Why? I'm very sympathetic to tera's situation, but when he threatens to commit suicide just so he can get someone to pay attention to him he deserves to be called out on his behaviour.

You are going to be okay. Really. Just try avoid this thread, how difficult is that?
Even if you believe it elevates you, take no part in being judge, jury and executioner in another human's personal plight. Okay?
You've never known anyone with mental illness have you? Or anyone that has committed suicide?
I thought you liberals were supposed to be nice and loving and stuff.

I'm just fine, a little pissed off that I was manipulated into getting alarmed that tera was going to kill himself but otherwise no issues thanks.
While it appears so at face value we need to also recognise that some may not be in the best place, some may have recently lost close family members and may also not be in the best headspace at the moment themselves. All react differently and some of those reactions may involve acting out, inviting negative response and so forth.

Would you have preferred that I actually went through with it and killed myself?
Seriously. I was taken back by the grain of salt image and post. Nothing less and nothing more. I also explained my emotional status and the fact that I have issues with social interactions and people in general. That I'm finding it hard to cope when negative opinions or comments come my way.
Thanks for the other responses.
I went to see my doctor today and got meds for the month. I told him about everything and was truthful about the whole lot.
He prescribed something that calms me down a bit and I'm also not taking a specific mood stabilizer anymore, as of today.
I let go of it over the course of the past month.
I just wish I could make you see where I am and what I'm facing in life. I can't seem to do that and it's fine.
My attention seeking as you call it is definitely not in my nature.
I don't even talk to people when I feel this way.
Why would I seek attention online when I can do it in reality?
I'm tired. Had a rough week and this is a rough day.
Enjoy your day.
Good! actionable things you can do to help move forward. There's been so many times I wish people could just understand where I am coming from, and believe me, even though someone like cerebus might not truly get it, there's a few of us who know exactly what you're going through.
Rest up. Tomorrow is a new day, and I would love to see a post soon where you're actively looking for other work so you can get rid of that cancer in your life and become even more of an independent person that can rely on themselves to make things better, especially when it seems like impossible/never changing odds

Nobody will know what you are going through or how you are feeling and you must excuse people seeing your cry for help as attention seeking.
Although you might not believe it but there are some people, although they dont really know you, that would not want to see you off yourself thus the reason for them being angry currently.
When you are feeling down or depressed or whatever it is that you are feeling, try to go to a happy time or moment in your life, like the time your mom gave you her laptop. Try to relive that moment and concentrate on your breathing, trying to calm yourself down.
Send me a pm if you just feel like talking or talking nonsense etc.
Always a bunch of assclowns that love kicking others when they're down. Best option - take a massive dump on them by sorting yourself out and staying alive and thrive.
Karma's a bitch - it all comes around in the end - the same assclowns get what's coming to them - directly or indirectly.

One of the things in life I find hella depressing. There is nothing good in it. I avoid it like the plague.

Same here. I now avoid any sort of news, local as well as international.

I was in EXACTLY the same spot as you, booze being my drug of choice. I nearly ended myself one evening in Feb this year (not with booze or drugs). I got help. Today I am a changed man. I wouldn't have believed it myself if someone told me this a year ago. Even if I was sober.
PM me if you need to talk.
Everybody looks down on people that are suicidal until they reach that point themselves. We live in a crazy (and I really mean insane) country so it's not exactly surprising that so many people are depressed to death.
Part of the cure is realizing that this place is so nuts that there is guaranteed to be people worse off than you no matter your situation, another part of it is reaching out and helping those people where possible when the opportunity arrives, the last part is being part of the solution instead of being a baby.... though that part is difficult at the best of times nvm when the world has effectively beaten you into utter submission.
Sometimes the only victory possible is survival and hoping that you find a equal partner to help you up the final part of this muddy hill called life..... no one can survive alone no matter what idiots with inflated ego's tell you.
EDIT: it's a surreal feeling when you realize you actually to a point understand how Robbie Williams feels in his more I suppose somber songs instead of just finding him "deep", he's bi-polar btw.

Sweeping statement.
And yet accurate, the commen uncomfortable response is "I don't understand suicidal people" which is quickly followed by some softly disdainful qualifying statement.

Please supply the stats on this.
If you stated "The majority of people"...I would buy it.
Somehow I doubt I will do the effort to go googling like an idiot for stats or a study to prove the obvious.... but you know this. Of course you are in the same post admitting to being full of BS because by your own initial logic you would need stats proving the "majority" as well as "everyone". Demanding stats to prop up an opinion is a loosing game.

Everyone thinks you're an idiot.
What a nice opinion for someone to have.
