Can everyone actually stop writing self harm stories? It’s not that I find it triggering, but many other people do and I find it offensive that the only way people know how to add drama or thicken their plot is by adding in a suicide attempt. Do you even realize how sick that is? Unfollow me if you want, but i see it in over half of the stories that I read and it’s disgusting how people romanticize it. It’s not cute or moving to find your significant other or someone you care about half way to death, it’s fucking traumatizing and depressing. There are people that need to go to therapy after not only dealing with depression themselves, but PTSD from witnessing suicides and attempts.
Please just stop using suicide as a way to spice up your story as it is overused and a very uncomfortable topic for most. Thank you.
