i thought introverted perceivers were more likely to commit suicide than extroverted perceivers. Fi definitely can become fixated on particular value judgments that can corrupt their whole interior (value judgments, purpose, etc). but introverted perceiving gets its entire information system corrupted, it cannot get information outside of that. Fe implosion is a total corruption, it is so total in that we cannot KNOW better as we are destroying ourselves, it is not our values but our perception. we do not just lose value we lose vision, the capability to see. it is not just about how we relate to the world but what the world IS. bc we cannot get at it thru a clean lens. i see Fi lock up and i see Fi suffer very much, but Fe just fucking melts down sometimes (bc it becomes a damaged connector, conductor, conduit between ourselves and teh world). many F types descend into serious mental illness and start breaking down if the stress gets too great and they dont' get the support they need.
i also thought 5w4 was more likely to commit suicide than 4w5. but i thought they were probably the two highest types. 4 is hysterical but 5 is TRAPPED in knowledge of things that can be so dark and morbid and terrifyingly ugly.
i think most 5 and 4 types have considered what would happen, altho i may receive a proposal that doesn't mean i seriously consider the offer. i've wanted to completely disappear a number of times. and yes, i'm glad i did not! there's something comforting in knowing that the worst is never really the worst, and that you can never really hit rock bottom, and that you really can endure anything even tho it may not be worth it to you at the time. tho the suffering and the stress can, of course, and like all things at all times, completely overpower you, dominate you, and totally mercilessly destroy you.
shrapnel is in such poor taste.
we need better and more experimental alternative therapies to get people back on track, but the one size fits all approach to education and business within so many social spheres, social spectres, and social situations is what creates so much fo the problem in the first place!
