Today, I was texting my friend. He has a history of depression, which we were talking about, and somehow, he turned the conversation to, "If we ever broke up, I would kill myself." I didn't even know we were even going out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was flirting with a guy and we ended up having a deep conversation through text. We were talking all our problems, and saying really sweet things to each other. I THOUGHT he was going to say something else really sweet and cute. He linked me to Suicide Hotline instead. FML
Today, I woke up to a text from my boyfriend that said, "Dude, I think she knows I'm going to break up with her." FML
Today, a boy I'm not even dating took it upon himself to tell me that we would never work out. Via text message. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of nine months that depression runs in my family and I think the reason I've been flipping shit so much lately may be that I am depressed. Not five minutes later he decided a break would be "the best thing for us right now." FML
Today, I was talking to a colleague about love. He told me he's given up on love because things ended badly with a previous girl. I said, "Maybe it wasn't meant to be, and she wasn't the one." He then said the reason it didn't work out was because she killed herself. FML
Today, I opened up to my best friend about my depression. Her response: "If you're so depressed, why don't you just kill yourself?" FML
Today, feeling so depressed to the point of having suicidal thoughts, I texted a girl I had a crush on. Her response? "Can you please delete my number, you're getting annoying." FML
Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years sent me a text message saying, "Don't worry I'm gonna break up with her soon. Love you." FML
Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I know he's your friend but it appears he really needs professional help. Assuming that you have never discussed being a couple, it now appears that not only is he suffering from depression but he has created a whole fantasy land within his head that you are somehow going out. And that is not a good sign.

Oh wow. That's kind of intense. I'm really sorry. I hope you found a tactful way to tell him that he was mistaken... good luck.

Maybe he meant if ye're friendship 'broke up'. Ye must be quite close if he can speak freely about his depression. It's not always an easy subject.

I agree with the guy above me. OP, get out of there fast. That stuff will ruin your life if you let it get a hold of you. Trust me, I know. I almost lost my friends because of a crazy ex.

Noob? That means new player Adam, I am not a noob sorry. Your an idiot go learn what noob means, Now go have mommy and daddy defend you

noob =/= newb.
crankyadam 0
*facepalms* newb means new player not noob...
LilaBear 2
noob is just a derivative of 'newb'. A newbie/newb is someone who is new to something and therefore inexperienced and lacking in understanding/knowledge, a noob is someone lacking in understanding/knowledge no matter how much experience they have. Either way they're both lacking in understanding and knowledge and are pretty similar. But, due to the annoying nature of the latter (noob), it is often used as an insult in other areas too. (Like people use "retard" as an insult even to people who aren't actually retarded). So perhaps Natalie, the one who can't spell "you're" and doesn't realise the phrase is "must HAVE" not "must OF" and disparages someone for the misuse of a word when she herself doesn't know it, is the idiot, and should be the one going off to learn what noob means.

Now, after that terrible rant you just went through about "puntcuation" and "grammar", you spelled "REALIZE" wrong...that, my friend, is a complete FAIL. So before you go off on someone about something, please, just don't. Oh yeah and btw...OWNED!
_under_score_ 0
Well, technically the correct and original spelling of that word is 'realise'. However, it all depends on what country/region you are in. As far as I know, the US is the only place in the world that spells it 'realize', so you kinda fail...
AngelofMercy 0
Love how you call it a derivative...Hahahaha. I'm not mocking you- that was actually quite clever.
derekconekt 0
So...if I'm FROM the US...where it IS spelled "realize"...then you're a fail as well. Sorry. Try again =p

So we should all spell it the American way, because derekconekt is from the US. Never mind just spelling things the way they are spelled in the country where the commenter is. Okay, but seriously, it doesn't matter. These British vs. American spelling wars drive me absolutely batty. Both spellings are correct, and anyone from either country can understand the other spelling just fine. Besides, I'm sure half of you don't realize (yes, I'm from the us) some of the differences. How many of you would call me out for using grey instead of gray? Probably none, but 'grey' is the British spelling and 'gray' is the American. Post using whatever spelling you're used to.

Darling. Be more open to other continents/countries. They use different spellings from you Americans.
Susanbelle12 0
I actually like British spelling better, and I'm American... ever since first grade I've spelled Gray "grey" and mom "mum".

Good idea to get this guy some help before he ***** up your life or you **** up his....
alitairi 18
sorry but OP isn't ******* up his life, especially not if they set him straight on the dating thing. while totally ignoring it would be irresponsible, OP should not feel obligated to go out of their comfort zone, no matter the outcome.

"Break-up" with him. It's his life not yours and if he plans on holding himself hostage then that's not a guy you should talk to.
LilaBear 2
FYL. That sucks. Break up with him anyway. It's his decision to kill himself, not yours. He's essentially blackmailing you and kidnapping your right to make your own personal decisions by saying that.
tarana 0
I totally agree. I was in a relationship like this and felt trapped, like I had to do anything to make him happy so that he didn't kill himself. I finally realized that it was his choice, not mine, and I wouldn't let him hold my body captive like that, and I broke up with him. He didn't end up killing himself, but even if he did, I wouldn't have felt guilty about it.

She didn't even know they were dating... =/

Yeah....See, funny thing: depressed people don't generally consciously intend to manipulate, and aren't aware of the fact that statements like the aforementioned are inappropriate and selfishly motivated.... If this fellow is using it as a cry for attention, then, hell- get him some professional attention. Anyone that makes a suicidal gesture clearly needs some kind of psychiatric assistance.
