Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Therapy and medication can help a lot of people, but everyone's mental health works differently and nothing is a cure-all.

Maybe they tried and it didn't work or maybe they got a bad therapist - while there are many good therapists out there, there are also bad ones.

While they each might have made a clear and rational decision to commit suicide, I very much doubt it. And we have no real way of knowing if there were any particular triggers.

And just because somebody has the resources, that doesn't mean they'll choose to seek help. Some people think they can handle on their own. Some are ashamed. Some think it just isn't that bad, right up until it is. Some people cannot fathom how it will help them. And there are other reasons.

This. I have chronic depression. The way it affects me, 90% of the time I'm "okay" in that I feel aimless and numb and feel no motivation to live but also feel no particular motivation to die. Then eventually it gets worse and I'm actively suicidal for a time.

I made the decision to start therapy while I was "okay". I don't even think she was a bad therapist, just a really bad match for me. We hardly made any progress and eventually I'd be crying in her office every time because I felt like such a failure, I couldn't even do therapy right. Eventually I'd have weekly panic attacks about going. Eventually I developed suicidal thoughts, ABOUT THERAPY. Could I have found a better therapist? Probably. But my depression was telling me that this was only my fault.

I stopped going, but I genuinely think that if I had kept seeing her a little longer, or if I'd been in a worse place when I started... yeah, I probably wouldn't be here to type this comment.

(Just in case this reads that way: I'm not trying to scare anyone off from seeking help. I had a bad experience. Many have good ones.)

I think many people do get something from it, but some people are going have bad experiences. I'm sorry that you had one. I am glad that you are still here and that you were able to stop something that was causing you so much distress.
