Reply to comment by DuckonaWaffle in TIL that calls directed to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline rose by 27% after the release of 1-800-273-8255 by American rapper Logic. by Sun_Aria

Have either of you had any professional training in counseling a suicidal individual? Have you any credentials in supporting people at risk ? I have, and do., and speak from experience.

These are not lies, but rather proven trends. A Gallup Research Poll of individuals who have attempted suicide clearly indicates that 96% of respondents indicate they were at a low point when considering suicide, and things rebound for the better shortly after they pass that low point. “Things will change” is not only a viable promise, it is also a certainty. (One could argue that change is inevitable in any state, but besides from that, >95% of those who attempt suicide state that this is exactly what they experience after the attempt.)

If you , or someone you know, might be considering suicide, please pause. More than 95% of people who attempt suicide and survive report immediately regretting the attempt. Things will change. Things WILL get better. Talk to someone.

If you are Logic, consider a comeback with an international album— lyric concepts below.

If your country isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean someone to talk to isn’t available, it just means I couldn’t find a single national hotline for your country. Many countries have support numbers by region or city; search for help in your location using any search engine. But please, spend a few minutes talking to someone before you make a irreversible decision- you have nothing to lose by talking.
