Today, my boss called me into his office. Expecting a long overdue promotion, I hurried in. Instead, he told me he thought I would be perfect to take his son on a pity date, because he's a suicide risk due to his depression. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss called me into his office. I've been working hard doing extra work so I can get promoted. He called me in to tell me I'm to reliable in my current position, so I won't be moving up. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. My boss called me into her office and congratulated me, and spent almost half an hour asking me what our wedding plans were, where we might honeymoon, if we wanted kids, etc. She then followed this by suddenly remembering she had called me into the office to sack me. FML
Today, my boss gave me a speech about my "motivation issues". I've been working for him for 2 months, the commissions I've made for him paid off his bills, so what are my motivation issues? I turned down his offer of a date. I have a boyfriend. He keeps asking. FML
Today, my boss called me over to his office; he wanted me to fire four hardworking employees. One of them was the girl I was going to ask out. FML
Today, I got a heads-up that my boss suffered a death in the family, but was coming into work anyway. I thought he'd be depressed, but it seems he deals with grief with anger instead. I found that out when he yelled at me, threatening to rip my spine out my ass over a typo I made in a report. FML
Today, I told my new boss to wish his daughter a happy birthday on my behalf, as I overheard him saying it was today. Turns out she committed suicide three years ago. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, my coworker and I agreed to come clean and tell our fellow employees that we have been secretly dating for a while. Before we could, I received a promotion. I'm now his boss. FML
Today, I sat down to discuss wanting a promotion and ended up getting so nervous that I broke down crying in front of my boss. FML
Today, I called my boss to let her know that I was suffering from severe depression and that my doctor suggested I take a month's leave. Her response? "Glad you are getting help, however we can't hold your job. No need to come to the office, we'll mail your stuff to you." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So i guess the bosses son will be getting lucky on your date. Unless you dont care much for your job that is.

At least your boss considered you on dating his son. From what I've heard, workers don't usually get along with their boss. It's a major compliment OP!

Or take him on the pity date and crush his self esteem mercilessly all night then kick him out of the car halfway home. His suicidal tendencies might just be ended with a little tough "love".

going out on a date is not something that can cure deep depression. that is something you need to seek help for.

but maybe the dude ends up liking her, they go out on more dates and he starts to cheer up

But you never know, your new date could be attractive, just one of those brooding silent types though.

Wait, What? 1twilight, do you even know what you are talking about? Have you ever met someone who has such a deep depression that he wants to commit suicide? I can assure you that those people aren't much fun to be with (which is, ofcourse, not their fault, but you can't deny that fact). Why do you (and others) expect OP to sacrifice her time/life (?) to be on a completely unwanted date with a depressed guy? She is not a psychologist, and that is what that boy need. I think it's very, very egoistic from all of you to expect that OP 'saves' that boy. I've been in a depression myself, and I never never never want to be with a depressed person because they ask so ******* much from you that you almost get in a depression yourself. If OP can't handle it (very likely), that boy will feel even more depressed.

70: you bored me, and this is a cite for fun not to post your life stories. You depressed me with your post.

Actually, this site (notice it's site) is open to all. If a person with firsthand experience with an issue wishes to point out a flaw, they're free to do so. It gets boring always seeing comments by incompetent 12 year olds (no offense to the competent ones), so it's nice to see the occasional post made by someone who (probably) knows what they are talking about.

I was in depression back in highschool. doctor suggested anti depressants(can't think of how to spell properly). I told him no and preceded further into depression. My fiance is the one who helped me out of it. So it isnt impossible for OP to help just improbable.

The best way to cure depression/suicidal thoughts is a loaded gun or poison......lots and lots of poison. After they used any of the two they won't be depressed anymore that's for sure!

You can save a life... Your boss would be so grateful for it, you'd probably get your promotion.
