I have cutted a lot of people out of my life because of that. I just despise pejorative statements about suicidality and people who have committed suicide. Something inside me makes me think these people are scum. I am kind of sensitive on that topic. I have the luck I have some loyal friends. Even if they make a hurtful comment (which is rare) I can cope with it because I know they are good and understanding people.
I just think about some people in the moment. There was this friendly dude in my self-help group. He left a more or less funny remark that someone in our group might have committed suicide ...he also used a pejorative term for suicide. He himself had often suicidal thoughts in the past. I have the feeling he thinks people who commit suicide are weak. I am now more hesitant to open up in the group since this incident. I have met in several clinic stays people who stigmatized suiciddality a lot. Still I opened up about it. For me people who talk badly about suicidal people are just scum. I try to think that way in order to protect me. Their opinion is not important for me. This is often the reason why I have stopped the contact to those people.
But not only negative comments on suicidality trigger me. Also stigmatization of mental illnesses and immoral behavior influences me so that I distance myself from other people. I don't like for example misogyny or antisemitism. There is a dude he also struggles with his mental health. He has a similar to story to mine also abused by his parents. He left some condescending remarks about (my) suicidality. I am quite resentful about that. This dude has some serious problems. He has somewhat of a crazy worldview. For example he dislikes unemployed people but he himself is unemployed. I can't take him serious sometimes.
I think the main point of this thread is am often butthurt about those comments. I try to have a thicker skin but sometimes it triggers me just too hard. Then I am often venting in this forum which is quite helpful for me. I just need a safe-space where I can talk about my suicidality. I have read and received so many hurtful comments on other websites. I once said leaving those comments is like spitting on my grave. Something inside myself dies when it is really condescending.
There was one dude. He was in an institution for people who struggle to work. This man humiliated me in an extremely horrible way. My mom was with me. We both cried louldy because he just dehumanized us. I was really shocked. This was an instituion where normally people get help. This guy was despicable. I more or less threatend if he treats me in this way I can kill myself now when I don't get help there. He more or less told me if you say something like that you also have to do it. I was really shocked by this asshole.
Yeah as you might think this triggered me a lot. But I could cope with it by saying to myself: This person is scum and he does not deserve my attention. This helped me.
I don't want to scare anyone. I also have made a lot of positive experiences when opening up about my suicidality and mental health problems. I think it was very relieving to open up. This was essential in order to escape rock bottom. But it is true I also had some negative expierences with it. I just hope maybe some people also can get a thicker skin by saying such people are not worth our tears. This incident really was quite insane...
