well that would be you inferring something that isn’t there.
nobody told you to stop trying. what i am saying is that these ubiquitous, “reach out to your loved ones!” posts that we see every time someone kills themselves might be well intended, but it’s not advice that is ever going to stop someone from committing suicide.
again, the point is this: millions of mentally ill people who had great support systems and lots of loved ones have still killed themselves, and it’s not because they didn’t have enough people “reaching out”, it’s because of the dire lack of real, practical, effective mental health care in this country. even rich people with access to all of the best health care commit suicide every day. you can reach out all you want, but until we, as a nation, take mental healthcare seriously, this will continue to happen all over the country every single day, and that shouldn’t be the case. we absolutely could and should do better. it’s criminal that the richest country in the world is the only with a mental health problem this severe.
