i can't be the only one who had some stressful situations in his career that made him suicidal. looking back, i find it cringey that i used to care about small things at work including politics

I never really understood suicide.

Homicide though, I get that.

@HiFiWiFiSciFi Same for me. At least the sad kind. I'd rather get together my (rather poor, but at least first-world poor) savings and take a one-way trip to <cheapPlaceOfYourChoice> and see how long I can make it. Not to mention that at that point I don't have to worry too much about any long-term effects. Or STDs. Or anything, really.

Actually leaving everything bad behind though... that's the difficult part. Maybe I have Stockholm syndrome.

Yes, caring about politics can make you suicidal.
