This is very sobering if it’s indeed true...

but all those can be easily handled by democrats if you let them give you a govt check every month by taxing billionaires
OP i totally respect your past and i have had my own issues, so i would never make light of this, but i dont believe those numbers for one second
the rest of the headlines from those sites were either
attacks on trumps
or
biden harris campaign ads promos and propaganda
most hard working americans dont have time to dig into the news
so they rely on the headlines and the tickers
if i just posted the headlines
and left off the fox news headlines
you would feel miserable about life

No doubt. Lot of off limits topics for the media with Joe and Kamela. Can't talk about Joe Biden's age or mental ability, Can't talk about Harris' beyond crazy liberal voting record, can't talk about Biden's pandering to blacks and his do-nothing record for them, his corruption, or Harris's miraculous change from thinking Biden was a racist to now respecting him.
Im not a liberal. I’m a conservative....a moderate on a lot of social issues. I just believe that number is inflated. Don’t act like it’s a scientific certainty...it’s the result of some study done on a very tiny percent of the population.
I don’t doubt that isolation comes with a cost...I don’t think people should be isolated. I just dont believe 1 in 4 people have considered suicide, that’s all. I’m sure more have considered it than normal, but 25%? I’m skeptical.
That's a scary thing. It doesn't help when we're all supposed to isolate and for many the only real path to outreach is through social media that's just infected with anger all the time.
I got off Facebook it got so bad.

ok the BIDEN HARRIS plan announced
1- Mandatory nationwide mask wearing for next 3 months. I think the punishment is concentration camps worst case scenario to just listing you as having a mental issue so that you cant own a firearm to fight back when you will need to.
2- Create Pandemic Testing Board that will focus on distributing testing kits. Not sure how testing kits are sent out now. not sure how much better it will be versus cost. no details.
3. Create a Public Health Jobs Corps to hire 100,000 people who wanna focus on contact tracing. not sure of details on that yet
4. Create a clear path forward- (NO SHYT SHERLOCK)
5. Set aside $25 billion for manufacturing and distribution of vaccine.

Appreciate many of you sharing your experiences.
wanted to share this, it’s been almost 20 years since I stopped watching the news. One of best life decisions I’ve ever made.
Obviously not for everyone as we all have different type personalities, but if ur like me and tend to take news to heart then please consider just not watching it. Absolutely nothing you can do to change it. Not a damn thing. Whatever channel you are watching has an agenda they are trying to push down your throat.
Watch something educational or entertaining instead.

Nearly every patient I see now is complaining of worsening anxiety and depression. Before the quarantine that wasn't the case. I would say that the numbers are probably higher than what that study reports, because some people won't admit to considering suicide. And those are the ones truly at risk, because they won't say anything. They will just do it one day.
This all day. Life is what you make of it. Get on social media and watch the news and your outlook will be negative. Get off of it and you’ll be fine.
Here you go my friend. Highlight that it asks suicide thought in the last 12 months shows how much worse things are right now.
Yes.
And those who have realized this from the start have taken flack as being 'negative', on occasion.
It's frightening to me when I ponder what is still to come down this road.
I hurt for our Country.
My prayer is that people will realize that they must turn to a Peace that surpasses human effort and ability.
Even more to "Nature" if that is as far as you will go.
Above, @Ole Tom said "significantly better than life in America in the past" .....and I agree with him. To a point.
Technologically, materialistically we have advanced to places and things that no other generation could imagine. Yet, I wouldn't say we are 'better' overall.
Not when you consider the emptiness that 'living for me' leaves souls pondering "What's the point?"
I'm sure, reading this, you correctly take that I am suggesting people consider 'getting in touch' with a Higher Power.
Yes, to me that is God, the Creator. I Believe Him to be the only God and the Savior upon which I stake the life He gave me.
I think that's the only True answer, though I am not here to preach. Because, many of you will disagree.
I am here to care.
If you can only find peace and comfort in some other, try that for a while at least.
But you're gonna have to put your faith in something more than you and your money and your job and your friends and family.
Heck, more than Clemson Football, even. sigh.........
We MUST reach beyond ourselves, beyond what we have been told for generations about 'things', about 'feeling good', about 'material wealth'.
People, we cannot fix ourselves anymore than a car can fix itself.
Counselors, Psychologists, Friends, Family, Pastors and the like can listen and be of some solace. But, you cannot fix you.
There is more to life than what we've been told; been led to believe.
Try to believe that. Hang on to that. Because it's true. Find something to throw yourself into.
Take some time out of the craziness to explore what that might be. Take the focus off of yourself and your problems for a bit.
There is more.
Life is worthwhile.
The deep valleys require that there be mountaintops. Search them out.
We are going to find out mental health issues are the biggest health threat from Covid. The human brain is meant to be stimulated by other human contact and when that’s taken away mental well being is hurt by the change.
You know, I was rapidly heading toward and beginning to permanently dwell in the land of despair early on in this pandemic. I mean really, really despair. And then just in time, my family took an already planned vacation in Alaska. We never turned on the TV. We didn't get on social media. We just took a break from real life, and voila, I was happy again.
With a tendency to go to a dark place, I am acutely aware of the dangers of "news" and social media. Blessed to have the awareness to back out when I find myself going to that place. I suspect a whole bunch of people don't realize they're headed to that dark place and therefore can't turn around thus leading to these high numbers. Sure they are very high in this report, but I actually believe they could be that high.
I think people don’t like to think about how bad suicide/ suicidal thoughts are in today’s society. We are over socialized and under educated.
First, I don’t believe those numbers are that high, but they probably have gone up.
Second, if they are that high, why should it surprise anyone? Look at what the media/liberals/academia beat into our young kids head every damn day. That someone is always out to get you in this evil country, and that you constantly are oppressed by the evil Comservatives. It’s constant negativity for these young kids on a daily basis. They grow up to see a world that is shaped for them, not by them.

I could not possibly agree with you more. And it scares the hell out of me.
Tigerworx, I agree fully with the essence of your post. I am a believing and practicing Christian, but there are many faithful God fearing people of all faiths and no faiths who struggle with depression and who resort to suicide. I was trying to address the negativity on social media and how it pushes people to see and think about only the dark sides of life. I believe that if TV depresses you, you should turn it off. If you feel your self sliding down the ladder of negativity via your social media contacts, find new contacts. Don't stay at a bad party. If your friends are bad for you, sometimes you have to find new friends.
I kid you not I haven’t watched the news in several years and I feel good about it. Get my weather on line and sports here.
if you only read headlines, any misunderstanding is your own fault. in a world where the media makes money from clicks, of course headlines are going to be absurdist. your use of headlines over articles says a lot about you.
Go read @appalachiatiger post above about what "they" (I assume the Democrats, but could be NWO or George Soros or Bill Gates or whoever the current boogeyman is) are coming to do, and then see who is saying "someone is out to get you in this evil country". Hell, that is basically the Trump reelection platform in a nutshell.
I agree that suicide and depression and mental health are all concerns for people that are isolated and worried and possibly losing their businesses and we should do everything we can to help people like that. But that doesnt mean we just totally ignore the virus and immediately go back to normal. There is an absolute balance between the two, and the politics on both sides has made it impossible for usually reasonable people to see. I'm disgusted by it.
That's what the lib controlled media and the socialist democrat party want you to think. But it's not true. However, Trump has to use that on the campaign trail, because issues and facts and talking about actions and voting records and too complicated for the herd of emotional idiots that overpopulate this country and would require fair coverage that abides by what was once called journalistic ethics.
No one anywhere is saying "ignore" the virus.
Why would anyone click on an absurd headline link and expect the body of the article to be trustworthy?
Can someone please explain where this info comes from? True threats of suicide arent going to broadcast it in this manner.
I lost a very good friend to suicide. Leaves everyone close to them wishing they had known and could have done something. You never get over that.
But the desperate need for attention that most have developed from social media (where I assume... yes assume.. this info was collected) isn't the same.
Sad situation though... I suggest people lose the facebook/instagram/garbage stuff that controls their lives.

Of course it's true. We shut this country down and ruined lives in the process... The suicide rate coming out of the Wuhan Virus is going to be brutal.
Ummm no. What does Fauci have to do with anything? I don’t think I’ve read any of his quotes in a month or more. I’m certainly not a Fauci disciple.
Even if the number isn’t pin point precise I guarantee you that many more people are dying from other causes than the “virus.”
Suicide rates are through the roof. As are drug overdoses, car wrecks, severe mental health issues, homicides etc.
Isolation in its many current forms is not only killing people, but causing long lasting consequences that many may never recover from. Not to mention homelessness. Our world has forever changed and no one needs a number to see that.
And for what? This is the conspiracy of our lifetimes. I could explain that 10 different ways but I wouldn’t waste my time and you wouldn’t believe it regardless. But one day soon you will see what this was all about. Very soon

Well to be fair it seems you will believe any conspiracy theory.
I don’t doubt that suicide rates and frog overdoses are way higher than normal. I don’t doubt that for a second.
LOL! Wrong. And this is a conspiracy not a conspiracy theory. Learn the difference. And if you’re insinuating what I think you are think again. I’ll be around when it all goes down.
Lost a father, grandfather and 3 homies I served with. It surely can devastate the strongest. There’s just no resolve
Trump made America so great that only 1/5th of our young adult citizens wish they were dead. Let's give him 4 more years and see if we can get that up over 50%.
A young women friend of my nephew committed suicide last week.
Local Upstate.
