Faggot: "CMD, not all therapists happily push emotionally vulnerable people into suicide."

Typical SS post:

Y'know what? Mastodon people deserve to see this too, it gets the hashtags.

Honestly if you think that suicide prevention is best done with therapists and meds, then you're throwing lambs to wolves.

2ct:

if this is true, what should the therapist have said instead: "oh no anon, you have to take your meds despite serious side effects which make you even more depressed!!1", "oh no anon, you can't mull over the idea to kys at some distant point in the future!!1"?

which _again_ feeds into the learned helplessness. ffs, the first thing anon went to is a shitty internet forum of people circlejerking about their shit lives and how they can't probably change things. completely missing the point that anon manages to do fitness and go to therapy. can't undo a lifetime of shit in half a year.

imo the only sane thing is to say that anon has to decide these things for themself - given the sucidality isn't acute which in this case it doesn't seem to be.

@bonifartius >what should the therapist have said instead
Almost anything other than "Yeah I think the suicide thing is a good option which you should keep on the table." Including literal silence.

>ffs, the first thing anon went to is a shitty internet forum of people circlejerking about their shit lives and how they can't probably change things.
A third of the forum is about non-conventional recovery options.

>completely missing the point that anon manages to do fitness and go to therapy. can't undo a lifetime of shit in half a year.
Only the first one of those is any good for him.
