For one reason or another suicide has been on my mind lately. And no, it’s not for the reason you’re probably thinking. It has more to do with perceptions, definitions and the stigma surrounding it, especially on-line. If you haven’t noticed, people use different words to describe death these days. No one says “killed” or “murdered” or “suicide,” instead they say “un-alived.” They do this to try and avoid being flagged/banned on social media or (my personal favorite), become “demonetized,” which sounds eerily similar to being “de-rezzed” in
I used to think Amy Winehouse was an asshole for killing herself with alcohol, I mean she was rich, talented and easy on the eyes. It was not until I started to go through my own turmoil that I understood that no matter how much you have or your accomplishments, that you just want that internal pain to go away.
I been to the psy-ward and it is something I rather forget, probably did more damage than help, they tried but it is not a good environment. For one I can understand why that would hurt a lot of people, the questions and guilt you would leave on others specially your loved ones would be pretty selfish on the other hand, I feel that I should at least have a say on the way I go if it is possible.
Yeah, it can be a delicate subject. The number of people who struggle with it is large and it's still wildly taboo and not talked about...unless you're famous. Then, they all talk about you...but not your suicide. Strange.
I sympathize with the turmoil. People have no idea. They think they do but they are clueless, especially these days.

Even worst when they give their asinine suggestions, like oh just do be sad or you tried doing this?
Mmmm...... Well no thank you, who would ever thought that just been happy would resolve my deep seated depression, thanks .......asshole
