Stop… please… it wasn’t my intention to be a prick, please read this version instead: https://suicideproject.org/2019/03/regarding-my-last-post/
After being here a few years and then leaving recently, it appears that at least a few of you aren’t interested in changing your situation and just want to complain and wallow in pity.
This site has given you a safe space to do just that!
You never actually get anything done because you’d rather come here and complain about your life endlessly. If you need therapy, go and get therapy. If you need help, ask for help. Complaining isn’t going to improve your life, believe it or not.
I will also address the fact that many are putting themselves down constantly. How is that supposed to help you? Stop putting yourself down!
To put this rather simply, you need to go and do something. Don’t come here and write that life is horrible for the millionth time. Don’t come here and complain how stupid life is when you’ve done NOTHING to try and improve it.
^ This applies to everyone and anyone who has the possible means to change their situation, which would be most of you.
If you guess you I am, great, its pretty obvious because of my writing style.
I’m waiting for comments to just prove my point that people would rather complain and wallow in self pity than to try and change their situation.
Wake up, YOUR SITUATION IS NEVER GOING TO CHANGE IF YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! You don’t really want to be here in a few more years still complaining about the same things, do you? Take action.
Instead of taking offence to anything I wrote, why don’t you see it as constructive criticism?
Ah yes, this will really be my last post. Just wanted to make a point.

Lol…if this is who I think it is, I find it just a tiny bit fascinating. Perhaps you should examine why you felt the need to do this again. Might telling ‘tough truths’ to others be a way of deflecting the frustration you feel with yourself for your own hopelessness? I wonder how many more ‘last posts’ we’ll see from you over the coming years?
Regardless, I wish you the best. If you can get yourself to the point where you no longer feel the need to troll depressed people on the internet, then you’ll know you’ve made some progress in terms of your mental health. Good luck!
Yawn.
Trolling huh? Telling the truth is trolling now? Wow. Yeah pretty much the kind of response I expected.
So you think we are wasting our time with our indifference to the world as you see it; and now you are pummeling back to this forum in hopes of “changing our minds” because you can’t stand the red pill? Ever considered joining a Tony Robbins cult?
You saw this as a personal attack
This is just simple logic really, if you don’t try and take steps to make your situation better, its never going to get better. Complaining for months and years won’t make it better. That’s why such people never try, because they hear stuff like this and think its a personal attack on them. so going back to complaining and wallowing in pity and people feeling sorry for them… staying in that cycle…
…makes them feel nice and comforted.
Experience a good teacher here, hmm?
Funny how often over the years you’ve done what you point out here..
Good on you for keeping your eyes open. Best way to see whats coming.
“Funny how often over the years you’ve done what you point out here..”
yup that’s right.
hahah you’re not wrong, may I ask how you have improved yourself?
Oh. Lol. I’ll start. So months ago me and mum left my abusive father. So we both lived together. Then I got a job soon-ish after, although it took an awful lot of looking :/
Recently did a barista (coffee making course) soon I wiill do some work experience in a cafe and I figured I’ll look for a job soon after that. At the moment just saving money for whatever. Lol.
I’ll see if i end up enjoying doing this.
Yeah I’m sick of my current job so…
Oops, i’/m complaining 😛
Thats fair. Not going to be active on here anymore. It probably is because I feel sorry for myself. I’ll stop now. Wish you all the best.
I don’t feel sorry for myself, but something makes me want to talk to others about it, but ig some aspects of that are true.
I can see some good points in what you wrote. I myself recently stopped ranting here coz I feel it only makes it worse for me. But even if there is some truth to that the way you are expressing your thoughts is dumb. Do you really think depressed people will change if you just shame them like this and tell them its all their fault (even if its true) ? Are you actually that delusional? No, I dont think so. I think the purpose of this was not to help anyone. I feel like you just wanna seek conflict. Thats why they tell you you are a troll and I agree with them.
I, for one, am glad this will be your last post, but I doubt that, as people of your ilk are easily agitated and need to lash out at those you find to be weaker, in typical coward form.
Perhaps in the time away from this site you could have learned a bit about sympathy, empathy and compassion, but apparently you didnt, and it’s probably because you just aren’t capable of those qualities, so here you are, explaining to us poor deluded folk how exactly to escape our situations. Well, thank you for your kindness, it’s so very nice you took the time to stop in and point us all in the right direction.
Now, here’s a little advice for you.
Take a moment or several to dwell on the fact that everyone is different. What you understand today may take me, or another person, much longer to grasp. Change, while being the sole universal constant, is not easily attainable. Yes, change can make quite a difference, and it is achieved through action. Rarely has effective life changing action been succesfully implemented through brow beating or condescension, as you blindly assume is the case. Look up “positive reinforcement techniques”, you stand to learn quite a bit from the concepts of initiating change through positive techniques. But be warned, it will require empathy and compassion, so put on your thinking cap up there in your ivory tower, you’ll need it.
So let’s see how you handle my comment. Will you lash back at me and I form me that in your now enlightened state, you scoff at me, or will you now, as a motivated recipient of the benefits of change simply move on, away from the sad cases you seek to pull from the mire of depression with the ropes of your very boring and trivial wisdom?
Or maybe you’ll just go away. The latter would suffice.
I just thought I’d point out that I’m working very hard towards changing my life yet I’m here. Its difficult for some if not most to change when they see no point to it.
Maybe I got it wrong but I feel like you are judging about people here. People are different and so are their ways of dealing with problems. It’s good to have your own way but other people need something else they couldn’t find yet.
I wonder what you think about people like me trying to improve their lives through therapy, medicine… over a long time. What should we do when nothing is working..?
I wish I had an answer for that. Well the key point is trying, and you are doing that, so… the post doesn’t really apply.
This one weird trick by sp reader cures depression and all other problems of life forever! Psychologists hate him!
The trick? “Do something about it”
If only making coffee worked for everyone…
Not sure what a condescending post does to alleviate the situation either.
I’m sorry for this post. I tried to write a better version, link is at the top of the post. Wasn’t my intention to be a complete asshole.. 🙁
