Can Facebook stop you from committing suicide?
Will suicide prevention on social media work, or will it backfire?

MANILA, Philippines – "I hate this. It hurts too much. I want to end this now."
In the bottomless pit of oversharing that is Facebook, some posts can be more concerning than others. In the middle of all the memes and gripes over grumpy cab drivers, sometimes a status pops out that speaks volumes of a person's psychological well-being, and you're torn over whether you should do something about it.
The crisis in comforting
I've been on both sides of the suicidal status update dilemma. I've hit enough critical lows where it seriously felt like Facebook's blank status box was the only spot left for me to cry out. I've also come across similar professions of hopelessness from my friends on the social media platform. And in both cases, it was a conflicting experience.
When I was feeling suicidal, the messages of reassurance, both in the comments section of my update and in private threads, were a comfort to be sure. I'll always be immensely grateful to the people who've reached out, and admit that their response was partially behind why I'm still here typing this now.
But however real-time and sincere this show of support may be, being that it is on social media there is a remote and impersonal aspect to it that I can never shake. And the awareness of this built-in distance can actually make things more depressing.
People say they're there for me, but technically, literally, at that exact and painful point in time, they really aren't.
