Mental health, Facebook and Social Media: Not a laughing matter

Not a laughing matter

By Anonymous - 26/02/2014 09:31 - United States - Las Vegas

Today, on Facebook, someone wrote a status implying that she was going to kill herself. I called a mutual friend, asking to check up on her. The next status the girl puts up said, "Someone thought I was going to commit suicide! Haha what a loser!" FML

Today, I was just browsing Facebook when my friend sent me a GoFundMe link. Someone wrote a page saying I killed myself and that we need money for funeral services. People are actually donating to it. FML

Today, I complained about being bored to death on Facebook. Someone took it as a suicide threat and called the police. They showed up at my apartment and my workplace. FML

Today, a friend posted the Facebook status "Ahhh... relief." Trying to be funny, I replied "Why? Did you just poop?" A few hours later, I read her previous posts and found out her dad's in the hospital having heart surgery. Now everyone thinks I'm a heartless dick. FML

Today, I logged onto Facebook to see one of my "friends" had used my account to post a coming-out story. It had comments on it such as "I knew it!" "Finally." and "That explains so much." FML

Today, I saw the girl I had started dating changed her Facebook relationship status to "In a relationship". Naturally, I changed mine too. The next time I logged on, she had commented, "Really?! Who?!" She was serious. FML

Clout chasing

Today, to give the illusion that I have friends, I wrote an outrageous status on Facebook, and then pretended it was the result of a friend hacking my page, all in the hope that it would get comments, likes, or at least some attention. Nothing happened. FML

Today, this girl I liked made her Facebook status "Nobody texts me anymore, message me numbers?" I commented that I texted her. She deleted it and changed it to "Nobody that I care about texts me anymore, message me numbers?" FML

Today, I was confiding in my dad over the phone, after I caught my girlfriend cheating on me. After I hung up and went online, I noticed he'd been live-blogging the whole call on Facebook and commenting that he was considering suicide to escape the boredom. FML

Sounds like my sister. She told her ex that she slit her wrists because he wouldn't spend the night with her, then when the police/ambulance came, they found her sitting in bed playing on her iPad.

I had an ex do that. He said he had a shot gun to his mouth and was gonna pull the trigger. I told his mom and she found him sitting on his computer talking to another girl that he claims "saved him from doing it"

A shotgun? to his mouth? The contortion he'd have to pull to manage that.........

I was 16 at the time so it didn't occur to me how unlikely it would be for it to be possible. Now though I can see clearly that he just wanted the attention and was hardcore crazy. Very happy he is an ex

You did the right thing. Never stop being a good friend. One day your actions will probably help someone and you may not even know it.

I hate people who threaten to kill themselves just for fun or attention. Suicide is a serious issue and idiots like her make it seem like a joke. It's also disrespectful for people who have had attempted suicide, as well as for people who lost someone because of it. Sorry for the rant, it hits close to home and it just makes me angry.
