Description
i dont support it because i almost tried it! i had inspiration for this stamp from this news article here news.deviantart.com/article/57...read it! it's very powerful, and very moving! it had me in tears by the time i had finished commenting on it! and the comment you can find right here and all the replies to it. comments.deviantart.com/2/5787...
let me know if you use it! so i can see it in action!!
template from $zilla774
Oh my god. you people realize that the artist doesn't get to choose what get's a DD. i still have no clue what so ever of why this was chosen as a DD so stop discussing it here. if you dont like it. tell the proper people you can find it here FAQ #873: What do I do when I disapprove of a Daily Deviation feature?
and as for "lumping cutting and suicide together", what can i say... i'm sorry. i'm not going to change it now, and at the time it was what was going through my mind.
for the people who are saying stuff about how cutting can be good. well. i wont lie, my best friend used to cut. she did it to relieve stress. but from my personal standpoint, i know it isn't healthy, and it is something i am very glad i never did.
and if i was refering to assisted suicide i would have put that so please stop using that as an argument as well. i was talking about self suicide. like slitting your wrists or hanging yourself and so on.
any other haters out there... well i'm sorry you feel that way i am not here to change your feelings however.
******UPDATE******
I just uploaded an apology deviation. I feel it's necessary

Wow people really do get in your face about this being a DD!
Jumping on any chance to attack it even... Wow.
Ok, yeah... what's an artist to do?
So if you get a DD and joe shmoe doesn't approve, it's attack time!
XD

yeah pretty much. but that is why i modified the artist comments on it, to include a link if somebody doesn't like it they know where to go!
i am actaually getting sick and tired of people getting in MY face about it. ugh... i really wish they would just leave it be.

Looks like you are started quite the talk.
I don't support it either, but I will support those I know and love and help them through it. I have been there and done that, and I don't regret it because getting through it was the best thing I could have ever done for myself, and looking back I know how much strength it took to get out of that dark place.
You did good work on the stamp. I would have no idea how to do it. Good job

i didn't want this kind of talk though. majority of the people who commented on it are actually insulting me or the stamp itself. not giving feed back like they are supposed to.
it took me quite a lot to get out of the dark dismal place i was in, and i found out last night that it still has a line tied around my ankle and can pull me back with ease.
thanks

I want you to go to the article [link] read the comments that people have been leaving and look at how many, all because you made this stamp and linked my article as inspiration. Thank you, your stamp has helped make my tribute to Patrick as meaningful as I hoped it would be.

well. i'm glad i could help.

Congrats on the DD, you so deserve it, I hope it brought a smile to your face and your beautiful soul.

it would have... had people not read so deeply into this simple stamp. i have gotten more hate then anything here. and i am starting to really get depressed reading through these comments hearing the same story over and over again.

Don't allow them to do this to you. They are obviously not aware of how supportive you were being when you made this stamp or how much it meant to me as I was grieving over the loss of my best friend to suicide. I will never forget your kindness during this difficult time, it really made it a difference.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks. what makes things bad though. i put links to the article in the artist comments. as well as my comment on the article! and people just dont read it. unless they really are kind people
i bet your likes or whatever on that article is way up right now!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That are way up and the support is amazing, thank you.

i didn't do much... i still am confused about the DD thing for me. so yeah. but at least it is being heard!

I have to agree...
I had a bitter history with clinical depression/anxiety for the past 18 years and I've been thinking about suicide a lot. Then 3 years ago I went into therapy by force and it became much worse. Problems were never solved and the counselor kept putting me on random anti depressants. It made me so insane to the point of almost attempting suicide. When I realized how dangerous the drugs are, I quit them cold turkey. Eventually i stopped seeing her and dealt with things the best I can. I still battle depression nearly every single day but I still have the hope of having a better life someday.
Then there's my stepsister. She's been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, bi polar disorder, depression, and anxiety. There had been numerous of times when she took up cutting at the age of 16 and attempted suicide on countless occasions, even the high school bathroom. She's been arrested and in and out of mental health institutions. Now at 18, she's moved to Kentucky and lives with her sister. From what I hear she's doing okay for the most part but sometimes I really worry about it.
We should support on listening to people when they're having trouble and do our best to help them get through these rough times, not abandon them or leave them. Not encourage others to end their lives by making life even more miserable for them.

the first time i ever saw my counselor i told her up front, i dont want any meds. period. and she agreed with me. 
you can trust me on this. depressions sucks, but when it get's to the point of attempting or even nearly attempting suicide, you need to talk with somebody about it. that is why my best friend is exactly that. my best friend.
and as for your step sister. i dont know how to help. in this rare case... with all of that against her, meds may be the way. but if she is doing ok right now for the most part, then there is a bit less to worry about. sometimes the only thing you can do is pray that things get better for both you and your stepsister.
if my best friend didn't listen to me that dreadful night, i wouldn't even have this account, i would be dead. and i never would have been able to make this stamp! which has me with over 130 messages, and the rest of the 1000 (or more) are people faving and watching.

Awesome! I agree, you shouldn't just kill yourself, you should try and find a way to solve the problem!

yeah... what i was told and what i can tell people now
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. granted it didn't help me any... but whatever. it's true
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, well good luck, hun.

Honestly, i dont see how either. and that's a lot coming from the one who made it! but i am happy about it. and i have been given the opportunity to help other people out and to settle a few issues regarding the stamp.
