What is this “long history” you speak of? Point to it for me. Demonstrate you know what you’re talking about.
Believe me, I have no love of conservatives, but you still have to back up your points with facts.
It’s very easy to debunk Trump’s points with facts because he has none.
It is NOT difficult to kill yourself intentionally, at all.
I could go on, but I think I’ve been morbid enough.
Thankfully, suicidal impulses are just that: impulses. They are relatively short-lived (10-20 minutes on average) and then they pass. You may still be depressed, but the urge to end it all is no longer there, for most people. One of the best things you can do when you’re feeling suicidal is just to go to sleep. When you wake up, you’ll likely feel better. The vast majority of people who attempt suicide and live regret it almost immediately, and most of them do not attempt it again.
However, there are people who enter long suicidal states, where they’ve genuinely made up their mind to end their lives. With these people, no matter what the psychiatric intervention is, short of permanently restraining them, they will almost always find a way to kill themselves. The truth is you cannot stop a person who is truly intent on ending their life. And I for one am very thankful for that, because living should always be a choice. We should not be in the business of forcing people to live torturous, agonizing lives from which there is no real escape or remedy. Everyone should have the option of “getting off the ride” if they so choose. Ultimately, it’s no one’s business but their own.
