Simple solution

By lacieQ - 01/08/2014 20:09 - Canada

Today, I confided to my grandma that I'm suffering from depression and I feel like a burden to everyone. She replied that her grandpa used to suffer from depression too, but that he'd cured himself in the end, namely by committing suicide. Thanks, grandma, thanks. FML

I'm sorry OP that was so insensitive of your grandmother to say. Keep your head up, it'll get better and know there's people out there to genuinely help you if you need someone to talk to.

Just because someone says something, doesn't mean you have to accept it. Always remember that you are important! You matter to someone, and if you smile once every day, things will get better.

This is when you start poking people at funerals saying, "You're next..."

You would think she would be more sensitive to the issue knowing that her dad committed suicide.

That sucks. There is always people that can talk to you and help you through things.

My gma has said some not so great things to me before but don't think that what she says is an answer to anything. Some time life is hard and you have to power through it and know that things will be better in the end :) keep your chin up

Your grandma confides in you that her husband committed suicide, and it all about you, oh FML! I seriously don't mean this on a bad way, but direct your attention outward, care about others, and see what that does for your depression. (Given your family history, it may take some therapy and maybe medication too, but that's a start.)

Since you're so great and care so much about others, maybe you could've made the effort of actually reading her story: the grandmother's grandpa killed himself, not her husband.

You make it sound like OP is self-centered for being offended about getting told to commit suicide by her own grandmother. If you were depressed and were asking for help and your family suggest killing yourself, wouldn't you be a little upset?

You need to re-read this FML PROPERLY. And OP's grandmother in a way suggested suicide as a "cure" to OP while OP was trying to get help by confiding in her that they feel like a burden to everyone. I don't think that's insensitive. And I think you wouldn't find it as insensitive either if you would properly re-read this FML and see who their grandma was really talking about.

I'm sorry to hear that. I think I speak for many of us when I say that the FML community would rather that you not die and that a better cure would be to spend more time with us here sharing our crazy stories.

Wow that's really shitty. It always sucks when people can't bring themselves to be caring even if they don't fully understand the problem. I'm so sorry Op.

The older a person gets, the less functional their brain to mouth filter! Sorry for your loss!
