Reply to comment by DuckonaWaffle in TIL that calls directed to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline rose by 27% after the release of 1-800-273-8255 by American rapper Logic. by Sun_Aria
Have either of you had any professional training in counseling a suicidal individual? Have you any credentials in supporting people at risk ? I have, and do., and speak from experience.
These are not lies, but rather proven trends. A Gallup Research Poll of individuals who have attempted suicide clearly indicates that 96% of respondents indicate they were at a low point when considering suicide, and things rebound for the better shortly after they pass that low point. “Things will change” is not only a viable promise, it is also a certainty. (One could argue that change is inevitable in any state, but besides from that, >95% of those who attempt suicide state that this is exactly what they experience after the attempt.)

No.

I speak from experience as well.

They're lies. Things may get better for some people, but that doesn't mean they're guaranteed to improve for everyone.

So for 4% didn't rebound, thus proving the original statement to be false.

You're lying. It is not a certainty, and you've just admitted as much.
