Today, I returned from a month-long stay in a psych ward for severe depression and suicide attempts. The first words my friends say to me when I call them and let them know I'm out? "Does this mean you're not gonna be so emo? 'cause that was really annoying." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my housemate picked me up from the psychiatric ward, after I'd spent ten days there with a major depressive episode. She said that she thought it rather odd that I'd gotten so bad, since she'd replaced my antidepressants with homeopathic pills. FML
Today, I got out of a psych ward. I lied and said I was better, just so I could leave because it was that awful… but the truth is that I'm worse than when I went in. FML
Today, my friend broke ties with me after I came out of the hospital from attempted suicide. She was the one who called the police for me to go in there in the first place. FML
Today, I went to the local emergency room, upon recommendation of my psychiatrist, because I was depressed to the point of being suicidal. They sent me home because there were no beds available. FML
Today, after weeks of therapy for severe depression, my therapist thought it would be helpful to confess my deepest problems to my friends, to prove that it was alright to trust people. I did. They laughed. Hard. FML
Today, I feel very lost. I have been in and out of psych wards so much. It's so bad, the ER nurse knows me as "the AI coder guy" and the people in the mental health wards know me by first name, and have a "welcome back" thing each time. It's so embarrassing. FML
Today, I told my parents how grateful I am for having them in my life and that not many kids are as lucky as me. My mom texted me after I went out 10 minutes later: "Are you OK? You seemed depressed earlier." FML
Today, my family finally noticed my depression because of how quiet, down and uninterested I’ve been. They responded by harassing me for saying nothing, calling me names, and making fun of me. Hmm, I wonder why I’m depressed. FML
Today, I tried to tell my dad that I was really struggling with my mental health and didn't think I could stay alive much longer. He laughed. This comes after telling my "best friend" last week and having to wait three days for a reply. FML
Today, going to my psychiatrist's appointment for my PTSD and depression, my mother yelled about how useless I am and how I torture her existence with my "abnormalities." She told the doctor how much I've improved and become such a delight at home for her and our family. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You mean "ex-friends", right? Tell them it's their fault you were in there. Bastards.

I am so sorry and I hope that now you are ok and on the road back to recovery. It annoys the hell out of me that when anybody shows any kind of emoiton they are considered emo, it's as if showing any sign of sadness, depression or any other emotion like that is wrong, its not it is an emotion and if not shown it can lead to dangerous circumstances and situations The next person who say "OMG I was so emo I cried today" I am going to SCREAM !!!

Wow, the internet. People feel like they can say all the mean things they want because you're faceless here. Does not being sad about anything in your life make you a better person than the next? I feel sorry for those of you who call this person names for *being depressed*, of all things. You pitiful fools act like she did something to you. So what if she was sad? Get over it. You jerks are just whimpering cowards hiding behind a computer screen. OP: Get new friends, pronto.

That sounds like something some old friends of mine would have said. About nine months ago I was going through a tough time (I don't know if I was depressed or not; I wouldn't even open up in therapy and eventually was taken out after it didn't work) and I didn't talk to anybody, and my now ex-friends acted concerned, which apparently included, rather than support, asking me if I was bipolar because I was acting weird, and not letting it go when I said no. My parents noticed something was up and when I finally told them, I was told to get over it. One also ex-friend completely blew me off for his older-and-therefore-cooler friends and girlfriend. Three months into this mess I started talking to one of my friends - the only friend who actually listened to me and supported me - and he made an unbelievable difference. If it weren't for him I would still be miserable, and for all I know, even dead. So for all of you assholes saying you don't need support from anyone to stop being miserable, **** you. We're all here and we might as well support each other when we're going through tough times, instead of being heartless and watching the rest of the world die while you prosper. My novel aside XD, OP - I don't know you. I don't know whether you're really depressed or not (the whole you've-been-in-a-psych-ward says to me that you are, but the fact that your name is "emogurl" says the opposite). So all I'm going to say is to try and find the root of your misery, and either get it out of your life, or try to improve it somehow. Do you have at least ONE friend who is supportive of you? If not, find one. And I wouldn't even talk to these so-called friends anymore. Good luck.
