So I have recently been very depressed, tried to kill myself, failed, got hospitalized so things aren't easy now. But I hate it so much when people say stuff like 'this helps with my anxiety and depression' or 'my incoming meltdown' ect

It just pisses me off

Also, seeing other people's uncut arms makes me really nauseous.

Please explain

        Its a pretty crappy thing to joke on a genuine post from someone with ongoing mental health concerns and who is possibly recovering from self harm as well as a suicide attempt.

          I think you may be in the wrong place.

    It's ok for you to talk about your depression but it isn't ok for others? I'm having trouble seeing your logic.

      No, it's just that it feels that other people are acting like their problems are such a big deal even when they aren't. And I know I don't know what they are going through, which is why I asked for help

    Do you mean how flippant some people are just talking about how theyre depressed n shit when theyre really just a bit down? I think that would be pretty normal for someone who has been through what you have. If you mean people just talking about what helps their genuine depression or anxiety then I guess maybe it stems from frustration at their being further down the recovery path than you? I donno. Just a theory.

    You need to focus more on yourself, treating your depression instead of what other people are doing that annoys you.
