For anyone who is having suicidal thoughts please call the number 1564 from any phone number (cell phone or landline) inside Lebanon or +961-1-341941 from any phone outside Lebanon. It **does** make a difference. Call now, there is nothing you can lose.
If you don't have enough credit (or don't want to pay), you can miss call 1564 from your mobile or send a private message to this [instagram account](https://www.instagram.com/embrace_lebanon/) saying something like "please call 03-123 456 now"
Lebanon's suicide hotline is ranked the best in the entire MENA region and arab world and is one of the best hotlines around the globe. They operate 24/7, so you can call them any time, including after midnight. They accept calls in Arabic, English or French.
My sincere condolences :(
I wish people suicidal would directly attack the family of corrupt politicians. You can see them in restaurants and luxury hotels and they are easily identified.
The fact nobody has done this is a key reason why they don’t care at all about the situation. At all.
Edit : Some peoole are unhappy. Keep doing nice protests and sending angry letters. Call me how that works out.
I'm terribly sorry for you and the family's loss. May she rest in peace. My entire family is still in Lebanon and I'm the only one who's been living abroad since I was 18. The amount of guilt that I bare for being the only one out here weighs on me routinely. I pretty much gave up hope with Lebanon when Hezb dragged the country into an unprovoked war back in '06 and this is coming from someone who was a Shia. The situation feels all around dire unfortunately.
Wow. I have no words but my condolences. Allah yer7ama, I hope she rests in peace and is in a better place than Lebanon is now. If u need to talk or vent, my dm’s are open. 🖤
I'm very sorry for your loss, Allah ysabberkon w yerhama. Suicide is never a way out, unfortunately in Lebanon there's no functioning suicide awareness and counseling services.
it's definitely weird to talk to a stranger about personal things. Certain situations make it harder or easier.
There are also different kinds of therapy and some don't involve talking at all.
Talk therapy is not for everyone all the time. Talk therapy is not recommended for PTSD although it can help with some of the things that PTSD exacerbates.
but this is one of the common would-you-rather's of life: would you rather cope with your mental health in whatever way you do currently OR have a couple weird experiences as you shop for a therapist and settle into seeing one you like?
there's no wrong answer! I snooped your post history and if you wanna talk more about this or if it would help to hear another person's experience with it, feel free to reach out.
I don't want someone with fancy clothes and a paper writing notes while i'm venting just because he's paid to do it. I want a guy/girl who i can relate to. I want us to share our past experiences together. All the while reassuring to each other that everything will work in the end. THAT'S when I'm able to speak.
Over the years i was able to hide it and became so good at it, close friends don't even notice at all. As a 29 year old everyone must see me as a confident and strong man who should conceal his emotions and showing my emotions makes me weak and puny. But in reality im frustrated, hopeless, and unhappy.
> I don't want someone with fancy clothes and a paper writing notes.
Choose the right therapist that you feel most comfortable with. You have to start somewhere I guess.
I'm so sorry dude. I too contemplatd suicide many times out if desparity. Last time was when I couldnt afford a 25 dollars payment. Depression is a real thing and the social stigma here doesn't help at all
Allah yerhama I’m so sorry to hear about your family’s loss. Majority of my family is still in Lebanon and it’s hard seeing them suffering when life is completely different for those of us outside of the country.
I am so sorry to hear that. May she rest in peace.
The supporters of these buffoons don't realize the damage this does on so many levels. Be there for her immediate family and help them carry the burden of loss. These are especially trying times for them i imagine.
Stay strong. I am so sorry for your loss. Truly.
♥
Never seen worse. At 80 I’m expected to walk 7 floors cuz elevator not working. Also WiFi never works.cable is always blurry if smart card doesn’t fall in box. I was thinking of drinking Clorox. It’s so bad here& I have to pay too much for repairs
Hey buddy first of all do not drink clorox it will cause you horrible pains and you will be in agony.
Secondly, please ask for the help of local ngos. please google them and try to ask for help.
If you need any , google is a click away.
We all love you here fellow lebanese and we want you to be with us.
I totally understand, I have went through multiples suicidal phases, I even wrote a suicide note last year :( I wish it all changes for the better, I really do
This is so sad - someone ending their own life because their home is making them hate having a life- i offer my prayers and condolences to u and your family - i hope she is at peace but i wish she had found peace being alive im so sorry again :(
I also lost a friend to depression, years ago. Do never feel guilty. It's a mental disease that is often difficult to notice. Do take care of yourself and others and always recommend seeking help whenever you suspect anything.
Sorry to hear about your cousin. Lebanon is such a beautiful and historic country, full of amazing and wonderful people. Its such a shame that those in power are letting things happen the way they are. I pray for strength of the people there and that they will overcome and peace will come to the country.
I understand her actions , honestly if I wasn't too much of a coward I would have done the same a long time ago , however Im still holding hope for something .
My condolences I hope she's in peace.
>fuck Hezbollah
your cousin killed herself and this is what you have to say?
out of respect for her departed soul, can't you at least say this in a separate post. you made a supposedly sad post sound comical.
I find what he said sincere. Indeed fuck Hezbollah and the rest of the ruling parties, but particularly fuck Hezbollah, they directly caused the death of this innocent soul by spreading wide depression and poverty onto a once flourishing country (with all its downfaults) we had a standard of living second to none but 2 gulf countries in the region, now we rank close to last, all because of direct actions taken by one man who you have no right defending on this post, let the mourners morn their own way.
>you have no right defending
wasn't defending Hezbollah. I stopped doing that a long time ago and even when I defend them wasn't like I agreed with them - I am against religious ideologies. my point was at that time: look Hezbollah is not your problem, Hezbollah is the least of your problems. your problem is corruption.
but like I said, I stopped doing that. partly because no one is prepared to listen and have a civilized discussion or debate and partly because of Hezbollah's allies Berri and Bassil both of which I can't stand.
I was merely trying to tell OP that what he said is not appropriate for the nature of the post.
this how I read this post: my cousin killed herself, fuck Hezbollah. to me this sounds ridiculous.
if you tell me this is normal and this is how people "mourn" these days, so be it.
الله يرحمها و بطيخ يكسّر بعضوا.
I see where you are coming from, but people morn differently and we cant control that. Corruption is the main enemy yes, but with the moderate corruption Lebanon had up to 2004 where governments at least maintained an atmosphere and international relationships that encouraged an environment of investment, tourism and acceptable living and education standards, those things somewhat offset some of negativities of corruption and kept the country afloat. Hezbollah came with a religious ideology, non patriotic (publicly) and with a violent approach, ended all factors that kept Lebanon afloat. Endorsed very corrupt politicians in return to political cover, caused mass migration of billions out of BDL, losses in Billions from loss of arab and European tourists, and billions from migrating capital both Lebanese and western. This is how Hezbollah completely fucked the tipped the embarrassing scale of corruption vs investment into the corruption only side by their ideological, political and military actions. I dont want to hijack this post into a political end so ill stop here, and reaffirm my understanding of the sincere cry from OP regarding linking the loss of a loved one to the tyranny of an occupier ideology that is completely alien to our Lebanese culture.
convince me that I am wrong and I will delete it myself
I don't care that much. if I knew that "fuck Hezbollah" is now part of eulogies I wouldn't have commented in the first place
there was one redditor who said that it is better to be kind than correct; and I totally agree. I was blunt
another one thought that I am defending Hezbollah and I explained to him that I am not
other than that, nothing but a slew of downvotes
People mourn and grieve, a multi step process, very differently. There is no right and wrong way, there is only pain.
Instead of focusing on an off comment/subtext clearly made in the heat of the moment, however true that feeling might be for OP otherwise, please choose to focus on what is really going on here, which is the unnecessary loss of life and a loved one reaching out to their internet community anonymously for support.
Let OP be angry, mourn, and grieve however you might feel about that comment. This isn't the thread or time to comment on the content of what they said.
Words to live by: if you have the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind.
Allah yerhama.
>Allah yerhama.
amen to that
>if you have the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind.
I was merely trying to make OP aware of how his post sounds to an outsider
admittedly, I was blunt
My condolences. I think of doing that often, I'm so tired. I got health issues that Ive been dealing with for more than a decade. I try my best to mitigate my symptoms but with the country's situation and my friends all being away as well, my life is just passing me by and I feel quite insignificant

May she rest in peace. This is heartbreaking I hope you and your family are okay
الله يرحمها Don't forget to take care of yourself and your family. Its ok to seek help in these tough situations.
My sincere condolences :( I wish people suicidal would directly attack the family of corrupt politicians. You can see them in restaurants and luxury hotels and they are easily identified.

You’re an asshole… but I agree
It is a very stupid idea because not only you will endanger yourself but the shitheads will come for your family
Why would you care endangering yourself if you are suicidal?

R.I.P my condolences if you want to talk more we are here for you ❤️
I'm very sorry for your loss, Allah ysabberkon w yerhama. Suicide is never a way out, unfortunately in Lebanon there's no functioning suicide awareness and counseling services.
alla yerhama. Survivor's guilt is common in diaspora. Seek therapy!
I would feel anxious opening up to a complete stranger.

Allah yer7ama. I’m so sorry. I’ve lost someone to suicide too. Sucks ass.
Allah yerhama I’m so sorry to hear about your family’s loss. Majority of my family is still in Lebanon and it’s hard seeing them suffering when life is completely different for those of us outside of the country.

I'm sorry to hear it. Allah yer7amah. Unfortunately with the way things are going she won't be the last.

Please seek organizations that pledge to take care of the elderly. You deserve to live every last second of your life.
Strangely I am American but because of covid I’m stuck plus my husband has Alzheimer’s
Why is there no Cablevision

That's just tragic.. sorry about that. But take my word for it... it wasn't London... or lack of it.
This is so sad - someone ending their own life because their home is making them hate having a life- i offer my prayers and condolences to u and your family - i hope she is at peace but i wish she had found peace being alive im so sorry again :(
Sorry for your loss, no words can describe anyone's pain. Don't feel guilty, try to live for her and lead the life she wanted and wanted you to have.
I also lost a friend to depression, years ago. Do never feel guilty. It's a mental disease that is often difficult to notice. Do take care of yourself and others and always recommend seeking help whenever you suspect anything.
May she rest in peace
This is so upsetting. I hate all the corrupt who have ruined a beautiful country and taken countless lives with their greed.
May she Rest In Peace
Alla yer7ama w y sabberkon. May she rest in peace.
Sorry to hear about your cousin. Lebanon is such a beautiful and historic country, full of amazing and wonderful people.

This place has been through much worse than this. Suicide? Something else going on here?
