Family, Video games and Love: Support system

Support system

Today, I found out my cousin - who suffers from bipolar disorder - shot herself in the chest and has only a 20 percent chance of living. I told my boyfriend, while crying, and he held me for a few minutes. As soon as I got quiet, he pulled out his iPhone and started playing a shooter game. FML

Today, my cousin suddenly confided in me that he had tried to commit suicide by overdosing when he was 17. Shocked and not knowing how to respond, I blurted out, "Did it work?" FML

Today, during a text conversation with a girl I've been trying to get with, she complained about how crummy of a day she was having. I told her it couldn't be as bad as she thought, and she would probably get it over it soon. Then she told me she had found out her cousin had been murdered. FML

Today, I woke up crying in the middle of a nightmare in which my boyfriend of 8 months shot me through the heart whilst laughing as I screamed 'I Love You'. After I told him about this, he took me into his arms as I cried, stroked my back and said, 'What kind of gun was it?' FML

Today, my grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer. We're very close, and I called my boyfriend, really needing some support. I'd barely told him what had happened, when he replied, "Babe, I'm in the middle of a game here. Call me later." FML

Today, I found out that my girlfriend of one week is suicidal and crazy about me. She showed me that she'd carved her old boyfriend's name in her arm, and she threatened suicide if I ever left her. FML

Today, I was feeling really sick when I was with my boyfriend at the park. When we were walking, I got really dizzy and collapsed. My boyfriend didn't catch me. His mom took me to the hospital. While I was being poked with needles, he was at home playing COD. FML

Today, I poured my heart out to my now ex-girlfriend over the recent passing away of my grandmother. Her eyes glazed over multiple times, and when I said that I don't know how to cope with everything, her advice was simply, "Shotgun. Mouth. Blam." FML

Today, my cousin posted an article on Facebook with the caption, "This warms my heart." The article was about a teenager who was bullied to suicide for being gay. FML

That's sad, OP. Hope your cousin and your family get through this OK. Talk to the bf. He needs to be told straight to his face what he did was horrible. If he made a legitimate mistake (totally could happen, they don't always think these things through), then try to forgive him. If he was intentionally trying to make a joke? He's to be dumped and pitied; karma is a bitch.

Suicide is a shit way out anyway. I have no sympathy for people who can't deal with life...or for people who would go "oh what a great FML" in the midst of all their "grief". You're no better than your BF.

@ ArrowLCMC I don't think you understand bipolar. I believe that the reason OP mentioned her cousin is bipolar is exactly so people wouldn't say that about suicide. I agree that under normal circumstances suicide is the coward's way out, but being bipolar completely changes that. It's manic depressive as in you go from really really high to really really low and in the low chances of suicidal tendencies are obviously very high. It's not a controlled decision.

suicide is a great way out for bellends like you who proudly share their idiocy on a public forum when they don't understand a thing about the situation at hand. I do agree with your point about writing an FML about it though. So, swings and roundabouts.

"under normal circumstances suicide is the coward's way out" Oh I doubt you'll find many people that commit suicide who are mentally and emotionally well. Calling someone who, whether due to mental illness/something causing them much pain in their lives, wants to end it a coward is ******* disgusting.

Bipolar's not always manic depressive. And depressive episodes don't always correlate to suicidal thoughts. It's just an extreme of emotions that change in an instant.

What do you mean, bipolar is not always manic-depressive? Bipolar is synonymous with manic-depressive disorder. If it was anything but manic-depressive it would not be bipolar, it would be depression, or mania, or some other mental disorder. It's episodes of both, which is why it's called bipolar.

I don't know if it's something you're gonna want to hear, but you could take consolation in the fact that if she doesn't make it, at least she won't be suffering any more.
