I called no one and told no one and just let it bottle up. Totally a cheaper option but I wouldn’t recommend that either.
I tried the same technique and then ended up trying to kill myself using all the pills, but that just made me sick and throw up followed by tremors for a few weeks. I was twice a failure.
After a few more failed attempts and visits with bad therapists, I finally found professionals and medication that worked for me and I’ve been suicide-attempt-free for 13 years now! And the past 6 years have seen significantly more good days than bad.
You win this round, modern medicine…
Great, telling people to commit a suicide murder. What a fucking hero you are.
Anyone that’s a billionaire or leads a top 500 company are 99% waste of space and don’t deserve to share our air
I think you’re getting downvoted because if you look again, they only said to “consider” it.
Or maybe people are that upset with health insurance CEOs.
Cory doctorow wrote a short story about this called “radicalized” https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=F00D7584E6296CD7718FC3D359040FD6
Doctorow
It would be an absolute tragedy if someone in his family isn’t a pain management doctor/anesthesiologist.
Doctorow makes me hope for Doctorouchie and DoctorAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, as the medical trifecta of pain levels
Don’t let this discourage you from seeking help. Money isn’t anything, and this is definitely not the way these things always resolve themselves.
I was a practicing psychologist.
I left the field precisely because I became disillusioned with the entire system of “help” for people without significant monetary means being to provide brief coping strategy trainings because their therapy allotment is extremely limited, toss some pills at them, and throw them right back at their problems that are MOST OFTEN either caused by or exacerbated by long-term economic struggles.
Our gallows joke of a mental health system in the US is designed to get the poor that need help right back to producing value for the class of people that get unlimited mental health assistance and intentionally leave the poor struggling in subsistence to live large, right back to what drove them to the ledge, often with a fresh debt load burden to add to their existing burdens as this post points out for the crime of breaking down and begging “please, somebody fucking help me!” in one form or another.
I am literally still traumatized from the profound lack of help I was permitted to provide these people.
I truly don’t mean to offend, but your pretty words don’t reflect the reality the poor and working poor contend with at all, and I can tell you from years of trying to be the change for them with few to no significant resources to offer that many of them correctly find it patronizing.
Also mental health practitioner here. The confused looks my family gives when they ask how to solve the mental health crisis. And I say worker’s rights, better pay, affordable housing, single payer health care, measures against online radicalization, etc
How did this get so many people agreeing with it? 911 is emergency services, it is not a hotline to the police.
I didn’t know that. Where I live, there are different hotlines for police, firefighters and so on. The US has one emergency hotline for everything?
I’ll do nothing for half as much money. It’s a great deal. Call now.
I’ll go so far as to tell you life is worth living and direct you to the suicide hotline for a measly $500.
On a serious note, if anyone has felt suicidal and is still here, I’m glad. I’ve been suicidal and been alone. I’ve been suicidal and had a friend stay with me. I’ve stayed with more than one friend who was ready to end it. I know how you feel and I know how it feels to lose someone and almost lose someone to suicide. Please get help (preferably without calling 911 unless there’s no other way) if you’re feeling that way because in the long run it’s absolutely worth it.
Crisistextline.org has helped me out of some dark places - it’s no substitute for medical care, but it is free and they are always available. Hopefully someone will see this comment who can benefit from this service.
