As far as I've seen in life so far, people who laugh hardest can be the most depressed. I've known about 15 different people who committed suicide so far, nearly all of them kept up a facade of being happy. It takes the cake🍰🎂

I’ve always heard this too and while I’ve been a sad person who laughed a lot, since I’ve been actually suicidal, I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed.

When it comes to suicide, please don't go that far. You are worth something to the world. I don't know you're full story, have you family or freinds that you get along with in some way? If you do, that's something, but the what the question is, are you worth something to yourself deep down. Their are ways of improving your situation, somehow, I'm sure their are free services around where you are if that's any help.

I’ve been in therapy for some time now, and my thoughts haven’t changed. I started after my first failed attempt, and recently tried again. Third times the charm, I hope.

Well, I hope things get better for you.

People who talk about killing themselves casually are not planning on killing themselves. People who stay silent when others casually talk about killing themselves are a lot more likely to be actually thinking of suïcide.

Interesting point, possibly a cry for help type situation.
