I recently wrote a blog post about suicide. It wasn't about my own ideations, which have been pretty frequent of late, for reasons that I'll probably go into at some point in the near future. It received mixed reviews in some circles, varying from very positive from some, especially those whose ideations are fairly constant, to carpet-bitingly shrill howlings from others.
Some said that, as somebody who is a vocal advocate for mental health and suicide prevention, I was being irresponsible.
I'd be interested in discussing this a little. The psych and neuro forum doesn't really feel like the right place for this,because I don't accept the notion that suicidal ideation is but it's the best place we have here.
Still I'd be hugely interested in what people here think. I'm most interested in whether or not anybody can logically defend the premise that living is better than not living. The link to the blog post is below.
Note: I have zero appetite for conflict at the moment, not least because I'm going through some horrendous shit, and it's far from over, so I won't give any truck to screaming, and you can expect to be ignored. I'm also not interested in advice to seek help, because there is none for my issues, which are purely logistical at the moment. I don't need therapy, and I don't need to be sectioned.
