Suicide is never ever the option

We deserve life affirming care, not administration of death.

This is prob gonna sound like it makes no sense, but I agree with this philosophically but not in practice. We were put into this life against our will and if it's only bringing us pain I feel like we should ideally have a humane and respected way to remove ourselves from it. But in reality I don't know who normalizing this would really help. So many people come to appreciate life after being suicidal. More suicides than people think are actually just the result of a really bad day

I feel like that’s kind of selfish. What about the what the person wants?

And organizations like sanctioned suicide have encouraged a lot of people to take their own lives, surely some of which had a chance of recovering. Mental illness makes it very hard to make a rational decision as to whether your life is worth living. You can be fully convinced that it'll never get better, only for it to actually get better. People who are set on dying will prob always find a way to do it, normalized or not. I don't think we should demonize them but we prob shouldn't enable them
