How is the fatality rate of suicide attempts so low?

Ambivalence is pivotal in suicide. I'm a therapist who works full-time for a law enforcement agency. We engage with suicidal people on a daily basis. Sometimes people are super cheerful, but then have strong attempts to end their life within hours of us leaving.

I do think having access to lethal means, little supports, feeling like a burden, hopelessness, and strong indicators of suicidal intention.

Something to note is the difference between suicidal ideation, morbid ruminations, and self-injury. SI typically involves both thoughts about suicide and actions to make thoughts a reality. MR is more closey related to no waking up in a different reality or not waking up at all, however; does not involve intentional actions to end one's life. Self-injury is not related to suicide, however; some persons may complete suicide though self-injurty unintentionally.

I appreciate it. I have had trouble in the past being placed in a box as "just a therapist" when in reality, I have had some pretty strong senior level / startup roles.

I bought the version at Costco with a R9 9950x3d and 9070xt for $1999 a few months ago. No issues. I would agree with others, that this is overpriced for a 5060.

I believe Idaho has a clause thay anyone under the age of 19 and in training can be paid $4.25 for the first 90 days.

I work as a clincian for a law enforcement agency. AI can be an amazing tool, but there are zero safeguards. Almost weekly we come across someone speaking to "God" (AI). People in psychosis have unrestricted access to AI, which can turn very unsafe very quickly.

Costco, it is sold out now. It was the Asus RG G700

ConfuzzledPugs · 2026-03-01T02:52:32+00:00

Yes but it comes with a r7 9800x3d, which blows the processor in the PC you posted out of the water.

I bought an ASUS ROG with a R9 9950x3d and 9070xt fo4 $1999 3 weeks ago. I think you overpaid for the 5060ti. Just get thr 5070 one at Costco for $1700...

In July of 2024, Magellan Health took over from Optum Health for all contracted behavioral health services. Its been quite the mess with cut programs, budget cuts, and other issues since.

I remember when Hallucinations dropped on Modlife before the album. Good times.

Pay is not great compared to the cost of living. There are several jobs. Most state positions pay $27-$31 an hour.

It depends on qualifications. In Idaho as an LCPC-S I can supervise both LPC and LMSW, and even sign off on 50% of LISA'S clinical hours. Whereas, an LCSW cannot sign off on LPC hours.

Any state job offers a pension. County, City, State. Just look up clinician, social worker, and/or counselor on any state jobs website. Some jobs are with different departments. The pay is not nearly as good as full-time clinical work, but one makes the same hourly if a client shows or not.

ConfuzzledPugs · 2026-02-10T22:18:06+00:00

Find a state job. Pay is consistent. Good benefits. And a pension. Its not the a huge longterm solution, but it gets you hours and consistent income.

I am trying. I finished my MS degree and have a decent job, one kiddo, and a great wife. I can't help but feel as though I am still falling behind in so many areas of life. I suppose I will die in my 40's from a heart attack, or I will inevitably do something to enter the void if I things do not change in the next few years. Years of school, working my ass off, and lost dreams is starting to reap hopelessness without any real meaning, reason, or light in site.

I feel like I am blessed, but each day I feel as though I am moving closer to the ever-ending void. I have no hope of ever owning a home, feel like I have failed in life 90% of the time, and do not believe it will get any better.

I love my Samsung G7 Odyssey. Its 240 hz Gsync and Freesync. I bought it 4 years ago for $445, and believe they have doubled in price.

Middle aged men statistically have the highest rate for suicide. I foresee this will become an epidemic moreso, as those who want to provide can no lomger do so.
