“We’re always here for you"

This

Oh my god, this place is full of...Redditors!

I remember someone posting a asklemmy question about the "benefits of smoking" 🤦‍♂️

I feel bad for the person

Edit: I found the post, original post has been removed, but here's my instance's version that didn't receive the deletion request: https://reddthat.com/post/822703

yeah I have a feelong the breakup immediately meme was started by a bunch of butthurt incel/meninist/redpiller types who would do such a thing in a relationship and don't like it.

I really don't think so and I can say that from experience.

The reason I've posted about it before is because I can't afford relationship counseling or even counseling for myself. And if I go to family, it's hard for family to break away from that bias of defending you. So naturally you expect strangers to provide better advice.

That being said, yes I agree. If you're looking for advice over stuff that is habitual, it probably warrants a breakup. My issue is that r/relationshipadvice is so fucking horrible that nearly every single post the consensus is to break up, even over minor issues. That part pisses me off. And I respectfully disagree. A lot of relationships ARE hard, and it really just depends on the dynamics. That doesn't mean it has to consist of constant arguments and disagreements though.

Don't you see all the red flags??? You should totally leave him.

Hey, dude, I feel I somewhat understand you, because I was the same, and am the same. But here's something I learned a while ago that helped (obviously didn't kill it). It's by now a cliche and is totally commercialized, but hey, if it works.

Habit 1: Be Proactive: Focus and act on what you can control and influence instead of what you can’t.

There are a lot of things you can't control/have causal effects in life. You will kill yourself worrying about them. Drop the bad news you can't change. If you already know who you are going to vote for, just don't read the political news. Do you parts for the climate change and forget the rest. etc.

Live long and prosper.

Can't really say it's not that bad so I'll just say that I hope that your tomorrow is slightly better than your today. Also there are a lot of people that value you as a human and want you in their community. Fascists are just louder (and more dangerous). Sending you love.

Damn… Yeah, it‘s rough. Life is never all butterflies and rainbows, but it‘s also easy to forget that there is also much potential for good things to happen as well: Indulging in new and old hobbies, the next night out with friends, some really good food, a weekend trip to somewhere interesting and so much more. It‘s important to shift perspective from time to time. Keeping a journal for what you‘re grateful for/happy about is one technique to iron out that negativity bias a bit. Note that this is not the be all and end all solution for keeping all depressing thoughts at bay. If it‘s still a problem, please seek professional help.

Take heart. America, like all developed nations, can’t live without immigrants to counteract its declining birth rate. If you live in fear that all immigrants will be expunged, you can relax.

Meanwhile women have already been targeted and shot at and hit because one of the last elections didn’t go well. Gay and trans people are being erased from places like a Florida and Texas right now.

Turn that anxiety into volunteer hours registering voters, or helping women access critical healthcare.

And yet I’d be good if my electric bill wasn’t $350

Idk if it helps but a friend of mine has similar problems with depression because of the world going to shit. (Even though here problems aren't so severe). I once showed her the Solarpunk genre/Movement and it worked (at least a bit). It let a bit of sunlight and hope in her heart and she has fallen directly in love with it in the same way I did. So maybe it helps a bit looking into it and get a bit of a hope boost.

Exactly, it really shows that English is my second language haha

But there’s research to prove that’s not a thing. Copy-catting maybe, but you’ll never “give them the idea”. If they’re in that bad of a spot, they’re there already -source: suicide prevention trainer, but not mental health professional

It's much more dangerous not to ask about suicide than to ask about it. The myth you're spreading is ridiculously dangerous and you should really stop. Just simply stating it as a matter of fact like you did is enough to keep perpetuating it. It's harmful and you should stop. You should even modify the comment as people are upvoting it and clearly believe it.

Most suicidal people just want to flirt with the idea a bit, it's better to allow them to go through that process openly so they can recover faster. For those who are serious, it's not clear that forcing them to stick around is better either IMO.

Better out then in!

To add to the good point argv made, far too many therapists (and other healthcare professionals) on both sides of mainstream politics believe that it's all down to personal responsibility and refuse to address the systemic issues we face for what they are - massively oppressive and entirely beyond our control.

It's unfortunately what you get when the medical institution is as bias and even bigoted as the rest of society. :/

The right wing's entire ideology is “fuck you, I don't care whether you live or die”, and they're firmly in favor of the various forms of oppression that drive people to suicide in the first place, so yeah, taking mental health advice from a rightist isn't the best idea.

Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

Sometimes you need to go down more to learn the art of acceptance. Embrace that darkness.
