It is nothing more than insulting to people who are seriously suicidal on here, to have to read some of the ‘advice’ given from do-gooders. I call them do-gooders, because they give those with real ability to understand and help, a bad name.
Obviously some people think that because they may have had suicidal thoughts at some stage in their life, this gives them the qualifications to tell others what they should do. 1 in every 3 people have thought about suicide more than once, it is not the same as someone who has felt suicidal for a very long time, it is not the same as someone who really wants to be dead but they are scared of having to do it, and it is not the same as someone who has thought of methods of suicide and taken action in getting the plan into completion.Â
Having said that, I am astonished that these wise and wonderful people actually think that the suicidal ones have never taken the time to think about getting a new job, moving to somewhere remote, watching a video that they recommend, watch TV under a blanket was one particular brilliant piece of advice! (despite the author of that post actually saying that that was one of the things they wanted to leave behind in this world), oh the list goes on and all of it incredibly insulting to the author. If any of those authors did in fact come back onto this site to check responses, I guarantee that these snippets of brilliance would not make them reconsider, it will probably inspire them more to go ahead with their plan.
You have no idea how insulting it is to say these things to someone, I mean, are you really that empty headed that you think they have not considered these things themselves? This confirms even more that you have nothing in common, no connection, with the author and yet you impose your ignorant self on them in their last moments in life, or at least in their moments of despair.
How many people have come back on after reading these comment (those that have left serious suicide notes) and said ‘oh wow, I never thought of that, thanks, I will go now and do it this very minute, and to think I nearly killed myself and the solution was so simple’ How many?  I see NONE.  If you wasn’t so empty headed, you would take a hint from that and move on, but I suspect you being on here has so much more to do with you than it does about anyone else. You can’t reason with stupidity.
This is not merely an angry attack – this post is important because peoples lives are at stake here. No wonder everyone’s dropping like flies on this site, I agree there are some good points made on this site in discussion form, but those who are ‘advising’ are really dangerous. I pray that someone relevant finds this site and saves it in this regard. I’m not even suicidal but reading through this site has just depressed the hell out of me.
