I'm not suicial now, but I have seen doctors about this in the past.

I was suicidal because I felt like my life had no control. The way this has was treated is to have me committed, where I have to spend the little energy I have convincing people I'm normal and sane so they'll let me go, and I will regain the control of being at least capable in theory to take my life. I come out of it much worse than how I came in.

I would love a good doctor, or even an understanding person to talk to. It's easy to snap your fingers and prescribe that, but for some people it feels hopeless to realize you may never get it.

It's called a downward spiral for a reason. One of my life goals, if I can get to it, would be to dismantle the terrible mental health infrastructure of the Western world and replace it with science and compassion.

Good job of scaring someone away from getting actual medical advice rather than the fucking bullshit being spewed in this thread.
