Gate 28, especially the 6th line, is susceptible to suicidality (but not traditionally. It's more the flavor of self-destructiveness, which takes many forms). The drive for purpose. The fear of death. The fear of dying without meaning. Without it mattering that you lived. When we realize that life has no meaning, we understand that we create it's meaning. Do you want to "help" people with depression or "mental health issues". Save them by learning Human Design. Anyone with 28.6 in unconscious or personality is most susceptible. Do not attempt to soothe their emotions. Let them be. Just be with them. Don't "try" to "do" anything. If you want to help them, just be you with them. If you want to "help" stop "helping" especially if you are a mental health professional. You know absolutely nothing. Learn Human Design. The only way you can help a 28.6 is to be yourself with them, and to potentially bring meaning to their life by extension. Anything else is fallacy, arrogance, and folly. You can't "help" anyone with anything until you understand what's going on. Learn Human Design. Maybe after deconditioning your life can have real meaning. Not a life as a slave to the expectations of others. All in vain. Be yourself no matter what. -Micah Jacobs

More on Suicide and Human Design:
Part of my reply to a post in an HD group about the topic:
It doesn't always appear as suicidal ideation.
28.6 is about taking it to the limit. "Taking any risk to find meaning."
Not excluding the mundane drawn-out examples, but not limited to adrenalized activity either. It's the whole spectrum.
Self-destruction can appear incredibly healthy to outside observers who are entirely unaware of energy mechanics, or otherwise lack wisdom, depth, or true understanding.
Blaze of Glory takes many forms. And acquiesces to different time frames.
29 keeps saying no, because there is nothing correct to say yes to... Etc.
I could talk about HD forever, but it won't directly help me unless people are supporting me energetically, as I spend every waking moment empowering them and sharing with them.
Unfortunately, the topic of suicide leads the notself to play pretend and become a savior which is why people don't want to talk about suicide in the notself world.
They want to live.
They just want to live as themselves.
They definitely don't want to be handled with kid-gloves.
It's a nightmare when the notself doesn't listen to your gifts and mastery/won't contribute to your development and livelihood, etc., but only listens when they perceive a defect (so they can sell to you whether or not they are aware of it). (Ever notice why the suicidal person may get angry with you when you try to "help"?) They don't want "help". They want what they deserve. Which is dignity, and to be treated with respect and seen for all that they are, in practice, not in theory or only when the bells and alarms and whistles go off in the uncaring collective.
People don't often hear honestly about suicide in the collective because collective caring is impersonal and doesn't truly care at an individual level. It's homogenized. Treats every individual the same. Proclaims to have the answers and the understanding, which is insulting to an individual who knows better. Only the individual cares for another individual in those instances. And that's also mechanical, and subject to no-choice.
If anyone in the notself wants to prevent suicide, start by operating correctly. If you want to prevent suicide, see people for their definition and value them accordingly, if correct of course. Do not go trying to fix a boogeyman in the openness/whiteness. That's not seeing the other. That's prescribing them something they're not, grafting energy onto them that isn't theirs.
True individuals laugh at collective attempts to empathize with those who are suicidal. (Only those who know know). They don't want empathy. They want to see clearly and to be themselves without massive amounts of resistance. You can't talk them out of that. Especially if you don't know the mechanics and you aren't designed for it... Which is damn near everybody, save for the few who can guide someone out (who are designed for this kind of interaction).
