>>211973877 (OP)I’ve been annoyed by suicidal ideations on and off since I was a teenager. For better or worse, I have always been able to avoid taking them very seriously—they’re just intrusive thoughts in the form of unpleasant fantasies rather than plans or urgent needs. Even at my worst moments I’ve always known that I’m never going to actually do it. I’ve lost people to suicide, so I have a very personal sense of the damage it can do to those left behind; it’s not a choice I can respect, despite also understanding that the people who choose it often don’t even perceive it as a choice, but a need. It’s horrific for them.But not just for them. So I keep it at bay.
