Suicide Prohibitions
Some people do believe that there is no point to living on Earth. I don't.
The point of living is to enjoy living, and to benefit self and others.
It will be good if we can reduce suicides to zero using persuasion, reason, and kindness. Suicide should be respected as a civil and human right for all adults when it is done in private. Nonconsensual psychiatry should be outlawed. That is, psychiatric coercion, force, and confinement should be outlawed.
Psychiatry wrongly medicalizes suicide. The decision of suicide is not a medical issue. It is a personal, moral, and ethical issue and decision.
Suicide prohibitions and the ability for psychiatrists to lock up law abiding citizens for trying to engage in suicide or for indicating that they will has a chilling effect on free speech, and prevents people from being able to have open and honest conversations about suicide in private in appropriate settings. This needs to change.
Read the book Suicide Prohibition: The Shame of Medicine by psychiatrist Thomas Szasz.

He Will Direct You
According to A Course In Miracles, you do not have to worry about what to say or what to do because he who sent you will direct you. He will direct you!
You don't have to worry!
He will direct you!
It's not that he might direct you. He WILL direct you. You do not have to listen though.
A Course In Miracles uses the future tense; he will direct you. Despite time being an illusion, the direction may occur in 1 millionth of a second or in 1 million years. Maybe it is happening right now.
Either way, he will direct you and you don't have to worry. You can worry if it's helpful, but you don't have to! You need do nothing, but you are not required to do nothing.
Follow your heart and Holy Spirit. You will be directed.

Psychiatric Slavery Will Be Outlawed
In graduate school and undergrad I was exposed to the ideas of psychiatrist Thomas Szasz.
In undergraduate school we read his essay The Myth of Mental Illness. The essay is available online to read for free.
In graduate school we were shown a video of a debate between Szasz and Albert Ellis.
Szasz wrote about 35 books.
He believed that psychiatry medicalizes problems in living and that suicide should be respected as a civil and human right.
He wrote a book called Psychiatric Slavery and believed that civil commitment and the insanity defense form the foundations of psychiatric slavery.
He passed in 2012 at the age of 92.
Szasz will not be forgotten.
The unfortunately obscure fact that I learned from all this is that psychiatry is not authentic medicine. Real medicine deals with real diseases and disorders that can be objectively diagnosed, that can have an objective potential cure, and they are not voted into existence. Homosexuality was once an official psychiatric disorder that was eventually voted out of existence.
