I support “death with dignity” to avoid a prolonged traumatic natural death that is inevitable… but I can’t feel secure supporting assisted dying for non-terminal conditions. If we normalize that at all, we’re opening up the door for a profit-driven medical and insurance industry to literally encourage people to die as a cost saving measure. I feel like our ableist society will support not “wasting” treatment on anyone who is “too crazy”. That’s incredibly bleak. We need to remove stigma and shame around talking about suicidal ideation, and we need MUCH better mental healthcare in general. And ultimately, people can make their own choice to go using a painless and non-violent method. But we should not get the government or corporations involved. 😬

you guys are awsome. this story is so cute and informative. thank you for sharing

This is the best, most honest, most open conversation I’ve ever listened to about suicide. Thank you so much for doing this! Thank you so much for helping me get this burden off my shoulders. I’m sure I’m not the only one here.

~17:20 "There are better people for both of us" What the hell Rob? Definitely adding THAT clip in my compilation. Absolutely evil sociopath that he is...

She has the most incredible support and resources of a serious mental health Issue. It shows the difference

Most families and friends get tired of mentally ill and count u out. American Mental health cares is for the upper class.

My problem is asking for accommodations but my supervisor feeling like it’s not needed for my job. I asked twice and she kept saying it’s not needed. I have always had accommodations. I can’t do to HR without my supervisors approval

Having personal space, is one thing that helps. Having management who take the reasonability as leaders seriously. Not just talking the leadership role for the extra pay. Jobs that has a no harassment policy and actually mean it. That's one of my biggest triggers. Witnessing my coworkers and managers bad mouth each other. Makes it difficult me to feel safe. Being able to communicate with management without the conversation being spread around the work place.

Why do i not trust Rob whatsoever. 😂 Him always making snide comments "Oh, she pointed at me for the record when she said highs", well i fn hope so she's your wife???? Why did he make note of that for the viewers? Why does he feel the need to clarify that he's a 'good' guy you've dated??

*No.* *In most cases, I have found it to be a waste of time and money.*

It's difficult to say who is mentally ill in the workplace and who is not. It's difficult to say who needs special accommodations and who does not. "Working from home" is special needs accommodations unless you are married with children and a stay at home mother or housewife.

I was 21 when I wrote a suicide note, that said(I'm done). Addressed it to my mom. I was being abused. Had been abused by so many different people, through out the years and forced to hide it.. Couldn't take it anymore. Didn't have a plan. Then I realized they didn't have a exclamation for way. So I took the note off the door and I kept writing. I wasn't able to stop. For 6 months I wrote each day and night. When I felt I had run out of things to say I gave the letters to my mom on a Tuesday night. Asked her to read them. She responded to the letters the same as she did me. She ignored them. Pushed them to the side. Each passing day I asked her if she read them. She would say no and tell me to leave her alone about those letters. I don't feel like reading no letters! I said to her. For all you know, I could have been telling you I was going to kill myself! Well son if you going to kill yourself, there's nothing yo' momma could do to stop you!. There's plenty you can do if you actually cared! She finally read the letters on Sunday morning. She shunned me. Gave the letters back. Then days later, she acted as if they were never written. I continued to add to the letters over the next 9 years. One of the poems was published in a book in 2006. The poem is titled (know Me) book (poems of the heartland.

I’m dating now too and I’ve fallen in love… Something i never thought was possible. ❤

Another excellent video. I can relate to so much of your stories. Thanks for your honesty and openess it does really help 🙏🦋 xx

I keep having suicidal thoughts, but the thought of rebirth in a worse situation/body is stopping me.

I don't know if you'll notice this comment or have energies/time to reply to it, but I'll try anyways. One question I have is, when you are close to someobody who has a big burden on himself, one thing that might happen is that you can help him/her, but he/she might not be able to be there for you for a long period of time. How do you deal with it? I mean, if one of the two people of the couple suffers, he or she will probably be able to give less, so there will probably be a lack in reciprocity. Is there a way you can restore reciprocity in this situation?

I think some of the very reasons people commit suicide is because they truly feel alone, misunderstood and there is no one on earth they feel they can relate to and the very reason they want to die is because people in their lives in their orbit are the problem.

Suicide rates in the USA are probably higher then they should be. It's intentional. The problem is the HIPAA laws and no longer accepting clinical and third person reporting. All service providers are paid to turn away services The person going through the psychotic episodes are having trouble, needs to advocate for themselves and they're not getting help. Having worked in the. USA mental health industry as a director of a psychiatric halfway house, I will venture to say that it's actually worse in the USA because of a lot of our medications, food additives, extremely unhealthy lifestyles are absolutely contributing to the suicide rates. The hopelessness in other countries may be contributing to their rates, but medications like singulair, allergy meds, antidepressants are making it worse in the USA - we have plenty of evidence. It's been there for decades.

My son seemed perfectly normal to us. But within 3 months after having issues with his friends, he went on a downward spiral and unexpectedly committed suicide. Because we weren't expecting or watching for signs of this, we never had the opportunity to speak to him, which would have 100% been enough for him (and us) to have a happy life. It's a different situation for us than most others who had the opportunity to intervene. Unfortunately we were not good enough as parents to see through the deflection, and his friends never let us know what was going on.

I give myself two years if things don't get better

No one loves me. No one will miss me when I'm gone

Right to die needs support!

In the comments it talks about everyone being on board with assisted dying. Are we promoting suicide? I think the word commit is OK. When you’re more worried about words than saving someone’s life I’m very scared. I want to live and want to find a reason to live and you’re pushing videos that push suicide and is more concerned about words. That’s very upsetting.

Thank you

Hey I thank you for this podcast I was diagnosed with psychosis 7 years ago and it was a journey to go thorough it the good and the bad but recently I been struggling with a thought where I think that my brother who has psychosis is doing small aggressions toward me and like cracking his knuckles toward me or getting annoyed towards me or close the door by the time I get there i don't know what's going on so can anyone please help me thank you

do not call 988. they just send cops and make shit worse

Death is a gift,.. life is punishment and suffering. Wanting to die is seeing the truth. Life is not worth living in modern times.

I am am struggling with suicidal thoughts

no way to "get comfortable' I had a mother who threatened and alluded to suicide ALL OF MY LIFE ! ALL OF MY CHILDHOOD !! and into my middle age when I was in my fifties! The threats and semi-attempts never stopped.

I have dealt with suicide thoughts for 13 years and not always it was a sick thinking, I guess. it was more on a philosophical way, if I may, when I was not sad but still had the knowledge I acquired during these times that manly is: life does not make sense and if I could choose, I wouldn't be alive, even if I'm not willing to end things right now. that is to say that I have never found someone that shared this same thought about the right to die and kinda of to choose when it will occur. if one can choose when to eat, to sleep, to do anything, why not when to die? right now I have not have a suicide thought for over a year (which I have never believed it was possible), but I still believe in keeping this as an option for the future instead of shaming people and making it super wrong to not want to live. as I said, suicide thinking doesn't happen only when your literally depressed, your life can just suck and you can be tired of trying to get it better. we shouldn't blame the individual. as a society we need to fight agaisnt suffering and providing better quality of life, but as we have our flaws, we can only embrace people that doesn't want to be here. thank you so much for this conversation and for your vulnerability!

Rather than being given accommodations, I would thrive if shown a little mercy. If I’m not performing to my full potential on a really bad day or week or month, it would be lovely to hear, “I noticed that you missed a deadline yesterday. This really isn’t like you. Are things okay?” instead of diving straight into an admonishment like, “It is never acceptable to miss a deadline, and I’m extremely disappointed.” The first approach shows a recognition that I’m human, and that there’s not something inherently wrong with me. The second approach assumes that I don’t already understand that I shouldn’t miss a deadline, and also drives home the guilt I feel for not being able to function at 100%. I don’t want to be coddled, but I do want to be respected. I wish there were a good way to say, “Look, I was making plans to die last night, so just waking up this morning was a complete miracle….”

People are scared of despair. Support is never met when you share such thoughts

I recently went on dates with someone and their reaction to mental health issues was disparaging, however i looked over that and i came to my senses it would'nt fufill long term and i didnt need to disclose my bpd& bipolar diagnosis anyway i ended contact new years eve. Anyway turns out he was the uncle of my next door neighbour totally unprepared to see that and unsoubtedly affects the relationship with my neighbour. However when i told him no to mental health issue due to really not having a future i saw i eventually was outed by the neighbour of my mental health. Like even if this conflictive issues i still have the right to protwct my mental health.

That was very good. I've always been happy to express how I feel provided I sense some genuine concern. However, no one has ever asked me how they can help me. Also, very few ask me to describe how I really feel. Most show a passing concern but clearly don't want to know anymore - possibly because they feel ill equipped to help or possibly because they don't care enough. You can't do much if people don't care but people certainly can learn how to 'equip' themselves, especially with the internet at their disposal.

Hiding it for me was because the therapist intake forms all state they are required to inform the police. At work after Anthony Bordain, they sent a company wide email telling folks to reoort any employee expressing suicidal ideation to security. AND if you disclose it to insurance your rates go up and you become less eligible for legitimate life insurance even though your ideation maybe resolved when it’s determined that the root cause was from another illness/issue like sleep apnea or hypothyroidism

I am scared to tell my doctor or therapist because I dont want to be placed in a mental hospital

It’s hard to think anyone wants to support you after multiple therapists dismiss EVERY relationship in your life as toxic.

I have schizoaffective disorder (depressive bipolar element) and for me one thing I do is use touch to ground myself. I will play with my fingers or rub my feet on my sheets or something along those lines. I have also found that for me when I focus on studying textures or patterns I feel more grounded. These things can be nice because I have the ability to touch and see things a lot throughout my day wherever I go. Thank you for all your videos. I have been finding them to be very helpful.

I believe that even those with suicidal ideation still want to be alive, they want to live. The problem is that, for some, the suffering and pain is too great and makes staying alive a viable option. And oftentimes they have exhausted many possibilities for healing and have sought out lots of help. ❤

I dated a guy at 17 and was in a long term relationship we’ve broken up and now I’m single and 25 and diagnosed schizoeffective.. wild.

I called a crisis line and they told me I must want to live bc I’m calling them. Um, no. I never call them anymore.

A person can want to commit suicide that is not depressed. More people who have attempted suicide need to talk. A lot of So called Dr's dont even know what hey are talking about. And here in Texas in 2023 even if you tell a educated RN because you cannot find a Dr. People need to wake up in tge nation about Mental Health. If you do ask fir help you are treated less then human really making you want to die.

I appreciate this video, and the fact that you actually had experience on the subject, you knew what it feels like to be in that moment of total despair. My daughter was a meth addict, had gone through treatment, she was experiencing these demonic voices, tormenting her, telling her to commit suicide, among other tormenting issues, we prayed together, the drugs were not helping her, the hospitals were not helping her, I didn't know how to help her as I did what I could but that was not giving her relief. She took her life. I am so lost, I knew she was suffering, but nothing seemed to take away or give her a break from these voices in her head. She had C-Ptsd, anxiety, had violence in her marriage, and childhood. She loved her children, her quality of life had diminished so much toward the end. I love her and miss her so much. I think that suicide education needs to be something that should be taught more, so it is not taken wrong or stigmatized, when someone needs help. Thank you for this video.

I appreciate you addressing this. I think it is important for people to have all the support they need but also be able to make their own informed decisions whatever they may be.
