Justice suicide or what else?

DaveAsperg

I have written here many times about the logic of my suicidal ideation.

the media have deliberately misrepresented the facts to make me look a terrible person. The police have convicted me for asking for help .
They tried to imprison me for 20;years with a scam website detail.

distraction advice has been the medical approach with nothing to support my campaigns against the police. Some on here also seem to write humiliating comments.

I have tried learning music, reading, exercise etc but my brain is always thinking about injustice and suicide.

done Samaritans training , mindfullness certificates, psychological actions ( but arrested for these)

injustice is a major cause of suicide I believe and police and autistic people are major victims 

feel I’m at the end of choices

  • Of course I know that 999 will increase humiliating effects as police have done and I have been a Samaritan and asked for their help thousands of times. They are nice people but like the wall they are just a listening service and refuse to do any thing else. That increases humiliations  ie makes things worse.

    What you've stated is the standard statement. I believe everyone who ends their life has found these services can't help

    Dave, what more are you expecting to get from the Samaritans? They are simply a listening service. Often staffed by public volunteers who's purpose is not to judge people, but to listen and provide balance to someone going through a difficult time. These people probably don't get a huge amount of training, they'd never be qualified as Counsellors. According to the UK information (unfortunately I haven't been able to find it yet on the US site), they have a safeguarding policy which is designed to help people who may hurt themselves or others, so to suggest that they will never call the emergency services, isn't accurate. I find that having someone to listen to me when I'm struggling is invaluable. Sometimes it's nice to simply unload my issues, other times I can gain a different perspective or even a solution by having a chat with someone who is effectively a stranger to me. Suicide is a very complicated topic, there is no standard response. But for many people, it's a momentary train of thought that can be changed. That is where the Samaritans are most helpful. If you are thinking about suicide on a regular basis, it's not the Samaritans you need, but a professionally trained counsellor and in extreme cases, medication.

    Samaritans are not trained to phone for help. My sister is one and sat on the phone with a young girl as she was dying. I can’t remember for sure but I don’t think they’re even allowed to phone emergency services unless the person asked them to and they gave their details etc
