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, a friend thought it would be funny to make a R.I.P. page for me on Facebook. Most liked post? "Too bad this page is fake." 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
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, my best friend actually had the audacity to try and one-up my suicide attempt story. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

you did the right thing OP, i had someone say that she was better off if she disappeared and i contacted a mutual friend to make sure that everything was okay too. the fact that the person made a joke about this shows that they are just wanting attention

That's not even slightly funny, I'm been talking to a girl that has depression and I stopped her at least twice from doing that. It takes a toll just not on her but the person trying to help. I'm sorry, all you can do it really be there and try to make her last days happy. Maybe one day she will get a since of her actions and realize that's nothing to joke about..

Good job on looking out for her and helping her :)

Thank you, she has gotten better but recently she has slowly faded out of contact with me and she won't tell me what's up. But she is still here!

Most people who want to really kill themselves won't tell anybody but the one person they trust the most.. :/

That isn't necessarily true. People who are planning to commit suicide have been known to announce it through jokes, comments, or even statuses on social media. Therefore you must take every threat of suicide seriously because for every attention ***** like OP's friend, there's a genuinely suicidal person who's crying out for help.

And then there are those that tell no one at all. They just do it.

Eh don't worry about her. You're a good person for making sure she was okay. I just can't believe someone would use self harm as a joke. :/

you did the right thing...that stuff needs to be taken seriously, suicides no joke.

You're a great person, OP! The person who wrote that facebook status should be ashamed, suicide is not a joke and this kind of behavior makes people even more reluctant to help those who are truly desperate.

Any person with half a brain should know that when someone says stuff like "I'm going to kill myself", it should not be taken lightly. The friend sounds like a space case to me.

If anything you deserve a high five! There is nothing funny about suicide and you did the right thing... Please do not let someone like this discourage you from helping another if a similar situation comes up.

Honestly, if somebody did that for me, I would be incredibly touched. You're a good person OP.
