Wow. I mean it looks like a great movie and all but I would hope you could find more concrete reasons to stick around other than some animated movie.

Is my monitor acting up or are other people having trouble reading this.

Contrast is good.

[identity profile] rosehiptea.livejournal.com 2011-09-03 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It says "Right now my desire to see this movie is the only thing keeping me from killing myself."

But I had a hell of time figuring that out myself.

To the OP: I was feeling the same way, though maybe less extreme, about the last Harry Potter book. Then it came out and I felt like "Now what the hell do I do, maybe my life really is over."

So, um, if you really feel that way get help.

I didn't realise there was text on this at all until I'd refreshed it (thinking it didn't entirely load) several times. Completely unreadable.

[identity profile] time-ambassador.livejournal.com 2011-09-03 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I had to squint to make it out and then the secret turned out to be not worth the effort. :\ Just another one of these again.

[identity profile] philstar22.livejournal.com 2011-09-03 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, I have no idea what this secret says. Why on earth would you use a purple text with a purple background?

[identity profile] marshwiggledyke.livejournal.com 2011-09-04 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe because they feel like their depression is hidden from view of everyone, even their fandom friends? I certainly don't feel free to talk about my depression/suicidal feelings with most people, and maybe OP feels the same

/artistic interpretation of reasons for doing things a certain way.

It doesn't make it a very effective way of conveying a secret, but it's what I came up with.

[identity profile] filthy-animal.livejournal.com 2011-09-03 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Anon, please seek help somewhere and talk to friends or family or something. There is more to life than this movie and you shouldn't be clinging to it to avoid your feelings of self-destruction. You should be working on them instead.

I've been there before too and I KNOW life doesn't feel good right now but you'll never have a chance for it to get better if you end things. Life's not as bad as it seems. From another survivor, I ask you to please seek help :/ Even if it's just a friend or something.


Also OMG everyone else you are so whiny-- tinypic eats JPG image quality. This is not news. The OP probably didn't even realize it happened :/

(Anonymous) 2011-09-03 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
The problem isn't just the image quality. It's that the OP used (farily small) purple text over a very similarly shaded purple background which was then degraded by tinypic. It makes for a very hard to read secret.

[identity profile] soymade.livejournal.com 2011-09-04 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously! Calling out OP for poor image quality? In a secret talking about suicide? Geez Louise, people.

I hope OP takes your advice. It's good stuff.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-04 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
I assume they couldn't tell it was about suicide because they couldn't read it, I doubt it was intentional.

[identity profile] kryss-labryn.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
+1.

OP, six years ago I went through a rough time. Really rough. The lowest point was me sitting outside on the balcony stairs, wanting desperately to call my therapist (she'd given me her home numbers for emergencies) but completely unable to do so because the phone was right next to the rifle hanging on the wall, and I didn't think I could make myself pick up the phone and dial instead of putting the end of the rifle in my mouth.

The ONLY reason I am still alive is because I was breastfeeding my new baby, and there was NO ONE else who could do it. He needed me. He NEEDED me. He needed ME.

And I hung on.

Eventually, it does get better. Gods, it was rough there for a while. Didn't help that I didn't have much support at home, and was pretty isolated. But I hung on, and it got better.

Anon, whatever helps you hold on, use it. Seek help, because suicide isn't the answer. I don't know what your situation is so I won't minimize it; whatever it is, it's obviously being hard on YOU, and you're the one who has to deal with it. Anyone else telling you that it isn't so bad or what has no idea of what YOU'RE going through.

But you DON'T have to go through it alone. Talk to people. Teachers, counsellors, doctors, priests, friends, relatives, whoever you've got. Call the mental health guys in your area. Call the suicide hotline. Worst comes to worst and you feel you can't hang on, go to the local emergency ward. They WILL help you.

I know it's hard right now. It may even be unbearable. But I promise you, "This too shall pass." Please, seek help. it IS out there. If you kill yourself then it's just over, with no chance to get better. You'll be missed by more people than you think.

Get help, please. Hell, PM me back if you'd like to talk. And if this movie helps you keep going in the meantime? Then take it. Whatever buys you more time. Just hang in there, and get help. You don't have to handle it alone.

(And yeah, it does look pretty awesome, doesn't it?)

Holy unreadable secrets, Batman!

[identity profile] canthari.livejournal.com 2011-09-03 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't see shit captain


And i don't know, just ask yourself if you're in such bad situation, if a single film can keep yourself from doing the stupidest thing ever then there's actually something else around to care about too.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-04 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
what movie is this??

(Anonymous) 2011-09-04 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
I would also like to know the name of the movie

[identity profile] satji.livejournal.com 2011-09-04 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Un Monstre à Paris -it will come out in a month, I think.

It's with the voices with two French singer, Vanessa Paradis and M. What is really interesting (to me, anyway) is that the male singer has a voice more high pitched than the female one. That's just awesome and it's the first time I've seen it done (be free to prove me wrong people!)

(Anonymous) 2011-09-04 09:38 am (UTC)(link)
Antonio Banderas and Sarah Brigthman singing the phantom of the opera is kin of like that.

[identity profile] torayakari.livejournal.com 2011-09-04 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to see you're excited for this movie too, Anon, but it sounds like you're really depressed. D: You should really see or talk to someone. Please find some help and feel better real soon!♥

[identity profile] sairei.livejournal.com 2011-09-04 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
(Despite great eyesight I still had to lean in and squint a lot to read this. Bigger font and contrast next time please, OP?)

I really recommend therapy, OP. An animated movie shouldn't be your only reason for sticking around. What will happen to you once you've seen it? Please don't commit suicide. It's terribly sad and the people who care for you will be devastated. If anything, please think of them. I don't even know who you are but I care, too! So please, seek help.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-05 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry for the poor image quality, for some reason the .jpg quality is much worse here than in the original picture. Sorry again. If I make another secret, I'll make it more readable.

As for more "concrete reasons" to stick around, I don't really have any. I try to find things - no matter how small - to look forward to to keep going, and right now this movie is the only thing I have. Whether it's good or not isn't important, I just want to see it. I don't know what'll happen once I do, hopefully by that time I'll find something else to look forward to.

Also sorry for for "one of these" again. I don't really visit fandomsecrets, I don't know what kind of secrets are popular and what aren't. I'm so sorry you had to spend all of couple of seconds reading through it.

(Anonymous) 2011-09-06 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
OP, please, don't kill yourself. There are so many people who care about you and would be devastated if you weren't here. Please seek help any way you can =/

I know what it's like to feel that low, but please realize that suicide isn't worth it - it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Even if you're going through something really awful, killing yourself won't make anything easier.

Things will eventually get better. Hang in there ♥

[identity profile] kryss-labryn.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Meh, don't let it bother you. It's hard to tell how things will show up once their posted, and if you haven't been here often then you probably just won't realize how large and high-contrast one needs to make the damned text to make it show up clearly. Don't worry about the eyerolling.

I posted to you a couple of comments above this one. Hang in there, seek help. I know it's rough right now but it DOES get better. Suicide doesn't solve anything.

Hang in there. And talk to SOMEONE, please. A doctor, nurse, priest, teacher, friend, relative, suicide hotline, local mental health board, whoever you can. If it comes right down to it you can go into the local emergency ward, they'll help you.

I know it's tough, but help is out there. Please seek it.

And just ignore all the eyerolling. Sheesh, you guys, what the hell? Someone comes here in pain and you're bitchy because you had to work a bit to read it? Good lord, grow up.

[identity profile] filthy-animal.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Silly icon to cheer you up.

Seriously though, this is what I did with Megamind. I was extremely close to suicide before seeing it, and when I did I used it as a distraction to "cover up" my depression. I was certain there would be a sequel, at the time, so I clung to it like "this is what I will stay alive for".

Which was stupid.

So cue months later when everything crashes around me as we overhear that Dreamworks doesn't have much intention to work on their parody franchises at the moment.

I had to learn, very slowly, and definitely the hard way, that I need to focus on my own happiness, not find it from others or things. You probably don't love yourself at all, and here you are. Do you want that? I sure hope you don't! You deserve better. Seriously. Start being kinder to yourself. From one heart to another, you need to be strong, anon.

Love yourself-- you can actually be in control of you.
