News to me

Today, I was texting my friend. He has a history of depression, which we were talking about, and somehow, he turned the conversation to, "If we ever broke up, I would kill myself." I didn't even know we were even going out. FML

Today, I was flirting with a guy and we ended up having a deep conversation through text. We were talking all our problems, and saying really sweet things to each other. I THOUGHT he was going to say something else really sweet and cute. He linked me to Suicide Hotline instead. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend of nine months that depression runs in my family and I think the reason I've been flipping shit so much lately may be that I am depressed. Not five minutes later he decided a break would be "the best thing for us right now." FML

Today, I was talking to a colleague about love. He told me he's given up on love because things ended badly with a previous girl. I said, "Maybe it wasn't meant to be, and she wasn't the one." He then said the reason it didn't work out was because she killed herself. FML

Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML

Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". FML

I know he's your friend but it appears he really needs professional help. Assuming that you have never discussed being a couple, it now appears that not only is he suffering from depression but he has created a whole fantasy land within his head that you are somehow going out. And that is not a good sign.

Oh wow. That's kind of intense. I'm really sorry. I hope you found a tactful way to tell him that he was mistaken... good luck.

I'm sorry to hear this... It's happened to me before unfortunately... You just have to tell him straight up how you feel but not to harsh... I'm sorry to ANYONE who has to deal with that. Get him help but still talk to him regularly. I hope you figure things out!!!

Wow.Thats not good.but like most people have been saying ,hes probably doing it for attention.I've had two close friends of mine kill themselves and not once did they ever mention they were going to do it.the signs were there it just wasnt obvious.it was a shock to all of us.Even so just to be on the safe side you should really get him some help.You shouldnt be stuck in a relationship because your afraid of what he'll do.good luck and i hope things get better.

Just tell him you were never together, so technically you're not breaking up with him. So technically he's not allowed to kill himself. He sounds like a moron anyway, so it shouldn't be THAT difficult to outwit him.

Oh, but of course this "FML" totally indicates that this friend is a moron. It's painfully obvious that people with severe depression are morons. *rolls eyes* maybe if you look at it from another point of view, you'd understand why someone could say something like that. Sure, it doesn't make it right, and in a way saying things like that is kind of selfish and manipulative, but generally the depressed person is not aware of that fact- they are just trying to cling on to what little hope they have left.
