Do you genuinely believe suicide can occur when initiated by an otherwise mentally and physically healthy adult? I feel like people like you tend to think suicide is a type of taboo and thoughts of it automatically get you classified as "mentally ill". Not advocating for suicide, of course, just trying to understand others' perspective. If that's true then you shouldn't keep saying "mentally ill" to imply there is an independent cause, you can just say anyone who is thinking about suicide is just suicidal and that is bad in itself. Because right now it sounds like doublespeak.
- jdavis703 5y agoThinking about suicide does not make one suicidal. There are plenty of times where I think “I’d rather be dead” but have no urge to actually act on it. This is far different from thinking “I’d rather be dead, let me start preparing.”
