Did yall know that suicide rates have increased dramatically in the U.S. since like 2000. It has become the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S., making it deadlier than traffic accidents! Suicide is becoming increasingly popular:

America’s suicide rate has increased for 13 years in a row

Those living in rural and less-populated areas have been hit especially hard

I'm not surprised. People are working harder, longer, wages have not increased. Over a million Americans have served on multiple deployments, veterans killing themselves, easy access to guns, how are you surprised?

PS: I'm Canadian.

I'm not suprised really. But I've noticed an increase in suicide rates even among like celebrity people, people who seem to have everything like Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain, the list goes on! It honestly makes me feel better about CBTing knowing that so many people do it..

Yes and I expect the trend to continue growing.

Same, unfortunately

Yes. What do we have to live for? Working three jobs just to keep out heads above water. Maybe having a heart attack and dying while stocking shelves at walmart when we are 80 years old? No fucking thanks.

 

[Broken Chimera]

People started seeing how pointless it all is. Working until you die and the government taking a lot of it. The few distractions aren't good enough anymore, Religion failed a lot of us, people turning on each other. I'm surprised it's not higher tbh.

You can always blame the Mexicans and the illegal aliens and propose to build a wall to keep them out. Oh wait, that's already happening...

Personally, I find the oligarchs just the teensiest bit grabby, but gosh darn it , they "tell it like it is" .

For middle aged men especially, the numbers are ever-growing.

Hello. Ike?

Hello. Ike?

My avatar. Prez when your avatar was big.

 

[Eurus]

I'll eventually add to those statistics

 

[ghostspace]

oh well, I guess it's not a bus I'll be catching, more like a bandwagon.

for real tho, that says a lot about the state of this country.

In the UK its the biggest killer of men under 35, its claimed that every 90 minutes in the UK someone ctb.
That's 16 people per day.

And the world's going crazy over coronavirus which has only killed 10 so far in the UK... Do the math, that's about 160 suicides since first coronavirus death in the UK.

Yet where's the funding the outrage the WHO claiming a suicide epidemic or pandemic...
