I would've thought they'd be locked in a psychiatric ward for a while until they get cleared

Idk, better to have your agency than be stuck in a box. The criminalization of suicide is fucking stupid.

Yeah.

Cause you're probably not suicidal.

Most of my friends who are suicidal (or the ones that were, rather) all look back on their time in a psych ward rather fondley. They all talk about how good it was to just not have to think about how they'd go about their day, and just focus on themselves and getting help.

Of course, each one recieved a different quality of care, cause they're online friends all around the world, but the ones that got help all have similar stories.
