Okay so for this topic i may as well give a bit of my own story.
The first time i was suicidal was when i was 16.
I was being hevily bullied in school at the time
and my family were neglecting me
At the age of 19 I became addicted to drugs and at age 21 I was admitted to a psyc unit
I had attempted suicide once before this when i was very drunk.
After being put on psyc meds I became extremely suicidal
which i had not been at the time of my hospitalisation
In the following years things got easier but since Covid things have taken a turn for the worse.
Alot of whats happened is very stressful so its not necessarily related to a mental illness
I have also since relapsed but i was planning on the suicide before I relapsed.
In some ways the relapse is keeping me alive
as it lessens the pain I am going through.
So my question is, do you think its okay for society to blame things like
mental health or mental illness (two separate things)
a mental illness is things like bipolar. mental health is just another term for mental well being
and well we all have a mental health status the same way we all have a physical health status.
I would see things like being unfit as a physical health issue. but being unfit is not an illness.
Or do you think its okay for people to say things like
"no wonder jimmy ctb, he was taking drugs. drugs made him ctb"
I mean theres a difference between some taking psycadellics
and ctb because they think a demon is chasing them.
And someone sick and tierd of life, who wants to ctb
who happens to drink, smoke weed and possibly take harder drugs right?
