    “Suicide attempts are a mental health crisis. In that moment that person is not of a sound mind and incapable of making that decision.”

    That used to be the case for me as a kid. But lately it hasn’t been very emotional. I’m of completely sound mind. I just don’t particularly enjoy being alive anymore. Death seems peaceful. No pain, no taxes, no humans.

      A mental health crisis doesn’t need to be emotional. You’ve described acute depression.

      If you aren’t seeking it and can access healthcare do so. Things can get better. A lot in the world sucks, I won’t pretend that it doesn’t. But it all can be better even if it seems like it’s not.

      I’ve definently cried and held friends after a suicide attempt and cried when taking them to the hospital and cried again numerous times through the process. It was worth it at the end.

      Honestly I’d rather have people like you that realizes the flaws of the world around than people who think everything is great. Only those willing to acknowledge the flaws can work towards changing them. Doesn’t even have to be big just little stuff.

      Take care of yourself. I know it’s hard to believe a random person cares, but I do. I’ve seen this all play out too often in my short time here to not care
