Today, I was telling my sister about how I am horribly depressed and how I can't function and she responded with, "Oh, shit! I've got to go Jeopardy is on!" FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was excited that my sister called me for the first time in months. She asked me to stop watching "Friends" so she could use the Netflix account. Now, I still have an absentee sister and no Friends. FML
Today, my sister compared me handling the news of recently being told that I have a devastating and very possibly fatal autoimmune disease, to that of a teenager being melodramatic. FML
Today, while preparing the house for company, I got a call that my sister had a heart attack and died. My wife's response? "Great! Now you're going to be no help to me at all!" FML
Today, my depression has seemingly hit a new low when I barely reacted at all to my sister excitedly telling me that I'm going to be an uncle. I'm not going to be a fun one at this rate. FML
Today, I had an anxiety attack just from thinking about appearing on TV and being watched by a real audience. FML
Today, my dad stood by and nodded in agreement as my sister told me that my clinical depression is "getting REALLY old." FML
Today, my 35 year-old sister, who has no job or life, came downstairs and told me she knows I can hear her thoughts. FML
Today, nine months after changing my entire life when my father had a stroke and I became his carer full time, I called my sister to talk about some his irrational behavior. All I got in response was, "I just watched a sad movie, I can't deal with this right now." FML
Today, I found out my sister has a new boyfriend. That would have been helpful to know three hours ago, before I told her boyfriend, who is also my best friend, that I loved him. His response? "HAHAHA! Good one! Oh Seriously? Shit." FML
Today, during a text conversation with a girl I've been trying to get with, she complained about how crummy of a day she was having. I told her it couldn't be as bad as she thought, and she would probably get it over it soon. Then she told me she had found out her cousin had been murdered. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I like how some people here says they rather watch tv rather then listen to people bitch about their lives, but they visit fmylife.com everyday to read about people's fml stories, which is also people bitching about their lives.

I don't think you understand...jeopardy is really just that good. That's what it is. It's not being cold-hearted, it's just sometimes trivial knowledge gets the best of you :/

To those who suggest that it's not your problem to deal with a friend/family member's depression, I feel you. I both have it and have dealt with loved ones who have it, and it's true, they need professional help. But you can at least listen long enough for them to get it off their chest, and then suggest to them that they seek that help. And trying to help someone who's suicidal doesn't make you "responsible" for them if they do something. I know it sucks trying to "fix" them, and it's not your job. But letting them know they have something to hang on for doesn't mean you need to give up your life taking guns out of their hands. It just means you at least try, or show them you give a damn. And OP, I hope you take from all of these comments the one idea that you SHOULD seek professional help, as well as a friend who will be sympathetic.

I love how some people casually say that Jeopardy is awesome, and other people flip the **** out about cold hearts

perstephane, good post. What a lot of people indeed don't understand is that when you're depressed, just having someone who listens, someone who you can tell how you feel, helps. No one is expecting a relative or a friend to act like a psychiatrist. Just listen and encourage them to get help because the chances are that they won't without encouragement. And those who say that they don't want to hear about other people's problems: you might want to consider that when someone who has depression reads what you wrote, they probably will believe you and not share their feelings with anyone. That is incredibly dangerous and that's the way it works. Of course everyone is allowed to say what they want to, but depression is one illness that is actually affected by words. So people should really think twice before trying to act funny or cool.

Somehow, I can't help but think that this one is a complete lie...
