Note: This is a stand-alone piece, but is also a continuation and elaboration on topics discussed in a prior post. Additionally, though the title likely implies as much, here’s a content warning for what will follow: discussion of suicide, self-harm, and depression.
Suicidal; or, Postponement is not Prevention
I want to lead off with a trigger and content warning. What follows is a frank discussion of suicidal ideation, depression, and both of these will be addressed with as much honesty and bluntness as I can manage. Do not read on if you are not in the right headspace to engage with such information; feel free to come back later, or not at all.
