  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

My mother is a mental help professional and everyday I listen to her bitch about her patients and call them stupid for trying to kill themselves and or hurt themselves, this is the women who used to work with adolescents and was a therapist for over a decade. Logically I know this isn't every mental health professional, but people wonder why most suicidal people don't go to professionals for help if they want it? This is why. It's not just in peoples head that's mental health 'professionals' are untrustworthy it's just a fact. Also like not everyone wants help, like jst let people be. People are free to do whatever they want to better themselves even if the way to better themselves if to kill themselves. I just felt I should share,

I would want a bigger sample size than 1 before i form any sort of conclusion but I agree that therapy isn't useful for many people.

The insensitivity doesn't even surprise me, I believe that people like that only care about money, the industry just exists to profit from people's suffering which is why there is so much brainwashing into trying to make people believe that wanting to die is irrational. To me any of the "help" will always be a scam.

It varies.

I remember when I first went to therapy when I was 16 - I was there with other teens.

I thought it was insane that some were hurting themselves or attempting suicide and I said as much to my then therapist, and she basically scolded me for my judgmental attitude.

There are definitely many people who shouldn't be working with psyche patients, but there are also people who are burnt out from the caseloads of trauma-dumping.

i believe the pharmaceutical industry intends to profit from peoples' suffering. I don't agree therapy does that, many people benefit from it (which the numbers support) and I think most therapists want to help their clients. Why else would they choose the career path? If they discourage CTB it's because they believe their patients can heal and don't understand because they haven't suffered the same way.

Perhaps your mom started as a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed MHP with hope? I'm curious to know. Either way, it sounds like a copium to keep herself adequately distanced and insulated from the suffering she's exposed to. I think a lot of doctors attain a similar coldness and arrogance that provides them distance from personal connection and the subsequent suffering.

If your mom just hates the people she's supposed to help, that is overwhelmingly unfortunate. She would then be a real negative force in the world.

How do you deal with her complaints? I feel for you, really. 😕

I hate it when they say: it's you the one who must be willing to change when they see things aren't working out. It's like their escape plan.
Idk I feel like many therapists are there just to take your money and it's hard to find a good one. That's my experience with them.

I think a lot of health professionals want to help and have good intentions, it's just they a stuck in a system intent on maximising profits and in many cases keeping people sick.
