ETA: most of the "warning signs" in the second half of this infographic DO NOT actually warrant emergency attention. They're mostly just symptoms of depression or other mental illnesses, not even close to suicidality. I'm not sure why this infographic's creator is so insistent on sending EMS/police to people who are merely depressed, but that's a BAD choice. Talk to the person, support them as you can, encourage them to get professional help, but don't call 911 unless they literally have a suicide plan and intend to use it soon. For passive suicidality, warning signs that aren't at the "get me emergency help" level, or if you're just unsure, a suicide hotline is your friend.
Note: giving away prized possessions, especially when accompanied by sudden energy or lighter mood than usual, is a critical warning sign that a person is about to off themselves. They've made the decision, they're giving things away to make sure the things are with the people they want to have them when they're gone, it's a relief to them. Don't call 911 yet if someone does this, but DEFINITELY reach out to them immediately for a heart-to-heart and ask what's going on.

​Knocking at Death's Door: The Story of a Friend who Sent Death an Honest Proposal
​Knocking at Death’s Door: The Story of a Friend who Sent Death an Honest Proposal
Living in bondage of one’s thoughts has been one of the scariest things that could happen a man, especially, an adolescent who’s trying to understand life, purpose, course and getting his/her life together. Many of us, especially the introverted ones, even extroverts have written a letter to death, saw death face to face, or even sent death a proposal maybe because we think we are not enough,…

It's May - Time for Comments for a Cause
It’s May – Time for Comments for a Cause
May has arrived and it is amazing how quickly this year seems to be flying by. It seems like it was just January but yet here it is May already. I guess that is a sign that I am indeed getting older. Sad but true fact. Especially with the recent birthday in my rear view mirror I am realizing that time really is flying by. April found me musing about the same passage of time so I guess I am…

I just had a morbid thought. But, what if Galois die? Either by an anti-mutant Yokai group, in a kidnapping attempt by the mercenaries or by members of the resistance? How would the characters react?
Well, that would be an incredibly unfulfilling end to the story, for one. And don't get me wrong, character deaths that are by design unsatisfying absolutely have their place, (Finnick's death in Mockingjay comes to mind) but I feel like it would be more frustrating here than make a point.
Honestly, I could see it going either way for Draxum. He could either give up right then and there and die with him, or he could go total Rhaenyra after Luke's death. Total liquidation on his enemies, and no mercy for his allies who object. Once that was over, though, he wouldn't really have any direction and would eventually end up destroying himself. He means it when he says he can't lose Galois. He could handle losing anyone else, everyone else. Even Cass, he'd totally go Angry Murder Dad for her as well, but it wouldn't destroy him like losing Galois would. (it might have been different if he was lying to himself about Cass's origins as well, but he still lies to himself and says she isn't his daughter)
If Cass is still alive and Galois is dead, then the world would end. Instantaneously. She'd explode like the birth of a star.
It would also kill Splinter. Not right away, he'd live long enough to get revenge on Draxum and everyone who contributed to his son's death, but he'd end himself not long after. He wasn't lying when he said he couldn't lose another kid. That also applies to losing the same kid twice. Losing Donnie the first time almost killed him as it was.
(Leo ramble under the cut because I went way off the rails-but fuck it I wrote the end scene of the next chapter in one sitting today I am allowed to go a little insane)
I'm hesitant to go all 'two halves of the same whole, twins can't live without each other' because we literally have proof that Leo can live without Donnie. We don't know how long Donnie's been dead by the point the movie starts-Leo having his bandana wrapped around his sword implies that it wasn't very recent, while Casey's familiarity with Donnie and the fact that his gear is certified GeniusBuilt shows that his death must have happened when Casey was old enough to remember him, or even after Casey started training and Donnie built weapons to suit his fighting style. So Leo's probably been without Donnie for at least a couple of years at that point. And he is still kicking ass and serving cunt, in his very homosexual way-though he does kind of have a whole-ass kid to raise and the resistance to live for, which he doesn't have in doth. And even in the movie, Future Leo throws himself into a Krang incineration beam rather than return to the past with Casey and live without the family he's lost. And there's the whole deal with Leo sacrificing himself so there's no chance whatsoever of living to see his brothers die.
I just don't see Leo being able to move on from something like that. Knowing his brother died pointlessly, maybe even painfully, never remembering who he was. There would be no closure, no point to start moving on. I talked about this with another fic author, the whole thing about fulfilling vs. unfulfilling deaths in media, and I think Future Donnie's death is as good as any to talk about that.
Like, let's talk about Replica's Donnie. He died epicly. In the midst of battle, sacrificing himself to plant a spy probe, and even got in some snappy comments to Prime (and maybe killing him too? I'd have to reread) before ending his own life. From his family's perspective, yes, it felt pointless and awful and they would much rather Donnie back than whatever bullshit he sacrificed himself for. And it's tragic for the audience, but it still feels satisfying. Donnie went out on his own terms, for a cause, in a literal blaze of glory. We see his family mourn, but we also see Leo receive some measure of closure from Omega telling him how proud Donnie always was of him. And crying right after-but as he tells Casey a frame later, he felt just a little better.
Or a more subtle example in Cass's series. Donnie's (temporary) death is none of that. He dies weakened to the point where he can't even stand up on his own, he dies quietly and he dies slowly. It was heartbreaking-like, bitch, I cried, but I don't think a single person would call it unsatisfying. Even with his quiet, demure death, so undeserving of him and his awesomeness, there was still a sense of satisfaction in the fact that he was such a threat that the Krang had to resort to such tactics to kill him. (and that he stuck it to them one final time, outliving their expectations and coming back to fuck them up when they thought they were safe, he had to be dead) And in the end, he's accepted his death, he tied up all his loose ends and feels ready to go. He dies peacefully, spending his final moments feeling his brothers' love for him. His brothers get to hold him and say goodbye. Yes, they're in mourning, but they show hints of healing and moving on-until Mikey finds out that Donnie's spirit isn't with their ancestors. That pulls the wound right back open, and Leo doesn't really seem to move on from there.
Having Donnie die as Galois I think would be a lot like that for Leo. Raph, Mikey, and even April would find ways to move on-after getting their revenge, of course, but they would use Donnie's memory to drive them forward. "Plant this tree because Donnie would have liked that." "Buy only produce from sustainable farming practices for my restaurant because Donnie would have approved." "Get that degree because Donnie would have kicked my ass if I didn't."
I don't think Leo would be able to do that. I think he'd feel very lost, with a lot of rage and sorrow and no real direction for any of it, no drive to find an outlet and get his life back on track. Maybe he wouldn't outright shoot himself, but he'd stop caring about keeping himself alive.

It's just. Agh.
It's the fact that so much has happened since Roier and Cucurucho / Osito first met, there's so much frustration and disappointment with Cucurucho and the Federation itself, yet Roier still cares about and trusts his Cucurucho to some degree. He was still willing to stand at the top of the castle and let himself fall because he was so certain his Osito would appear and come save him.
But he didn't.

(i saw a take i disagreed with and i am being so brave and making my own post about it)
i don’t think that edward “learned his lesson” at the end of new moon, and bella would have every right to be upset with him, even though she canonically isn’t.
i understand the urge to say, “the suicidal character decided to give life another chance, he shouldn’t be yelled at.” but the way it’s written...
a) edward didn’t actually decide to give life another chance? he’s still planning on dying when bella does, the same way he has been all along. he just found out that bella isn’t dead yet. because, as with every depiction of mental health in this godforsaken series, it’s not actually about mental health, it’s about adding stakes to the romance.
b) edward didn’t learn jack SHIT about anything else either!!! he shows up, tells bella “i can’t believe you believed me when i told you i didn’t love you anymore referencing your deepest insecurities in our relationship!”, blames her for her own mental health issues, goes straight back to controlling her / raging about the same issue that caused him to leave at the start of the book (her potentially becoming immortal), is an asshole about the wolfpack, and if we look at eclipse is even more controlling and manipulative afterward. the only “lesson” he learns is that he and bella shouldn’t be apart, which is the absolute worst lesson to take from the suicidal breakdown you have bc you’re in a codependent relationship.
b) hmm. i am not in any way trying to be insensitive; suicidal thoughts are real and miserable to experience and a suicide attempt is not something to be treated lightly, even in fiction (STEPHENIEEEEEE), and people deserve support and encouragement in continuing to live. but...that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be held accountable for their actions. in edward’s case, especially by bella, (who for the record ALSO just attempted suicide, that’s literally what sparked his attempt). and yeah maybe yelling at him isn’t the most trauma-informed therapeutic approach or whatever but? she is not edward’s support system. (they’re in this situation in the first place because edward invested too much of his mental wellbeing in his idea of her!) she is his ex-girlfriend, who he manipulated, abandoned (literally traumatizing her), and then attempted suicide, requiring her to literally save his life while still believing he hated her. at this point in canon they aren’t even back together yet! she has every right to be angry with him, to yell at him if she wants, and to set whatever boundary she needs to. and yeah i sympathize with edward. his situation sucks, and he clearly needs help. but bella is not obligated to give it to him, and she is not obligated to ignore the ways he hurt her, just because he’s suffering. and again, she could do it in a kind way, but she doesn’t have to. it’s a complicated and messy situation, and she deserves to be complicated and messy!

thinking about the people who have died by suicide, those who left a note that no one got to read. friends and family who say there were no warning signs; the deceased rolling over in their grade, i tried to tell you so many times.

guess whose therapist thinks she could benefit from inpatient treatment
#got really depressed and a bit suicidal during my session today#im not actively suicidal rn but i feel so hopeless and i just want to give up resulting in some suicidal thoughts#the thoughts of hurting myself are getting louder and more overwhelming#so im not at a point rn where i think i need inpatient but im worried about getting worse#im going to nyc this weekend and seeing 2 shows and some of my favorite broadway actors but i do not feel excited#i want to feel excited but i just dont. i should be excited. if this doesn't make me feel something#then i doubt anything will.#reminds me of late may/early june when i wasnt excited for my birthday or the taylor swift concert because i did not want to live anymore#im worried that this is a warning sign. i feel like ive made so much progress with treatment in the last 10 months#but i feel like i haven't made enough progress and i feel like ive hit a wall and there's no improvement to be made#because I've tried like everything. i feel so hopeless. ive been in treatment for almost a year.#even inpatient i doubt would help me. like ive been there and done that. i spent nearly 20 days in inpatient last summer#only benefit would be seeing my doctor sooner but that's assuming i could even get a bed in the 11 person unit she works inpatient at#what benefit would seeing my doctor even do? we've tried almost everything and im on the max dose of most my meds#idk what to do#i feel like im running out of options. the only depression treatments i havent tried are ketamine and ect#i guess my options are ketamine ect suicide or continuing feeling how i feel now but i dont know how much longer i can live like this

The idea of having to tag my more upsetting posts puts me off from being open about it with people. I hate that.
