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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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

She does not sound like a true friend by suggesting that. I suggest you seek professional help and ditching her as a friendship.

What the ****? why would she say that? Listen, if you're going through some stuff right now, all I can say is you have to push through it. You have to be strong and make better choices. it could be with people you hang out with and wise life decisions.

Totally depends on the situation and what kind of relationship you 2 have. I know me and my best friends always insult each other for fun. It's something they would have said (as a joke ofc).

"Because I would kill you first..."

People dont seem to realize that if they say that to someone and that person actually kills themselves they can go to jail.
