When I was a kid, I once put on my avatar a candle with a dark background. It was some mourning day. One of my classmates did it, and I mimicked her behavior. I still don't know why I did this.

I think people(at least the people I know)truly do care it's just an extremely difficult thing to talk about and understand if you've not had mental health problems yourself and even if you have everybody's situation is slightly different
The people I know genuinely don't care. They only care about hitting me up when they need something (usually money), then ignore my entire existence for months until the next time they need something.
I also don't think 'they can't relate because they've never been through it' is a good enough excuse, personally. I've never broken my leg, but if I saw someone with a broken leg I'd still care enough to try and help as best as I can. The reality is no one cares if you're suicidal. They only care when you're dead.

Well I've got some good news. I e-mailed someone and told her it was suicide awareness day (I know, I got it wrong, it's actually suicide prevention day, but hopefully that's not important) and suggested she did something to decrease my desire to kill myself. I got an e-mail from her yesterday for the 1st time since April. So that cheered me up a tiny bit. It remains to be seen whether she'll keep sending me e-mails this time.
It would bloody feel like Christmas lol if they did
I bloody hope so if that's what you desire. Hugs.

I'm late to this thread, but my two cents is that I agree that it's mostly full of virtue signalers who "don't really care" but want to "act like they care" in order to score brownie points with their fellow peers and society. As for them trying to make CTB'ing harder by limiting effective methods and what not, I wouldn't underestimate them for trying to restrict access to reliable means since over the years they have done that with certain methods (one example would be 'Helium' in those Toy balloon kits by making the helium tank less than pure and adding another gas into it, thus diluting the gas inside. There are more but that's just one that comes to mind).
Furthermore, the sad part is that I don't see anti-suicide, anti-choice rhetoric lightening up in overall society (sure, in some circles there may be more open discussion and dialogue about it, mainly the end-of-life, terminal illness/death with dignity circles and some philosophical circles, but hardly much in the voluntary euthanasia, self-deliverance aspects). While it may be possible that progress will eventually get there, it's not likely to happen anytime soon, at least not within the near future... I just remember "we are NOT free" when we have to secretly obtain the resources and methods while remaining under the radar (not raising suspicion, red flags, and what not), preparing ourselves for the attempt, and finally, trusting that our method is reliable, execute it properly, and overcoming SI to find peace. All of that would not be necessary if only voluntary euthanasia is legalized and/or allowed to be accessed freely (with some restrictions to prevent abuse of course).

It makes me so mad that so many people want us to keep suffering.

I am in Singapore and I had heard absolutely nothing about suicide prevention on the 10th.... I guess no one around me really gave a shit. When I finally stop being scared of failing it, and successfully leave, I bet they won't care either

Here's some typical responses:
Society: "If you're feeling low, for goodness sake tell someone!"
Person: "I'm feeling suicidal"
Society: "You're attention seeking"
Person: *attempts suicide*
Society: "A cry for help"
Person: *kills themselves*
Society: "There were absolutely no signs" :(

This is true
Even if there are signs, it's either ignored or seen as attention-seeking too.
people often believe 'genuinely suicidal people don't talk about it; they just do it'. That means that if you do talk about it, you're clearly not genuine...

this part is a mindfield, some people do talk about it as they actually do want help, which is when sometimes attention seeking comes into it, as if they are cured and no longer sucicidal, then what was the issue BUT sometimes, someone may talk about it, get accused of attention seeking, get ignore, they ctb, bam what was it then, where they wanting help but failed, did they really want to ctb or other?
