Ugh. Okay, as someone who HAS been suicidal before?

FUCK the commenters on this post. When I finally told my parents about how I felt, my Mom went out and got me a silly little bobblehead that said "I found my happy place" on it. Why? Because it made her think of me, because I like cute, cheesy things like that.

Was it silly? Yeah. Do I wish that maybe she'd helped me get counciling instead? Yeah, that'd be nice.

But you know what? She CARES. She felt bad enough about how I felt that she spent money on a silly little bobblehead--money she probably could use right now, considering our financial situation. If I actually DID kill myself, the LAST THING I would want would be a bunch of mouth-breathing dicks on fandomsecrets calling her a horrible mother because she didn't shove a hotline in my face instead.

If this secret is real, where the fuck do you guys get off bashing a poor girl that's grieving? She obviously feels bad enough WITHOUT you guys shoveling guilt on her. Get off your goddamn high horse. Like YOU would know any better if you were worried or in a panic?

God, I hate this place sometimes.

I wrote a really angry angry, then deleted it.

I'm also someone who tried to off herself in the past - and yeah, I agree with this comment sfm and I am still shaking with anger at the moment by some of the fucking stupid comments upthread.

Hang in there OP, you did really well.

OP had to know what they were getting into posting here of all places. That's why everyone's calling troll in the dungeon in the first place. f!s isn't a place to go for grief counseling.

(Also why is everyone automatically assuming OP is a girl?)

Well, obviously it's not the place to go for grief counseling. But if she was feeling guilty and thought she deserved to be "punished"? F!S would be a pretty good place to go.

Or maybe she just wanted to get it off her chest.

I'm not assuming that the OP is a girl. I just like using "she/her" as the default pronoun sometimes. Feels good man.

Because this is f!s and there's no such thing as male dbsk fans. :P

mte. i also hate that so many people here seem to think calling the suicide hotline would have somehow magically fixed things for the friend. i went through depression and i had somebody call the hotline for me. and you know what? it did nothing to help me. if anything, it made me feel worse that some random stranger on the other end of a phoneline seemed to think they knew about my problems and how to 'fix' them. i know it was an irrational way to think, but i couldn't help it.

so perhaps the op was doing what s/he thought was right. by sharing something s/he loved with a friend in an attempt to make them feel better and let them know that s/he is there for them. sometimes just knowing you have a friend who cares about you and wants to help you is enough to pull you back from the edge.

As someone who's posted earlier, I've had a similar experience. I've had people brush off my issues as being something that can be fixed by something silly or by ignoring them. I have anxiety issues and I've been depressed, and the fact that people do silly things to try and fix it just made it worse for me. It made you feel better? Fantastic, that's great. But it doesn't work the same way for everyone.

It's not OP's fault. But what OP did was not the right move.

excellent comment, anon.

(Anonymous) 2011-07-15 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Because, while what the OP is going through is horrible, the OP did make the wrong choice. Like it or not that *does* have consequences in life - and this time that consequence may very well have ended someone's life. Are some of the comments harsh? Yes.

Speaking as some one whose been on both sides most people don't just send someone a link and say 'Listen to this. It'll make you feel better.' That does come off as brushing off the other person's feelings as something that just listening to a cheery little tune will fix - and really, comes off like you don't care, even if that isn't the case. Also, something you might want to consider is - from how the OP described the situation - their friend called them when at the point committing suicide which isn't quite the same as saying 'I want to die'.

That said, considering that this *is* F!S, and that this comm is hardly known for being compassionate? It's not that hard a stretch to think it might be a troll.

As someone who gets frequently suicidal, THANK YOU. My parents pretty much never take my mental problems seriously, but that's because the reality of my illness scares them, and in a way they can never even begin to understand what it's like to be me.
