I just really hope he called it, I know people always say "oh its fake if they're asking about it on a game" but even the fact that it's on their mind enough to ask for "tips" or give a final goodbye bothers me. Life is a precious thing and people that haven't been in that situation honestly can never understand fully what it feels like to be in such a dark place in life. The suicide prevention hotline is there to help, they won't judge you or shame you.. So if anyone reading this has ever just needed someone and has felt alone, please know that you're not. 1 800-273-8255 even if you feel like there's no hope please call..
Just one comment, that number is for America though. A quick google will give the relevant helpline for your country if you're outside the USA

Suicides a serious thing and shouldn't be joked about. But when people ask for tips like Caspar said it can come across as attention seeking. And if he is actually serious then he needs help. And Omar, suicide isn't actually that complicated, i hope this doesn't sound horrible but all it takes is a jump over a bridge etc then you're a goner. People shouldn't make permanent choices for a temporary problem.
well ive been here long enough to knw such ppl are just attention **** regardless of what topic they use, i still remeber lucy and i bet many still do, so im pretty sure that guy is just same
exactly so with google around why he would come to a game to asl for tips, if he was serious he would have just checked the imternet plus u dnt nees tips fr suicide , there are hundread way to do so
I hate how we say "you need to find help" and stuff but as soon as someone asks for it, we shoot them down as attention seeking. No wonder so many people keep it hidden until it's too late. If anyone needs help with depression feel free to message me, trust me I have the experience.
What I understand about what Omar is trying to say is that if someone truly needs help, they wouldn't be asking on a game with randoms they don't even know. They would be more likely to secretly find help (like on google) or confront extremely close friends or family. Coming out and admitting you have something like depression would not be easy, so I highly doubt anybody would do so on a game carelessly. Yes, you're right thought there is always a possibility some may do this, but it isn't the most likely way to handle the situation.
Exactly, whether they are 'begging for attention' or being completely serious. You give them helpful advice, not tips on how to kill themselves. Because, if they were being serious that can affect them badly.
