    Good plan. I mean personally I’d go with a .38 - Drano is gonna hurt like a motherfucker the whole time it’s killing you.

    I know this is just a joke, but seriously don’t kill yourself by drinking lye/drain cleaner. It a horrible death, basically slowly charing your esophagus and stomach until you die.

      I might not be remembering it totally accurately but my school back in the day had some dude who attempted this come and talk to us about something, can’t remember exactly. Anyway, in order to save his life, doctors had to take his intestines and attach to his throat…OVER the rib cage. I’m pretty sure in order to eat he had to push the food down that over-the-rib intestine like trying to get the last of the toothpaste out of the tube.

          For real, I just wanted to read about antics related to the American election, and homie is coming in with the “hey, I have a story about nightmare bowel reconstruction” that makes me simultaneously thankful everything is okay on my end, sad for another person, and grossed out at the same time.

          I’m too exhausted for it.

          Here let me balance it out for you:

          Doesn’t that make it better? For those that can’t read, I typed out something wonderful. Text to audio doesn’t do it justice.

    I think you’re supposed to inject the Drano or something? Like to kill fake diseases that totally never happened… Or was that bleach?

    On one hand, lmao good meme

    On the other, I genuinely wish depressed/suicidal people would dedicate their life to a random cause instead of offing themselves

      Man, half the reason is that the struggle is unbearable and never ends. “Go involve yourself more in the struggle” isn’t really an answer to that.

        It can be. Struggling is part of life, meaning makes struggle worth it. Meaning can change ones outlook from it never ends to I can move the needle, even just a little.

          Ever been deeply, clinically, chronically depressed to the point of suicidal thoughts and possibly have exhausted clinical treatments?

          Are you a medical professional offering a legitimate treatment?

          No?

          Maybe you should sit down and not offer such reductionist advice regarding conditions you apparently do not understand.

          Meaning? Ha! And that needle you can do freely move? Doesn’t even exist for us. 👍

      Nearly every day at work or in school, or within my friend group, someone tells me I’m valued and make the world a better place. I am doing research on something important to me, getting a degree in environmental science, just did a production as stage manager and got to sew costumes to make my trans friends feel amazing on stage, and I still get home and think about blowing my brains out most days. Last winter I hospitalized myself again hoping to break the cycle of misery, and that didn’t work. I’m one of the lucky suicidal people who can leave the house and interact with other humans (some of those love me, and I love back), but even that isn’t a cure. Nothing has made life worth living, and after all these years I still don’t know what would.

      It really doesn’t work that way. You can work in charity and still deal with mental illness and suicidal ideation.

      Yeah it doesn’t work that way bro.

      Take the most debilitating pain you’ve ever endured in your life, amp it up to “11”, and then live with it every single day from here until you die. 24/7.

      Then when you think you might have a handle on managing it, have people like yourself make such dismissive comments on how you should dedicate your life to some “random cause” instead.

      Many depressed/suicidal folks often do give themselves to a cause or calling. Depression isn’t just the episodic spiral you see portrayed as depression, it’s also the hard fought days where only you can see your struggle. Along with therapy, exercise, and medication, “faking it til you make it” is the treatment plan, allowing yourself the freedom to try to function and feel better. And from experience, living for others is one of the easiest ways to push yourself to make an effort.

      Unless you mean “dedicate their life to a random cause” as in “at least take someone awful with you”. That’s generally frowned upon advice, but I definitely understand the sentiment more than I wish.
