i despise needlessly gendered posts.

tw for mentions of SUICIDE/SH

i saw one raising suicide awareness and it EXCLUSIVELY used she/her pronouns.

“if someone you love is pushing away. She could be planning to kill herself.”

like uhh…this applies to all genders and nongendered ppl…??

everyone CAN have suicidal ideation. SO WHY TF DO YOU GENDER A POST LIKE THAT??

OH AND ALSO while it may not seem like it now there is always a future for you so while your actions may seem pointless no matter how small or how big they are a step towards something you can definitely have a path towards getting better, and you already want to get better and that is a lot more than most people! and it may be hard getting out of bed and doing anything at all, but youll appreciate yourself being able to do it. and vitamin d also helps, if you dont wanna go outside or if you just cant getting some gummy vitamins might help as well what your going through is valid the world sucks ass but you cant let the fat ass of a president win by letting another queer life leave this earth so you gotta prove everyone wrong when they say something bad about you

and yes i know my grammer sucks.... WE LOOK PAST THAT

-your soon to be buddy

Thank so much for the advices and support. I actually even messaged an anonymous suicide line a few days ago and it turned out that the only one that worked in my country (I’m not American) answered me by using AI and wanted to convert me into Christianity while I asked them 3 different times to give me some actual hygiene tips. Safe to say the advice they game me was mockingly unhelpful and just not for depression. But yeah it’s pissing me off that I had to look through 5 other “international” sui chats and none of them were actually available outside US.

Dr Robby from The Pitt - Suicidal Ideation in Media **SPOILERS AHEAD**

Okay, I'm adding my voice to this as someone who has been suicidal and has known many who have gone down that path, specifically as it relates to The Pitt's depiction of Dr. Robby as he begins to leave on his sabbatical, and how other people respond to his mannerisms.

It seems pretty obvious to me that Robby is suicidal. However, I see a lot of people focusing on his concentration on fixing everything before he leaves, wanting to make sure everything is ready for his departure, with some people saying he might have a chronic or terminal illness or something may be happening out of his control. Although it may seem to many like he is trying to delay his departure, it is actually extremely common for actively suicidal people to try to 'tie up loose ends'. This comes from a desire of many (including myself) of wanting to make sure they go out on a good note, sort of as a way of protecting those they love by leaving them with closure and good memories.

I've also seen some say that the show's handling of the response of the people around him, especially the younger residents and interns he has mentored since Season 1, but I think these are also very well-done. Many people, especially in a stressful situation like work or school, would easily dismiss his behavior as his usual self-sacrificial behavior or an extension of the dark humor that seems to be a regular occurrence in the Pitt.

It's dealt with directly in Robby's scene with Duke, briefly, as it relates to PTSD and traumatic events. I can't really weigh in on this piece of it, as I don't know anyone who has experienced this specific root of ideation. However, the way Duke handles the conversation is very good. He allows the conversation to be led by Robby, and is able to keep from bringing his own history too much into it and gets Robby to admit to his ideation. But they are interrupted by his work, and when his bike is fixed, Addams tries again. And again, Robby seems undeterred by his and Dana's worry about his health. He has clearly made up his mind, and at this point all he is doing is closing his open projects and preparing the hospital and those he cares about for his departure.

This is not perfect and I will likely add to it in the coming days as I finish the show (currently most of the way through S2E15). Please share your thoughts/start respectful discussion. The best way to prevent suicide is awareness.
