I found this bingo card that I thought was pretty funny yet accurate. Mark a spot for every response people always tell you that never actually helps when you're suicidal. I ended up Marking them all.
Does anybody else feel like you essentially can't talk to anyone at all about your suicidality or depression at this point? I feel like I can't be honest with anyone else who isn't severely depressed or suicidal because they just don't understand. You try to talk to normal people and they gaslight you. They try to make you feel crazy. Some have gotten frustrated that I'm so negative and just ended up straight up insulting me after trying to help lmao. They tell you all these cliche platitudes. "Everything gets better with time!" "Just turn to Jesus!" "Just take SSRIs" "go to therapy!" Get exercise blah blah blah sunlight blah blah. Eat healthy blah blah. Do xyfuckingz like we haven't already exhausted every option where capable of over and over with no success. "Do something you love!!!" I've been too depressed to do anything I fuckin love for a year straight now. Do you Joe how bad I wish I could do think things I used to fuckin love! This isn't fun. We don't choose this. We try to change. We try to fix things. We fail over and over and nothing ever works. The world beats us down over and over again. We try to fight back. It beats us again. We try to give up. It beats us still.
Life waits for no one. Depression doesn't give AF if we "try".
