About 49,500 people took their own lives last year in the U.S., the highest number ever, according to new government data posted Thursday.

    I believe it. This place sucks. Criminals and assholes everywhere, at least in my life. People claw at you and fuck you over until your suicidal. I have no respect for America at all anymore. It feels like having to live with seeing your rapist everyday.

    That and nobody cares. I sent out goodbye texts to a lot of people in my life. Literally no one cares. I’ve had people try to push me to suicide, stalk me, and give me death threats since 2020. Cops don’t care.

      You’re right. But I care, if even for this breif moment. Take care, when you can. I hear you. ❤️

      Ok first of all I get you, as someone from Europe, the greatest strengths of America often sound like the biggest weaknesses to me.

      And then ofc if you wanna talk about it I’m here and I will listen :) hope you’re doing good.

        American culture was deeply scarred by the cold war in ways that I don’t think many people realize. Over the last 80 years, the pursuit of self-interest has come to dominate every aspect of life and in turn degrades any attempt at community or helping one another. It’s quite sad actually. The America that gave my grandparents the opportunity to drag themselves out of poverty has turned around and eaten itself alive.

        Literally can’t talk about because I get death threats because I made some bad people mad. And I know what they are capable of.

        All my social media is watched by them.

        Edit: I always get down votes for my real life experience posts. The world is fucked, you just shut out anything that goes against the privilege you were born into. Life is death war and chaos. You can either live for humanity or continue making rich criminals richer while you deny reality. I’ve seen people get other people murdered by cops on purpose. It’s real. This is America… There is zero hope.
