More than 50% of people who CTB don't leave a suicide note. When I CTB, few people may be able to "guess" the reason/(s) for my CTB. What about you?

They have but their reactions are mixed. They know I have depression, so they think suicidal ideation is just a normal part of the illness. So as long as I don't try anything, they figure it's nothing to worry about yet. The ones who know more tend to get frustrated with and guilt trip me until I learned to be quiet about it. Though, I can't blame them. I know they just want to help me and are mad that they can't do much, so they lash out at me instead. It also doesn't help that they've been brainwashed by society's shallow pro-life views.I'm pretty surprised and sorry to hear that. I would think people who know would try to talk to you about it.
This sadness me greatly ... it stands to show how widespread and how lethal suicide stigmatization really is. The invalidating 'attention seeking/manipulating' mantra is used as an easy, convenient escape route so that there is no need to ever ask why this person is even thinking about suicide let alone why it is somehow wrong to 'seek attention' when one is hurting. No wonder many, if not most, that suffer the most do not tell.I've only expressed my suicidal thoughts to One family member and the result of that was the rest of the family thinking I'm attention seeking, or manipulating.
