I have a piece of loving advice to the chronically suicidal people out there - stop telling everyone every day that you want to die.
Don’t try to get them to save you or care about you by sharing all your suffering on repeat. Doesn’t work well.
You’d be surprised how many people would love to support you and interact with you when it doesn’t require them to constantly imagine your death.

Trump: "I do not want to lose as your representative $90 billion for the privilege of allowing Canada to have a healthcare system and other things that they shouldn't be having"
