    Not to mention positive images can make things worse. It can be seen as "Here is the life you'll never have." or "This is all you have to look forwards to" which can be depressing if the positive things pictured aren't actually desirable to you. It can just make you feel worse and more alone.

        suicide prevention, actual competent suicide prevention, starts with acknowledging that everything is awful, and maybe it is the right thing to do.

            yes. then you go to "lets make sure there are no other solutions, go over it, then, if we can't find anything, yeah it might be time to go"

            most of the time people are looking for connection, and starting with the socially prescribed script and ridgid socially prescribed values (from the society that likely caused all this pain in the first place and likely seem inescapable) pushed onto someone in such a way as to deprive them of any choice but the last one, that's, like; the literal stupidest thing you can do.
