from a negative place and while it may be nice to have someone to talk to that knows how you feel, you still need PROFESSIONAL ATTENTION. Group therapy is a thing and it actually helps people a lot – I haven’t personally done it but there are a TON of studies that prove that they work.

If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts you need to talk to someone IMMEDIATELY. You think you know what’s best for yourself or you don’t want your friends to be upset at you, but your life is so much more important than what people are going to say or what they think . You do know what’s best for you, but you do NOT if you are thinking about killing or harming yourself in ANY way.

If you are honestly having suicidal thoughts PLEASE go to the nearest urgent care or call 911 do NOT listen to posts like this that try to downplay suicide into a thing that people can just make it into a club like no??? No!!!!! Seek professional help or go to a guidance counselor, a freaking minute clinic at CVS idgaf – GO. Just go get help and for the love of all that is holy, DO NOT think it’s bad to want attention or someone to talk to. If someone judges you then fuck them – you’ll find someone who won’t. There’s 7 billion people on this planet and I guarantee you that there’s a decent one willing help you within your area.
