Suicide Things

[Troy Spiral (13)]

There are three female suicide attempts for each male attempt.

There are four male suicides for every female suicide.

There are an estimated 8 to 25 attempted suicides to 1 completion.

Excerpt from the article Torn Linked

I don't talk about it a lot these days, as I've reached the point where it feels like a lifetime ago. Healing was a long and grief-stricken process. There were times when I felt very alone in my grief and there were times when I felt lost and confused. The trouble with suicide is that no one knows what to say. No one knows how to react. So they smile and wave and attempt distraction... but they never ever say the word. The survivors, it seems, are often left to survive on their own.

This isn't a "either they are going to do it or they are not" its a VERY cureable problem, but it takes some effort.

Male suicide attempts also don't take into account risky male behavior where the deaths aren't labelled as suicide, like car accidents or accidental overdoses.

This is probably one of the best youtube channels on male mental health: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbbeOA5K7Hhc3I2vWG1jZ0w
