    On one hand, lmao good meme

    On the other, I genuinely wish depressed/suicidal people would dedicate their life to a random cause instead of offing themselves

      Man, half the reason is that the struggle is unbearable and never ends. “Go involve yourself more in the struggle” isn’t really an answer to that.

        It can be. Struggling is part of life, meaning makes struggle worth it. Meaning can change ones outlook from it never ends to I can move the needle, even just a little.

          Meaning? Ha! And that needle you can do freely move? Doesn’t even exist for us. 👍

          Ever been deeply, clinically, chronically depressed to the point of suicidal thoughts and possibly have exhausted clinical treatments?

          Are you a medical professional offering a legitimate treatment?

          No?

          Maybe you should sit down and not offer such reductionist advice regarding conditions you apparently do not understand.

      It really doesn’t work that way. You can work in charity and still deal with mental illness and suicidal ideation.

      Yeah it doesn’t work that way bro.

      Take the most debilitating pain you’ve ever endured in your life, amp it up to “11”, and then live with it every single day from here until you die. 24/7.

      Then when you think you might have a handle on managing it, have people like yourself make such dismissive comments on how you should dedicate your life to some “random cause” instead.
