I’ve lost 3 men in my life to suicide, 1 very close and very recently. What resources can I engage with to help. Literally what can I do, outside of generic advice, what’s an action I can proactively take. Are suicide hotlines still a thing? Is being an operator on there possible and what qualifications are there.
This is going to sound dark but it saved a few lives.
Embrace the truth that depression is trying to tell you and you are now free to do anything.
Punch a shark, go skydiving, enjoy those moments that you denied yourself and nothing remains to be afraid of because they are all safer than suicide.
Let go of who you thought you were; that is not you now and you need to become the self that you need to be.
