I don't get how my therapist and just people in general are so against suicide. My therapist even commented on the fact that I've been doing therapy with just this organization for over 6 years. Clearly it doesn't "get better" and if it does, it's too little too late. As time goes on it just gets harder and harder. Saying "it gets better" is just giving someone false hope. You cannot promise someone that. You cannot guarantee that this depressed person's life won't actually get so much worse with probably higher odds than it getting better.
My dad also really doesn't understand mental health, (19 so still living with him) pretty obvious through the things he says. I've been anorexic for a while and once I finally got to a normal weight, I told my dad cuse ya know that's a good thing. His response? "Well, you still have too much fat. You aren't active enough for muscle to be making up a healthy amount of that weight." While he doesn't know I was anorexic, he does know I'm severely mentally ill and have body image issues (I'm trans) so saying that kind of thing is just yikes. He also shows 0 concern for me. Best thing to say to your daughter lying in a hospital bed having just stabbed herself and overdosed. "sigh. Dude, just tell me if you're feeling this way." Wow way to make me feel loved. Saying that like I've just inconvenienced you instead of nearly dying. Just let me die.
