For what it's worth, I partly agree. It just seems important to try to help whatever is going on.
Most people don't try, you know? It can be really hard for people who have stuff going on to find any kind of support.
And you'd think it'd be the opposite: family, friends, counsellors. Yet for some reason, people tend to eschew them during dark times. There's something worth exploring there, and I want to help somehow.
In that case, it was trauma that almost led to suicide. But it was intensely private and humiliating. Of course she wasn't going to talk to her father about it.
If only there were a service for people in that situation to get real help, on demand. There are suicide hotlines, but many people are far more comfortable expressing themselves via keyboard.
You don’t want to talk about suicidal thoughts. If you do that, then you will get locked up and not treated like a person. In Australia, the medical profession who are meant to help people with suicidal thoughts are the very last people you should speak to.
No no, if you want to prevent suicide you should avoid specualting on what went on in a person's mind.
Suicide is a complex phenomena, and it's wrong to boil it down to one or two things.
