Discussion why doesn't anyone talk about ctb in the elderly?

It really is a topic that is rarely talked about in the mass media or conventional internet platforms. It is a reality that many older adults commit this act for reasons we could not imagine.

I hope that this reality is spread and that more information about it is investigated.

I think that people don't talk about suicide in general because it's taboo

Probably because they're old it makes sense when people die when they're old no matter the reason, some people think at least they got to live awhile. Younger people with crippling disabilities mental illness etc is a lot more tragic, although forgotten about relatively quickly every time. I know I wish I could have died old but it's not an option.

I don't think getting old and dying used to be this painful. Even 100 years ago, people used to live close their families. It's so easy to relocate. A lot of old people are very lonely.

Plus, all the toxins and poisons in the food & environment give people painful diseases.
