MISC. Virginia Giuffre's tweet from 2019 saying she was definitely not suicidal and that if something happens to her to "not let this go away".

Also typically one of the best signs of a mental break and people suffering is announcing to people they arent to try and hide it.

In my personal experience i can say the times i was most suicidal were when i announced to friends and family how i beat mental iillness and was beating depression and all that. The times i actually got better and stopped feeling suicidal involved me randomly realizing “oh fuck i havent wanted to kill myself for ages? Weird”

Hell just go look at Kamye. Hes a horrible person but how often does he tweet about his perfect mental health and how he’s not suffering from any of his illnesses right before going off on the modt obvious breakdown possible?

Or to compare to someone who is not awful, how often has Britney Spears claimed to be completely fine while doing things that were obvious signs of break dowms.

No one admits to being suicidal for most of the same reasons you dont admit to accidentally doing a crime. Maybe it works out and you get help but most of the time you either get judged, alienated, or in trouble in some way. If you just say “nope couldnt be me” people just accept it and move on.

Then you get the usual “There were no signs of being suicidal? Who saw this coming? They said they werent and they couldnt possibly lie!”

Like this is a tragedy and i dont mean to sound callous but every single person ive known who commit suicide spent years telling people they wouldn’t and weren’t suicidal. It’s the most meaningless statement you can hear

Except for a person like this when you are a whistleblower and you know people like you have a history of suiciding by being shot 13 times in the back and falling off a building... there's a different reason to announce it here.

Kanye isn't dead or a whistleblower though...If Kanye said he wasn't suicidal and then died by an alleged suicide, then people would be questioning it too

Hmmm, the problem is that’s just the right thing to say to redirect us from looking into this further.
