Trigger Warning: Difficult Subject, su***de
Many people experience mental health challenges throughout their life. Sometimes it is due to an isolated situation, it can also be temporary, or a long term struggle. Anyone can experience passive su***de.
Passive Su***de is having thoughts of death, or su***de without an active plan to end your own life. It is something that should be taken seriously, even if there is no plan in place.
Some may not show any signs and may have become masters of masking their emotions and feelings. Some will show subtle signs unknowingly, and some you will notice are acting very differently or isolating themselves completely.
Some examples of passive su***de are: “I hope I die”, “they would be better without me”, “I’m a burden to everyone”, “I’m not going to bother wearing a seatbelt”, “I have no purpose”, “no one loves me anyways” and making jokes or passing comments about death, dying or killing themselves.
While this feels like a very hopeless place to be, there is help! You may need to simply talk (connection with a professional is important so don’t give up if you don’t have a connection the first time), talk to your doctor, and talk to someone who will listen and support you. It is surprising how many people care and want you here.
Just because there is no plan in place, doesn’t mean this couldn’t escalate. Also no one should feel like this! This is a hard place to be and sometimes we don’t want to talk to someone we know… that’s ok!
Dial or text 9-8-8 anywhere in Canada if you or someone you know is struggling with this.
Su***de affects too many people every year. Mental Health also affects too many people a year. While resources may seem very scarce, you matter and deserve help! 💕
Let’s not be afraid to help each other and talk about mental health.
