Tristan Kate Smith is a Hero.
No need to glorify her death. This is sad and sad only. For her and those she left behind.
*an hero
stalkers.
Wut
*What?

She killed herself because, for her, there was no way out. There was no way out because of a system that abuses those that exist within it.

You’re either ignorant, or have no empathy.
This is the second time today I’ve run into this person spouting the same shit about suicide. They’re either a troll or someone who lacks all humanity or maybe both?
Probably both. Trolling used to be an art, now it’s just being an asshole.

Probably lost a loved one to suicide. I knew a guy who walked in on his dads brains blown all over the wall. I always see people act like suicide is heroic or brave. But the hurt they leave behind is hard to separate from. Suicide is a pretty selfish act because you hand off all the pain to everyone else. The friend of mine will suffer the rest of their life among the rest of the family who were left with cleaning up after that mess
I’m not disagreeing with the entirety of your sentiment but there’s a not-insignificant portion of people that commit suicide because they are in daily pain and anguish. Wouldn’t it be just as selfish to force this person to continue living simply so that those people don’t have to deal with the fact that they failed their loved one?
Sure… get help and all but why didn’t they help, then?

Honestly, not everyone has the means or is mentally healthy enough (because they’re being abused and psychological deformation is a symptom of abuse) to get help when their problems are so all-consuming. When health insurance is tied to employment above the $20/hour subsistence level that most people are stuck at in this economy, TONS of otherwise normal and healthy people are at risk of slipping through the cracks of despair.
You’re not wrong, but the issue can be more broad.
The ones they leave behind are usually arrogant towards the people with depression. Ime.
If they legalized painless suicide no one would have to clean brains up and the passing could be a ceremonious celebration of free will.

Lost a loved one to suicide. You’re full of shit.
You sound bitter. Could it be possible that you’re projecting your own past and your own issues with suicide onto other people whom you’ve never met in your life? Because, you know, you don’t know anything about them? Because before today you didn’t even know they existed?
But yeah, im sure the article was enough to go on, in your mind, to call them “a pathetic waste of life.”
It seems like you could benefit from seeing a therapist.

You do not get a prize for being the biggest asshole.

Another sociopathic emotionally stunted edgelord for the blocklist. Thank you for showing us who you are.

I wish I had even a modicum of the dumb certainty you do.

What the hell is wrong with you?
Some day you’ll realize the world isn’t so black and white and you don’t always know what people have or haven’t been through. You sound like the type that tells depressed people to just "“get therapy” or worse yet “just think happier”, not realizing the hurdles both can have. With any luck, when you grow up you’ll look back and realize what a heartless ass you were.

Ofcourse it’s never the answer but “just get help” is easier said than done.

I think what you’re missing is that in general we agree, it’s that you don’t have experience (or tolerance) enough to realize that “never” really isn’t never. You and others act as if anyone that succeeded is a coward, that they didn’t try…but many have tried so hard, for many years and still get there. From system failures to abusive caretakers or just plain old ignorance.
So when you and others label everyone who succeeds cowardly, you show us how little you know about the real world. In fact, I’m almost envious because you probably haven’t had to truly live yet, to make heartbreaking decisions with those “always options” disappearing one by one. Watching a loved one suffer, unable to help. Just remember this thread when (if) you get there, will ya?

You have zero sympathy for the person who was in so much pain that they decided ending their life was preferable and the only way out and sympathy for the people around her that didn’t help her?
Weird. I think there’s a more nuanced take on this situation but probably not… You’re probably right and she was just a selfish person who killed herself on a whim with no thought about her loved ones. 🙄

Maybe they should have helped her, then. 🤷♂️
deleted by creator
Yes, because she definitely didn’t do that. I didn’t realize you had an inside track here.
deleted by creator
Fuck you.
you shouldnt belittle someone elses mental anguish as nothing. we cant understand her experience and she was obviously blind to the illogical nature of her decision.
