Venting Im sick of suicide and self harm being treated like a slur.

[pang of joy]

People look at you like you're insane the second you mention something semi-depressing. It's so frustrating the way they think any sort of bad mental health is unthinkable. Like I just wish people had more empathy about things like these. My friends constantly talk about suicidal people as if they aren't real people. As if they're just a select group of psychotic freaks and it's so dehumanising. I just wish people would stop treating mental health beyond just having a bad day as taboo.

It was never treated like as a slur. It is seen as taboo.

Sadly most people won't even try and understand, they lack compassion towards the suffering that exists here so I personally wouldn't see it as being the best idea opening up to them in the first place, I just despise how there is a lack of acceptance towards the right to die in this world filled with endless suffering but unfortunately this is just the reality.

 

[The anhedonic one]

The whole suicide is selfish thing is upside down.
People who are suicidal are obviously in a huge amount of suffering.
So who is the truly selfish one in this equation ?
Is it the one who is suffering ?
Or
Is it the one who wants to keep the sufferer suffering ?
It's not rocket science to figure this out as everyone here knows all too well .
Yet the pro-lifers lack the brain capacity and emotional intelligence to figure this one out.

People have a tendency to lash out at their future that is staring right at them...No one wants to believe that they themselves which is just as likely to become suicidal because of a fine line between the world having yet done so and their bubble.

They are the ones who cannot see reality, they wish to remain ignorant of the reality that is in front of them, and yet do not blame them for even we wish that this reality was not real, that we could be happy and not in pain. For them they keep their sanity, for me I say relish in the insanity. Hope for a new day, and hope for peaceful end at the same time.

~For you whos in pain, I hope, relief and peace
