I personally think that people shouldn't be afraid to talk bout this topic. Death is something we all deal with. You can't avoid it forever and eventually, it will come to you too.
It really is a sensitive spot for everyone. Death is caused by many, many things; mental health, car accidents, old age, illnesses, etc. And every death is tragic.
In this chapter, we're gonna talk mostly about the one that is caused by mental health. Just because someone took their life, doesn't mean it's nothing. All of this matters.
It's actually amusing how people can be blind. Of course, not every time it's visible, but most of the time it really is. We all know someone who struggles mentally. And if not, you just don't know about it.
One really messed up thing is, that some religious people think, that taking your own life is a sin. It's something about faith, but it's really messed up. How is it a sin? I don't get it. People should watch their mouths, and even when said in the beginning of this chapter that it's wrong that we're not talking about this enough, there're some things you shouldn't say.
Like who do you think you are to say these things? It's not okay. If someone struggles, put your faith in the second place and help them. They won't be magically cured when they hear "God will help you, you just have to pray and hope he will hear you." like what? I'm not religious, as you can see, but I'm not against any religion. Just sometimes it's good to think with your brain and not hope in some sort of miracle.
Mental health is a really long chapter. I don't want this to be long so I'm just gonna say a few things to it. I know it's not easy. And it's ok to get some sort of help. It is possible to fight it and it is possible to win this fight. I know it's hard. I, in fact, struggle with it. And from my personal experiences, there're always gonna be people that are gonna hate on you for every little thing you do. But don't listen. You know what is happening to you, and even if you don't know, don't listen to them. Unless they are some sort of therapist or doctors.
I'm writing this for everyone. I'm waiting all this on January 7th and on this day, on the seventh day of this year there are about 20,500 people who took their own lives. It's crazy. Help them. Check on your friends and family. It's really needed.
-------------------------------------------------
AGAIN I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST RELIGION. JUST IT'S NOT NORMAL TO SAY THOSE THINGS I OFTEN HEAR SO PLEASE, IF YOU REALLY THINK LIKE THIS, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF SO YOU DON'T HURT ANYONE\
