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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I vented to my friend about how unhappy I am and how I want to kill myself. What did she say? "Don't do that." That was it. FML
Today, my best friend actually had the audacity to try and one-up my suicide attempt story. FML
Today, I told my mom I loved her and she asked if I was going to kill myself. FML
Today, I was feeling suicidal and needed to talk to someone about it, so I called up the only person in the world who cares about me: my mom. Or so I thought. Her immediate response was, “You should go ahead and end it.” FML
Today, I opened up to my parents about my depression. Their response was to have a very heated discussion about whose fault it was. FML
Today, my friend needed to talk out bad feelings. Then she urged me to open up as well. I hate doing it, but it only seemed fair, so I confessed my deep insecurities. Not only did she agree with everything, but she also helpfully added that I'm boring, have no life, and all my dreams are unattainable. FML
Today, my best friend said we couldn't be friends anymore because I'm too depressed or too happy all the time. After explaining for half an hour what bipolar depression was and how I have it he just said, "Bullshit!" FML
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
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, 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!

That's ****** up. Please don't listen to her and seek help from someone who actually cares about your wellbeing.

Why don't you just kill yourself? Because you have a life worth living for. No matter what's going on, it will get better, and don't let her get to you.?

He probably thinks you are joking. Just dont talk to them for a while and surround yoursf with more positive people

Ok I'm hoping this person is now NO LONGER your friend. Not okay at all to say that. Sorry OP I hope you can get some treatment and start to feel better. This is not your fault.

I'm truly sorry to hear this. I have a close friend who killed himself and another that is deeply depressed from the lose of his parents. Depression is a serious illness and shouldn't be taken lightly. I would definently suggest you seek help or look up places to call. There are people who will help you.

Today my friend actually tried to take his own life. His friends now think I'm a raging bitch for having him hospitalized. Hang in there OP, you can fight this depression x

I can't believe that someone could react like that when you confided in them and it's even worse because it's your 'best friend'! Please don't do whatever your so called best friend suggested. Stay strong OP, it will get better. Keep holding on
