I wonder how many suicides attempts occurred in Cambodia today ? Drugs, drownings, hangings, in the news every day.

Re: World Suicide Prevention Day
A man was saved from a real suicide attempt today and a video was posted on CEO earlier on the darknet forum. A guy jumped off a bridge, trying to drown himself, and they've filmed the rescue. post279569.html#p279569
It could disturb some people, or you may find it voyeuristic, so I'll put in a spoiler here so you have to choose to see it. He doesn't die, but it gets pretty emotional.

World Suicide Prevention Day – September 10, 2020
We observe World Suicide Prevention Day each year on September 10. It’s a growing problem and the numbers tell a shocking story. Every 40 seconds someone takes their own life according to the World Health Organization (WHO). That’s about 800,000 people worldwide every year — although some estimates put that number closer to 1 million.
Suicide is the leading cause of death for people ages 15 to 29 and for every suicide that results in death, there are as many as 40 attempted suicides. What we know for sure is that there’s a lot to live for. Check out more information at National Suicide Prevention Month.
Why World Suicide Prevention Day is Important
Suicide affects all of us
Many people know somebody who has taken their own life. Still others know someone who has lost a friend or family member. World Suicide Prevention Day gives us time to reflect on the value of life and that no matter how bad things seem, there's always hope.
With awareness comes action
One of the main goals of World Suicide Prevention Day is "to increase awareness about suicidal behaviors and how to effectively prevent them," according to WHO. Contact your local suicide prevention hotline if you have a friend who's confided about having suicidal thoughts or you see a social media post about someone's intentions. Take action.
It shines a spotlight on mental health issues
World Suicide Prevention Day is a reminder that society needs consistent and increasing advocacy for mental health resources so that people struggling with mental health disorders can find the help they need. If you live in the United States, learn the signs a person shows when thinking about committing suicide by finding out more on the National Suicide Prevention Month website.

Re: World Suicide Prevention Day
Suicide has been part of my life since November of 1969 and reared its brutal head again in October of 2013.
Years ago I was told by a teacher smoking a camel non filter in class that it was a mortal sin.
That day changed me forever.
I realized that anybody who smoked cigarettes was committing suicide......and mortal.sin was some bullshit invented by men...
When someone you love commits suicide it leaves an emptiness, a guilt and a scar that does not heal.
Anyone reading this who is contemplating it I ask you to stop and forgive yourself. Don't do it.
But, I understand and know your pain feels impossible to overcome.
I think the covid 19 dominoes are going to kill far more people through suicide than by the virus.
Take Cambodia for example..
No covid 19 deaths...this year...how many suicides are linked to people losing their business? Job? Substance abuse?
