Rant because I came across this:
It's nothing new, but I these statements annoy me to no end.
The way people insist that we who are suicidal don't acctually want to die - we just don't understand that we don't.
I find this attitude patronizing and infantilizing. Suicidal people are just wanting attention and "crying for help" and have no intention of killing ourselves when we try to ctb.
I mean, what part of a suicide is it that says "I really want to live"? Why is it so har to understand that some of us acctually do want to die? And in what way is wanting to stop the pain not wanting to die, when death is the only way of doing so?
Ugh, fuck people...
