What's the worst anti-suicide advice you've ever seen or heard?

[Pistolero114]

Think of all the people you're going to hurt.

 

[Morphinekiss]

I'm sure someone has already posted this but

"You don't know what you'll miss out on."

 

[who doesn't matter]

I won't say advice, it was more like a statement that " only spineless cowards commit suicide who can't handle life".

This is what it says on the back of our school ID's

IMPORTANT PHONE #S
Call 911 in an emergency

Crisis/Suicide Hotlines
La Frontera EMPACT-24 hour crisis Hotline: 480-784-1500
Teen Lifeline - 24 hour crisis hotline: 602-248-TEEN (8336)

ACT to save a life
A=Acknowledge that you see signs of depression or suicide in a friend
C=Care - Show your friend that you care about them
T=Tell a trusted adult so that you can get help
Remember, no matter what the reasons, when you feel like giving up DON'T You are not alone

And what's funny is that someone in our school CTB just last weekend, I didn't really know him too well personally but the school made a HUGE deal out of the whole thing. Like the daily video announcements we have here was just filled with anti-suicide propaganda and a bunch of lies on how you have so much to live for blah blah blah.

This just gave me an idea, since I know someone who is like in charge of editing the videos that we see every day for the announcements, what if when I chose to CTB and I made like some goodbye video and went on a rant red pilling the pro-lifers on how hotlines are a joke and people should have the freedom to choose to end their own lives and hopefully change some people's minds when it comes to suicide in general. Now this is just something I came up with and if I were to actually pull this off it would involve a lot of planning.

But RIP to the guy who CTB last weekend may the peace you deserve

"Reconsider your opinion. Change it. Please, do it for me. Think better about it. RECONSIDER YOUR OPINION..." It sounded almost like 6 year old kid trying to convince 4 year old kid that it is indeed a lemonade. Except it was 60+ year old grown-up, some head of constuction company or whatever. He can fix things, knows about cars, how to fish... lots of practical knowledge. It seemed so weird to me at first, almost like in surreal comedy.

I see it this way now: we cannot think about everything, our brains would fry trying to process so much in so little time we've got. That's where beliefs kick in. They take care about unpleasant topics while you are free to navigate through life, thinking about starting a buisness, marriage, how to properly mock another member of a group to increase personal status, what kind of words put in his mouth... Things that promote life and good feelings. I think being delusional is crucial to remain functional.

Theres a high bridge near my house that many people die jumping off. A few months ago someone started putting notes along it aimed at suicidal people. The one read ' suicide doesn't end the suffering it just passes it onto someone else '

Just think that's one big massive guilt trip. A friend of mine is a psychotherapist, he said guilt is a choice. Guilt is probably the only thing keeping me here at the moment. One day that feeling will go , and that day will be my last.

 

[Wayfaerer]

"It gets better!"

No it doesn't.

 

[woxihuanni]

It is especially funny when some moron friend neglects you a lot, and then hears you are considering to ctb, and then your talk is cut short and they neglect you again. I mean, they are not so important that I would survive for them, but if the one job you can do is to be an ear while I set up my method and suffer immensely, fucking do it instead of pretending I should not die. Even feeling like this does not make me a priority for you, and you dare say I should stay? Fucker.

Needless to say, I was always there for them when they fucked up their lives.

Oh yes, the guilt tripping. You know what, if my pain would indeed pass on to the ones responsible even to the slightest degree, I'd do it with even more willingness. But they won't feel anything else than relief and happiness.

But the modern narrative is that nobody is responsible for anything. Physical abuse brings the cops to the door, but emotional abuse is never anybody's responsibility, the victim has to suck up and move on. Therapy is a magic wand. Sure.

 

[WinterIsComing]

Oh and when they say: i don't know what yo tell you or how to help...

Try using the internet, there are a lot of resources

life is beautiful

 

[Kikoo Loool]

Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems.

The people who damaged me are dead already. It would just hurt the very few people who actually care about me. But I imagine they would get over that pretty quick tbh.

"Just think positive thoughts!"

Wow thanks I'm cured.

 

[Lookingforabus]

"Just think positive thoughts!"

Wow thanks I'm cured.

Worked for me. I'm positive I'll be able to painlessly and peacefully CtB with my nitrogen tank. I actually do feel much better now.

"I don't know what you're really going through..."

I feel I should point out that a certified neuropsychologist said this.

"... but remember: it's keppra doing all the talking."

Ok, this is very very tailored.
Some context: I'm epileptic (did I bitch about this enough already?) And keppra is in my meds cocktail. A side effect is depression. "Mild depression". Very very "mild depression". Another side effect is kepprage, which I feel I should make a dedicated post on, but on the other hand, there aren't enough epileptics here to call for it.
A fucking certified neuropsychologist who marked me as only as "expectedly upset" because he didn't have enough grip on me to send me to a psych ward told me my meds are bad.
No shit, Sherlock! How about vimpat? I can't even jerk my dick in peace because of that shit!
Nah, mate, it's all good. Thank you HouseMD for your wise words.

Fuck. I'd take Dr. Mario over that bullshit you had to deal with.

 

[Futility]

All credit goes to my boyfriend:
"You have no reason to be depressed or feeling that way"

Oh! Never mind then, thanks for clearing that up! s/

 

[scorpiooo2]

I've had some some people tell me to just simply "Stop being sad." like I can change the way I feel.

 

[Wackywoo]

"Suicide isn't the right thing to do because we were put on earth for a reason "

 

[JimFord99]

Yeah, you are here for a reason. In fact the reason is feeling guilty all the time, feeling being judged, being talked about, feeling looking over your shoulder all the time, being harassed, being pointed at, being fucked up all the time. About right.

Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems.

This is one that really gets me. Such a stupid statement. Unless they can raise my husband from the ground the I don't see it being temporary !

Nobody can raise your husband from the ground. Sorry, really I am but this is the harsh reality. For your husband the problem has been solved. End of. Sadly for you you it still persists. My sympathy is it's you.

 

[wildmoon]

"Just think of everybody who loves you and how you'll hurt them".

"Just be happy".

"You have nothing to be depressed about".

 

[JimFord99]

I read in an article, that says "There is no painless ways". Enrages. It's either ignorance or a lie. If false, that's especially disgusting.

This depends wether you mean painless in a physical or emotional way

 

[scorpiooo2]

Another one I've heard several times

"Your life isn't that bad, you have no reason to kill yourself."

Love that, no reason at all.

 

[hadenough]

"Think about the ones you leave behind." What if they are the people that have driven you here?

 

[Read123456788]

Exactly that. Even if I learnt to live with it, it wouldn't ever be temporary. Same with lots of reasons people see ctb as they remaining move.
Another cracking one is tough times don't last, tough people do.

Honestly where do they make this stuff up!
