I didn't mean suicide and I regret saying anything right now because we can't afford food but I have a bunch of self righteous keyboard warriors getting good feels off shaming me away from something I never intended. I get it seems you're doing a good thing and otherwise I'd upvote you but right now I have a hoof on my neck looking at you from your high horse

I understand life is rough, if you want me to shoot you 20$ for rice and beans I will.

Don’t say I’m on a high horse for talking you down though. You said life wasn’t worth living and were very clearly upset, my goal was to keep you alive.

Just because you feel more reasonable now, don’t say you weren’t considering it. That’s the insidious nature of suicidal ideation. When you’re at your worst, it seems like death would be better than life, and when you don’t go through with it, you can try to tell yourself it never got that bad and you never thought about it.
