threatening suicide in public

[Azzy69]

I am thinking about threatening suicide in public in front of a bunch of people. I might say some crazy stuff or lunge at cops so they shoot me. if they dont, at least its suicide fuel eh

Why pull other people into it who didn't even do anything to you?

I'm afraid that the vast majority of people won't really give a shit, will give you weird looks and that's all, and cops will opt to use non-lethal force and give you a ride to the nearest looney bin - unless you'll be posing a real danger to them or to the people around you.
also, if you're planning on CTB by cops you need to remember that they are shooting center of mass, which is your abdomen and it might be surprisingly difficult to die from such injuries given how all cops have completed first-aid training and will immediately call for professional medical help

If you aren't carefully and methodically planning a sure way to exit, your heart presumably isn't in it. I'd recommend considering your motivations for suicide, by this post alone they sound possibly transient.

What a stupid way to to go. Have some dignity and at least not involve others in your stunt!
I guess you want your 20 minutes of fame!!!!

Maybe a cry for help, I interpret it this way anyway. Distress is distress and can make you think/do all sorts of things.

I just can't, involving others in something like this is a terrible idea.

I see why you would choose something like that but it would be better if random people weren't impacted mentally as they have done nothing to you. I would recommend dying in a private area on your own.

If you do this people will get pissed at you. Eventually, you will lose any and all compassion which will be replaced with a dismissive "again?".

Great way to be put into a psych ward!

I can understand your motivation behind this. I hardly like the human race either, especially when in suicidal mode, but if you're not careful about what you're doing as the previous poster said it is a sure way of being temporarily institutionalized.

that's my point. I really couldnt care less what happens to me. I feel like im not in any control over my own body anymore

If you're looking to take a vacation in a psych ward there are better and less theatrical methods to accomplish this. The staff may treat you better if you admit yourself voluntarily.

In my area a guy did similar to what you described but to railway station staff , didn't follow through with his threat and he was remanded in custody and was put before the court. and sentenced to two weeks in prison. Now there is a little more to it, as I know the guy ,he was in hospital same time as me and no doubt got fuck all help when he was discharged as well but personally If you are suicidal I don't believe in dragging other people into it as far as possible as why damage others?

And despite suffering with suicidal ideation,it wasn't admitting to suicidal thoughts and plans that got me admitted to psychiatric hospital ,in the UK at least the bar for an admission is higher than that,the mental health crisis is so bad here suicidal thoughts is shrugged off as there aren't the resources. It was actually my severe anxiety which I had to be medicated for by paramedics even before I went to hospital and no sleep for days that got me admitted. Despite hating hospitals ,I was in no fit state to argue with them,just lay down and agreed to it.
