I know I certainly sounded like a lunatic as the only one with a ps3 singing it's praises on US launch to my friends before there was Dark Souls hype everywhere and explaining how this beautiful misery was very sublime let me tell you about why this game stomping my balls is fantastic

When I was in a mental institution, they had a bulletin board (no tacks of course, it was all sticky paper) that just had a whole bunch of those minion Facebook memes that someone printed out.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

They would let you set up your breakfast order for the next day and had a choice for either caffeinated or decaf coffee but kept giving you decaf either way the fucks and when confronted would be coy but you can't hide that poo poo!!!

yes. i signed a waiver saying I was okay with that. actually funny story, I tried contacting the police and the DOJ to get myself restricted from buying a gun because I knew I was suicidal and they were blindsided by the question. there's no way to voluntarily make yourself unable to buy a gun.

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

- Do you ever wonder whether you're the sane one and it's everyone else who's crazy?

- Did you ever see 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'? If so, how do you stand being around mental health professionals?

- Isn't killing yourself the same as killing everyone else on the planet if you think about it?

- Doesn't depression seem like a natural response to the intensely dehumanising and meaningless modern world?

- Why is sex therapy legal but THY RAPE SEX, an anagram, not legal? Was this legal loophole the source of your madness?

- What's a computer?

i'm personally very glad you didn't kill yourself as i had an ex girlfriend who killed herself some time after i stopped seeing her and its been almost a decade and i'm still not really right to be honest, it really hurts the people who care about you a lot. if you kill yourself gently caress you

you probably should have killed yourself.

what's better trying to salvage a lovely life or a potential restart? even if you do your best from here on it's not going to be as good as if you weren't a gently caress up to begin with.

no, but I did wonder a few times if I might be as divorced from reality as some of the people I met in there and just didn't know it.

i read it. however, all of the staff were very nice and professional.

it'll take some more therapy to get to the bottom of that.

i'm sorry for your loss. i'm sure you're kidding about that last part but you really don't know what it's like unless you've been at that point. please don't judge people who commit suicide.


Jose Mengelez posted:

they did and i had 99 texts when I turned it back on.


Three Olives posted:

So what was the plan, method and date?

i was going to acquire a gun today or tomorrow. i was planning to do it legally so it would then be 10 days from now that I would have killed myself. i was going to shoot myself in the head with a shotgun in an alley I know of, to make the mess easy to clean, with a note on my desk as to what had happened and where they could find the body. I also have access to the roof of a high rise building that I could jump off of if anything went wrong with that plan. i no longer have any intention of killing myself whatsoever.


ORIGINAL GANGSTER posted:

why do/did you want to kill yourself?

i had some emotional/social challenges that triggered a really severe depressive episode. i'd left my depression untreated for about 10 years, so i had spent all that time beating myself up and feeding into my own low self esteem. i felt that i had completely forgotten any motivation to go on, and i couldn't even understand why others felt motivated to do things in their lives.

thank you for your kind words. it probably is pretty easy to get laid at group therapy, but it seems like you might be saying you want to deliberately take advantage of vulnerable women.
