Fear of losing friends to suicide

shortstuff

Most of my friends are somewhere on the spectrum; have adhd; the spicy AuADHD combo or/and are LGBTQIA+. I have already had a friend attempt during Uni and I am seeing suicide threats on my facebook news feed pop up. My best friend also came out as trans recently and she is depressed. I can't stand this.

  • I have experience of friends ending their own life, was a witness to one on the London UndergrounD and have made four attempts myself. Im confident there will be no more having understood and being diagnosed with ASC. Im on a Samaritans consultation panel where Im one of a large group with lived experience who they consult on issues around media releases, reports, suicude news for example, its a real privilege to be able to use my own dark experiences to help others 

    Re facebook - Ive gained almost complete control over the algorithm and nothing triggering in this context reaches me but nevertheless I still find its incessance to be a problem and am currently on s break from it having deactivated my account 

    The evidence of how social media is contributing to the global deterioration in mental health is becoming overwhelming, especially among young people, but as yet the large tech corporations are resisting serious change, hopefully though things will improve as happened with smoking and the tobacco companies
