Men die of suicide much more often than women. This is commonly blamed on men's unwillingness to seek help and talk about their problems. This paper disputes the conventional view, emphasizing instead socio-economic issues and obstacles to health care access

I’ve had those thoughts since I was about 10. They just come up, and have to be pushed back down. It’s tiring, years of having to stubbornly disagree with ones own mind. The worst part is missing chances to actually be happy, because you’re stuck in your own head when you could have been enjoying friends and family. But yes, I hear you: I’ve been a that “I wouldn’t,” place for most of my life.

Edit: sometimes “I wouldn’t,” does inevitably turn to “maybe?” And that’s the scary part. Incidentally a bit of religious dogma has been a useful backstop, dunno how much I believe it, but I’ve always told myself that suicides go to hell, and it’s given me an “absolutist line in the sand” to to backstop the “no,” this is not the way, until I could actually start to SEE that it wasn’t the way again. (This probably only works in by head because of an attempt once that made the idea more poignant.) Definitely not a great coping mechanism, and I’m not claiming that as truth or recommendation for anyone, just describing some of my own experience.

Edit2: As an adult, I have always answered the question as “no.” There were several cases where the apparent hand offering “help” was an obvious institutional ploy at “risk reduction.” Whether they claimed they had eradicated stigma or not, answering yes would have been a career affecting moment. I know I’m not replaceable to friends and family, but I’m certainly replaceable at work, and would never answer yes to that question in the context of anything connected to my income, including healthcare that uses employment based insurance. I suspect/hope this is is at least one aspect of the paper.
