Discussion Does living life feel like being victim to emotional blackmail to you?

[Forever Sleep]

We know what pain our suicides will likely cause others so, we carry on so as not to hurt them. The biggest irony is when it's for our parents because they initiated all this for us.

But, it does feel like emotional blackmail. Don't kill yourselves because it will devastate us. Nevermind what you are feeling and going through. All of that is surmountable- you could get over it if you tried harder but- we won't get over your suicide so- don't do it.

Well, yes. That is why prescriptive appeals to family and friends are not an effective suicide prevention technique.
