Interesting stats here. Suicide rates appear to be highest in quickly developing countries, and countries with major internal strife or economic downturn. Also, countries that are see as “epicenters” of suicide may not actually as bad as countries with lower populations. One worrying thing is that the international suicide rate is rising, I believe (don’t quote me on that), and there’s a bunch of reasons for it, but a lot of “developed” countries are struggling with ways to combat the rise.
If you or anyone you know may be at risk for suicide never hesitate to find or ask for help. You are human, your allowed to have emotions, make mistakes, feel down, etc., but it’s your ability to overcome that with the help of others that makes humans truly unique. Should a user or even guest on this forum ever feel they “cant go on”, “are losing faith in themselves as a person”, “are feeling lost”, “are feeling forgotten”, “is going to end it”; don’t not hesitate to contact me. I’ve helped prevent suicides before, and have almost been the cause of a potential suicide. I myself once thought about suicide, but I was lucky enough to have a support system around me, that stopped me before I did anything terrible. I will go great lengths, and people who’ve been on here a while should know this, to prevent a tragedy. Your life matters to me whether you think so or not. Your just a friend I haven’t gotten to know yet, but would love to get to. If you ever feel like I said something that really made think negatively please contact me. I will immediately work to stop that habit, and take those words out of my vocabulary. Again, life is great. It can rough. It can be fun. It can be dark and sad. It can be wonderful and happy. You matter. My PM, DM, social media, email, text, and phone are always available should you need someone.
