I get annoyed by pro lifers so much linking the suicide hotline. I'm sure it's helped some people, but it still doesn't fail to annoy me. As I'm searching for an SN source, I see a Reddit post warning people about how SN is a popular method now and telling them about sites like this, saying these sites are terrible. Oh and of course, they had to attach the suicide hotline link with it. These people think I want to die because I failed a test? Or my partner broke up with me? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make anyone's reason for CTB seem lesser than another, but my problems aren't small, and aren't fixable. Trust me, I've tried, I've talked to therapists, tried to be positive and hopeful, a normal happy life just isn't possible for me. And they say "keep trying, don't give up, it's bound to get better", I've been suicidal for a while now but never done it because pro lifers like these make things incredibly harder to access forcing me and others to continue our torment. I get it, they think they're helping, they want to be a hero, but in my case they're doing the exact opposite. I understand they can't fathom why we are the way we are, they can't understand why anyone would want to take their own life, but in my opinion that's from a perspective of privilege. Who are you to deny people the right to die, and shamelessly post a suicide hotline link, they just want to play hero if you ask me. I dont know, maybe I could understand if I had a replica whose life mirrored mine down to a t, and my replica didn't want to ctb. But everyone's problems, thoughts, upbringing, reactions, feelings and body are different, who are you to tell me my life will change, and force me to stay in hell when you haven't lived my life. If only talking to someone about my problems could make them disappear, if only. Anyway just a rant, I'm tired of seeing that link thrown in my face, if there was a way out, trust me I'd take it, but I've tried numerous times, I'm tired.
