TRIGGER - SPECIFIC MENTION OF SUICIDE METHOD

What really hurts me as much as the ignorance of others, is when people make jokes about mental illness and suicide. As a suicide survivor who now has no desire to die, I have a lot of empathy for those who do. It is so hurtful when people say "Oh, I could just slit my wrists" or something like that. I don't talk about my past struggles to anyone. I can't face the total lack of understanding and derision that I get.
