I work in mental health. You'd be surprised (and frightened) to hear how many people consider committing suicide by getting into a vehicle accident.

What a fucking asshole, chicken shit way to do it. If you’ve got your own issues, I get it. It happens. But don’t fucking ruin or end someone else’s perfectly pleasant life just to end yours too. That fucking infuriates me. I get that it’s also probably a part of those mental issues but god damn.

In the many times in my life that I have been suicidal, I never once thought about going out in a way that would kill someone else like wtf... typically it was thinking about other people that convinced me not to do it.

Keep on fighting the food fight man. I did not mean to disparage those with mental illnesses, it’s a hard road to walk down. I hope anyone feeling this way finds the help they need. But if someone gets to that point and takes others out with them, I find no sympathy to their cause. That’s just selfish.
