To the anon who just wrote to me about being suicidal: please DO NOT DO IT. Call for help immediately, don’t wait for my RP reply! Life is worth living, there’s so much left to experience and enjoy, you have choices.
If you’re thinking about suicide, please read Suicide Help or call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) in the U.S.! To find a suicide helpline outside the U.S., visit IASP or Suicide.org.
I’m not a professional in this field and I’m struggling to say the right things here, but if one of my friends or family told me this, I would make them promise to give me at least a day to spend with them, make lists of their fave things, and remind that there are so many more yet undiscovered fave things, people to meet, places to go…
But most importantly that they, and you, matter. You are worthy of being happy. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise *hugs*
depending on where you are sitting – hang tight talk to the suicide hotline – they will stay on the line as long as you need them that is what they are there for.
if you have already taken something or done something to harm yourself please call 911 – yes suicide is illegal but you probably won’t face any prison time for it it is illegal so that the police can get in if there is reasonable suspicion that you are a danger to yourself and others.
if you haven’t done anything talk to the suicide hotline and then make an appointment with your local hospital – please tell them what you planned on doing and be honest. if you took something please don’t lie to them – i dunno is a legitimate answer.
