Honestly i think suicidal thoughts are perfectly healthy. When you feel like nothing in your life is in your control you naturally start looking for things you do have control over. The option of killing yourself is the bottomline starting point. "i can kill myself' is the first step. The only thing that is unhealthy is refusing to look beyond that. If you can open and close your fingers, type into a search bar 'how to kill myself' or even say nigger in private, then there are plenty of things in your control and its your fault for not making something better of yourself. People need to stop medicating and feeling bad for having suicidal thoughts, nothing wrong with it, just move past them instead of avoiding them. they are a starting point not an end point.
Exactly, and why I think the "suicide hotlines" etc. are harmful. If someone is suicidal, having someone who isn't afraid of that is the best thing. There's wisdom to be had and having your "listener" afraid of that will try to keep you from making insights, because they selfishly don't want you to exercise your agency.
Agency is a key word there, people feel suicidal not because they are sad but because they feel like they have no agency. No way to make themselves better, no way to fix their problems, no other options left. Honestly the most frustrating thing in life is being robbed of your agency, things like gamer rage or road rage come about becuase people get robbed of agency. Its the most infuriating thing and most people dont even realise the root cause.
