    Don’t let your worst day be your last. A large portion of people who survive true suicide attempts tell you they changed their mind as they jumped.

    If you’re feeling suicidal, the solution isn’t to remove yourself from the situation. The solution is to get out of the situation that makes you feel that way. There are people who want to help you do that. Make the call ❤️

      I’ve never been personally suicidal, but if there’s ever been anything that made me fear the idea of ever doing it, it would be “The View From Halfway Down” in Bojack Horseman (both the episode and the titular poem)

        Bojack Horseman would have gone down in history as legendary if they had let that be the last episode. I didn’t particularly like the final episode. Maybe i just didn’t get what it was going for but the build up to what seemed like bojack dying alone through every fault of his own would have been an extremely fitting end for the series. Just my opinion tho.

        I can’t rewatch the series because of that episode punching far too close to home and because i didn’t like the actual ending. Epic episode instant existential spiral.

          They were following the pattern of every other season where the penultimate episode is the one that goes for maximum dread and then the final episode pulls you back from the edge a bit. Personally I love the final episode. It wraps up a lot of the stories while still leaving the question of Bojack’s mental health open-ended.

            Yeah I think the show is better for its final episode

      remove yourself from the situation

      Well, that’s literally the same thing, at least in my area. But point taken. :)

        Ha, I didn’t make it very clear, but yes, the solution is not to remove yourself from “them” but to get “them” away from you, whoever or whatever those aggravating conditions may be

      Cool, I’ll just send you an invoice for my rent then.

        I’m not a charity, but there are many, when you decide to be strong and change instead of weak and taking it lying down.

          I’m on an island. I’ve called every charity in my city. None of them can help. You have no idea what you’re talking about if you tell people they can just leave the situations that cause them distress.

            I said it’s what’s needed. I stand by that.

            I didn’t say it was always easy. The fact is it’s often hard.

      Well to be fair, to get out of the situation that makes you feel that way is pretty similar as to remove yourself from it.

      But I’m being pedantic, I do get what you mean of course. Personally I’m not really against ending ones own life per se, only the dramatic options that usually lead to all kinds of trauma should be looked at. We can handle this as a society with a gentle support for those who’d like to pass away.

      It can be an acceptable solution to ones pain; but for the sake of your surroundings it should perhaps not be the first.
