if you want to get rid of ss, give us real help

the nyt article goes on and on about what a danger this site is and why it needs to be removed, yet all the provide is a suicide hotline. i have called and texted multiple hotlines and most of the time they leave me feeling more frustrated and hopeless than before. someone you talk to for 5 minutes who you don't have time to truly explain the situation to and who is only trained to give the same scripted responses isn't going to help the majority of people who are so distraught they are on the verge of suicide. and mental hospitals are known for having extreme sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, as well as negligence. i have been in and out of hospitals have more trauma from those places than anywhere else. i have been in therapy my entire life. i've had cbt, dbt, trauma informed, intensive outpatient, every talk therapy available. i have even had shock therapy. i have been on every med in the book. i have been there done that. so if you want to get rid of the one place i can talk about my problems freely, what are your alternatives? give me something else.

In many cases sometimes there is nothing that can help and that is the reality of life. Some situations are hopeless. We deserve a right to die. I think in many cases, wanting suicide is perfectly rational in a world as horrible as this. It is cruel expecting people to suffer for decades.

That's what I've been saying forever. Struggling my whole life and all they got is some pill that's supposed to fix my concerns.
Those pills make you numb so you forget your problems, and that's best case scenario, they're not a cure.

I wish I had it in me to start something big in this lifetime to bring together as many of us as possible and to figure out a way.
Let's be honest. Who really wants to die?
I mean sure, death is a way out, but death won't be going anywhere for any of us.
It's circumstances and chemical issues in our heads that make people suicidal, otherwise there wouldn't be an SI.
Then again, who really thinks they'd still want a way out, so be it. It's still a choice after all. No one pays our bills or feels what another person feels, so why would complete strangers have a say?
The suicide hotlines are a liability waiver, so no one has to feel responsible for people's deaths, cause 'they could've just called' right?

As long as suicide carries a stigma, this won't change and more people will be lost, somewhere hiding away CTBing when no one is watching. Makes me so sad.
