you are put in situations which absolutely mess with your mind and there’s nothing you can do. even though friends and family try and say all these things like its just a setback or do some exercise or move on etc etc.. the clichés…
I do feel that these things apply to people who are just temporarily sad or have hope. people who are beyond that point and want the sweet release of death are not motivated by this sort of stuff.. I truly feel that people don’t get it and they don’t understand. it is easy to comment from outside of the looking glass. I mean they must have felt sad over some failure too so they can say “oh its alright, you’ll get over it..we did”, but I don’t think they truly know what its like to be in the mindset of wanting to die

I think maybe that’s true for some…
There are people who HAVE felt and been like that, though, and found a way to heal.
Totally agree, I was majorly depressed before and after tablets and cbt started to feel better and get back on track but all that was different to now. I didn’t know why I felt like that before but I’ve realised it’s because the world is so fucking shit and there’s nothing anyone can say or anything I can do to make that feel better. Existence seems completely pointless. No amount of talking or exercise is going to change that.
That’s why suicidal people are for special occasions like Christmas or birthdays. Like household pets, they look good, the idea of them seems good but the reality is different and they end up in the animal shelter or side of the road when the novelty has worn off. People like to think they do but they don’t know anything. When you’ve got people like that coming into contact with suicidal people, the whole world is a catastrophe.
Someone once said to me: “if you don’t get it, you don’t get it.”
It’s recursive. You have to Get it, to “get it.”
Anyone who hasn’t yet gotten it, won’t “get it” until they get it.
Meanwhile, they will bombard you with all sorts of infuriatingly absurd and inane garbage, as if you’re the one who doesn’t “get it.”
Get it?
