Mental health, Facebook and Social Media: Not a laughing matter

Not a laughing matter

By Anonymous - 26/02/2014 09:31 - United States - Las Vegas

Today, on Facebook, someone wrote a status implying that she was going to kill herself. I called a mutual friend, asking to check up on her. The next status the girl puts up said, "Someone thought I was going to commit suicide! Haha what a loser!" FML

Today, I was just browsing Facebook when my friend sent me a GoFundMe link. Someone wrote a page saying I killed myself and that we need money for funeral services. People are actually donating to it. FML

Today, I complained about being bored to death on Facebook. Someone took it as a suicide threat and called the police. They showed up at my apartment and my workplace. FML

Today, a friend posted the Facebook status "Ahhh... relief." Trying to be funny, I replied "Why? Did you just poop?" A few hours later, I read her previous posts and found out her dad's in the hospital having heart surgery. Now everyone thinks I'm a heartless dick. FML

Today, I logged onto Facebook to see one of my "friends" had used my account to post a coming-out story. It had comments on it such as "I knew it!" "Finally." and "That explains so much." FML

Today, a friend thought it would be funny to make a R.I.P. page for me on Facebook. Most liked post? "Too bad this page is fake." FML

Today, I saw the girl I had started dating changed her Facebook relationship status to "In a relationship". Naturally, I changed mine too. The next time I logged on, she had commented, "Really?! Who?!" She was serious. FML

Today, to give the illusion that I have friends, I wrote an outrageous status on Facebook, and then pretended it was the result of a friend hacking my page, all in the hope that it would get comments, likes, or at least some attention. Nothing happened. FML

Today, this girl I liked made her Facebook status "Nobody texts me anymore, message me numbers?" I commented that I texted her. She deleted it and changed it to "Nobody that I care about texts me anymore, message me numbers?" FML

Today, I was confiding in my dad over the phone, after I caught my girlfriend cheating on me. After I hung up and went online, I noticed he'd been live-blogging the whole call on Facebook and commenting that he was considering suicide to escape the boredom. FML

I dont know whether you should be proud or sick that you're the ONLY person that cared enough to check on her. I have heard of people putting up statuses that hinted towards suicide before actually killing themselves, its really sad and definitely no joke. Please don't stop being an excellent human being.

if no-one said anything then she'd have posted her next status as "no one cares about me." You can't win with people like that. At least we know you're a caring friend though.

That girl is an idiot. Commiting suicide is no laughing matter.

I'd post a link to this FML in the comments of her status, or even on her wall where everyone can see it, along with screenshots of both statuses. Shame the attention seeking bitch into not being so ******* stupid.

Tell this person it was you and that they need to quit posting stuff like that. You did the right thing by far

Hahaha someone trying to be helpful and being concerned! She's the loser for believing that people wouldn't take her seriously. That's not a joking matter. At least you were being a good friend.
