Everyone has different mindsets, different thoughts and different situations. You can't really judge what they're going through.
They say it is a privilege. Those with no food, no housing, and no security tend to strive for them as if it's a matter of life and death... But people who already have it who strive for connections and self actualization and don't reach those things can be just as devastated despite the needs not being as immediately impotant. This perspective of suicide comes handy of Maslow's hierarchy of needs but if you take into account Some say that self-esteem is only built by being purposeful and seeing yourself as achieving a lot. Another one of my favourite psychologists whose perspective I like to use to understand suicide is Viktor Frankl. He basically says that we all imagine a narrative for ourselves, and how good or bad that narrative looks is effectively our self-esteem. While hormones and the weather and other things can dampen or lighten the elements of the narrative we remember, and smells and other triggers might raise specific memories, if we see a hopeless narrative. A negative influence on the world, etc. It can be hard to keep going no matter where you are in life. This, to me, shows the significance of gratitude exercises and of recording and focusing on our positive influences. The compliments peopld give us and so on. To reinforce the positivity of that narrative. And keep us from the blues.
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You, you may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world You, you may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will live as one IMAGINE THO
What made you want to make such a post? If you've never struggled with mental illness it's hard for anyone to speak on what others go through
