I never made a thread but this has been bugging me ever since middle school and I think I can finally speak on it and that is this statement

“Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem”

Please pleaseeee know that this a really sensitive topic to some but I’m also going to include my own mental illness that follow through this concept this topic is important to me so just read :(

the main focus of this thread is that literally people act like those who think of suicide as a solution haven’t really thought of any other way to cope

It annoys me so much because I was one of them, I was bullied I was harassed and I did everything to stop the living nightmare that was my life, I stopped eating I threw up if I felt full, I didn’t go to school I started cutting rather than fighting my abusers

I ASKED FOR HELP and no one came at the time, my counselor in middle school were to busy caring about the fact that cut scars were inappropriate then to ask me why is did it in the first place I even told my mom and she simply yelled at me for it

During that time my life was a living nightmare and all it took for those around me to care was to actually follow through, I get meds, I have support groups I go to now and then, I have live chats with my therapist over how I’m doing

These are my highs after my low cycles and I fear that I will fall very low next time, but I do everything in my power to find solutions that don’t involve giving away my life

So yeah suicide isn’t a permanent solution to temporary problem, it’s the end of many people’s journeys after years of trying with no success they only hope for a happy afterlife were they can rest
