How to prevent your suicide getting in the news

[TowerUpright]

One other thing of note with suicide reporting in other countries. Sometimes they make shit up.

There is an English article on a Chinese website, where a death attributed to intentional SN poisoning said they died with the worst pain possible. Wish I had a link.

Could be a translation issue, but I think they lied just to discourage others.

Try to suicide in a secluded place, like woods or a hotel room.
When I jumped, it was in the middle of fucking rush hour so obviously it went on my citys internet page and on the radio
And peoples comments underneath were disgusting.

I'm very afraid of getting in the news. "Young woman found cynotic and unconscious at her parents' house" etc. Yeah it will happen, complete with scandal related to SN after the autopsy.

You need not disclose this here, but was your name published? If it was then that must really suck. I certainly can imagine the shit people would say—social media has made people callously indifferent to the point of finding amusement in the adversity of others.

They wrote stuff like, 'Go headfirst', 'Do it in a bikini to show off this sexy body of yours', 'He who does not jump is a cop' and 'Shes a woman, she got out of the kitchen and went nuts because freedom got into her head'
So yea...
No, my name is not disclosed, Im pretty sure thats illegal in light of confidentiality issues. I was just described as a '20 year old deranged woman on the bridge'.
The poor girl who followed my steps a few years later got a video of her jumping plastered all over the internet though, cant imagine how she feels now knowing that people mock her most heartbreaking moments. People are scum.

People are scum.

I hear that. Still, one has to wonder why one would make a video of one's ctb—it smacks a bit of crying for attention, which IMHO is not a reason to carry out self deliverance.

She didnt tape it. Observers did. And posted it on youtube. Which is the epitome of scum for me, especially since they included close ups of her on the railing

Yeah that's waaay worse. Instead of trying to help, they just took out their cameras and video recorded the event—welcome to Planet Asshole.

Where's that doomsday meteor scheduled to hit the Earth and wipe us all out when we need it?
