So a school person found out about my suicide and I was sent to the school spycologyest.
And she was like:
“You know if you kill yourself, you go to hell, right?
I was angry with this. I have always had religion in my face, and I almost blew up here.
Then she was like, “What do you have to do tonigh?8
A orchestra concert,” I said.
“What if you kill yourself today or tomorrow?”
Then they sent me to a hospital place for a month.
Do you think she was trying to control me or actually help me? It seemed like it was more for control than help.

She was probably trying to help, but most people don’t have a clue how to help depressed/suicidal people, which is evidenced by the fact that she actually said something so ridiculous as “if you kill yourself you’ll go to hell”.
How did someone find out?
I’m assuming that the school you go to, is a very religious one? From what I understand, non-religious schools refrain from any sort of religion being pushed upon their students.
I don’t think that she wasn’t trying to help, if that makes sense. But, like Scar504 has said, people don’t have a clue how to help depressed/suicidal people. And I think their whole approach to the situation was mishandled. Either through their lack of knowledge on depression, or because they believe their beliefs are more important than actually helping people. I wish to believe it’s the former – That way, the problem they have can easily be changed.
On a another note, I really hope you’re feeling better. And that you’ve found a reason to carry on.
Sorry,
But no, my school is a public school. It’s not a religious one.
And honestly, no. At that time I was thinking about it, but now I’m trying to plan.
Sorry.
Oh, I was crying for help, that’s how school found out.
Didn’t do any good though.
I now isolate myself from people and don’t talk much about my feelings.
I think that sometimes people think they need to control you in order to help you. I can’t think of any situations where it has actually worked effectively though. Most people just have no idea what they are talking about or doing when dealing with someone with depression and suicidal urges/thoughts.
Yeah, it’s sad that we have to be so circumspect, but you have to know who you can cry to.
Btw, i’ve been wondering about this for a while. I hope you’re not offended, but how are you blind? I mean obviously you’re on a computer; does that mean you can’t see like more then a few feet in front of you? Forgive my ignorance.
No, well,
I use a special computer for blind people with a braille display. It costs a ton of money and I hate the company, but my school bought it for me.
I also use a regular windows laptop with a screen reader, but that company also sucks, so yeah.
How did you know that I was blind?
Have I mentioned that on here or something?
Wow, that’s really interesting. That’s what i thought, but i wasn’t sure that they existed and i’ve been wondering since you joined. You must be amazingly strong, i’m not sure how i’d live with being able to see.
Okay, sarcasm i get it lol you may have mentioned it once or twice.
