so I was talking to someone about suicide and mentioned casually that

Possible trigger:

I was currently actively suicidal.

she asked me so, what do you want to do before you die?

so I told her and then she's like

Possible trigger:

how are you going to die?. in any case, good luck with it.

quite unsupportive

Possible trigger:

that's even worse than a former therapist telling me to just go kill myself

some people are so..... you know, oblivious to these things

Sending hugs raging vortex. IRL people have no understanding. It is very disturbing that professionals act this way.

Resisting such thoughts takes a lot of courage. I am glad you are here

I guess mental health stigma is alive and well

and probably always will be.

*sigh*

I agree

[Starving2death]

Wow, talk about ignoring what you say.
So what do you want to do before you die?
Kill you *****!

[Under*Over]

Yeah thats awful.

That person was either being thoughtless or intentionally cruel. I hope it was the former- but either way- Im really sorry that was said to you. Your life has value and its sad when someone says something that walks all over that

That's terrible. I saw someone post a similar thought to someone here maybe 2 or 3 years ago. I was shocked and horrified. Please don't take anything like that to heart. We here care about you. Have you spoken to a doctor or therapist about how you are feeling? I would recommend talking to a therapist if you can. You could join "7 cups of tea" and talk to people on there. You don't even have to formally join, I don't think.

But it's important that you have something or someone to hold onto, and family and friends generally don't necessarily know how to help.

You are a very good soul. ((((Hugs))))) and

Please keep the phone numbers of the Suicide Prevention and anyone else you might want to call in your pocket at all times, or in your bag.

I don't have the number of the Suicide Prevention hotline handy, but the number is probably in the depression forum, etc. I hope you will call them, or the UK equivalent. Please don't try anything drastic.

Yes, thank you, I mostly just post in the schizophrenia forum. I don't know why. I hope you're ok.

[Angelique67]

@raging vortex are you ok? I haven't seen you around since your last post. Are you in the hospital?

I have been around since my post, but very briefly (just to check on certain threads)

the last few days has been nothing but really deep depression and fibro pain (and believe me, that isn't a nice mix)

but anyway: the point is, I wasn't really strong enough to come on here. I wasn't really today, but saw your post in my emails and wanted to say hi (thank god for email subscriptions, right?)

how are you doing?

Thank you for coming on! I guess you still feel really bad? I wish I could do something to help.

I'm ok I guess. Tweeting to Donald Trump not to kill nicotine vaping lol. And I should be calling too. I'm glad the government in the UK supports vaping. Maybe the US will buy a clue. A lot of lives could be saved. Your life is every bit as important as anyone else's. So, that's what's in my head lately, panic about vaping bans, and worrying about all my favorite people.

[Calla lily12]

I've never heard anything so cruel. I can feel the rejection that you must feel. I'm so sorry. Please stay safe.

[Fuzzybear]

I can't believe that people say these awful things either

and yet, supposedly it is us who are 'mentally ill' (and insert additional pejorative label many of us in this forest have been branded with this forest irl
