Isn't that what mental health clinics are for?

We have the worst mental health clinic. They throw you in a tiny cell and look at you through windows.
Not like the nice ones you see in Scotland, where you get raped. |
Bedlam.

people just stagnate inside many mental institutions in this country. the staff are often irritable, incompetent or generally unfriendly, and in some cases, unnecessarily forceful. patients with minor illnesses are thrown in with seriously disturbed and sometimes violent individuals, and some people shouldn't even be there. like the elderly that are slipping into senility, or those that have no home to go to and are stuck there, even though they no longer require treatment. i wish i was making this up.
they need to take a long, hard look at the whole system. a few 'fully cured' patients released every year does not make up for the people that have been in there for years and end up pushed to the side to make way for new, easier-to-treat patients. they get worse. |
There is nothing waiting for any of us on the other side, only complete and total oblivion. We no longer sense anything, we can no longer experience anything. Finality.
I know I'm thanatophobic, but still, listen to me. Don't do it. There is no alternative. There is nothing waiting for us when it ends. Even if there is, wouldn't you rather give yourself as much time as you can before you HAVE to find out? Hyperventilating, need to stop now. This topic terrifies me enough as it is. You're all so morose and angsty. Quit talkin' about death so much. My 1 & 1/2 cents. |
This may be a shitty analogy, but saying nothing is after death probably wont stop people. Think of it like a math problem, I assume a suicidal person views their life as a -5 or something, and death as 0, so it becomes an improvement.

Ill probly never be selfish enough to kill myself, but im pretty sure id do it if I didnt have anyone who cared about me. Either that, or I'd start treating the world as a sandbox game and just do crazy shit.
