Peoples hearts are in the right place when they post suicide hotline numbers and promise that theyll talk you through it, but the reality is that none of that stuff matters in the moment. People dont kill themselves to be selfish; they do it because they feel like a burden--to their family, friends, and community. When your brain chemistry works against you, no conversation is going to help you. Medication helps some. Laughing helps, if you can manage it. Ultimately, its up to the person in that moment to make the huge decision to live. Depression warps things. Your perspective and perception are off, so telling someone to chill out or learn to cope makes them feel like theyre weak and cant handle life. Youre just helping them convince themselves that theyre no good. Just something to consider.
