Today, I had a mental breakdown after going through severe depression for several years. I told my boyfriend that everybody thinks I'm useless, to which he replied, "No you're not. You cook me good dinners." FML

I think cooking good dinners is better than being a crappy cook, nice work!

Tigg3r -- glad you've got the time to troll Wiki all day just to prove an internet user wrong with what was meant to be a JOKING comment. As for the FML itself, I don't see how what he said was a bad thing, he was attempting to compliment her, I guess it just kind of came out wrong.

I'm sure someone has already said this, but if you really were suicidal I seriously doubt you would have made "Suicidal" your FML account user name. "Desperate for Attention" is more like it. But seriously, if you feel that badly get a therapist or something.

They say it's the ones who don't talk about it who do it, but I've seen both -- seriously suicidal people who don't tell anyone, and equally ill ones who think everyone should know. Of course, emos still piss me the hell off. They're only serious about getting attention. You're absolutely right about therapy. I hate when people complain about how bad they feel but don't do anything to help themselves.

OP needs to appreciate what she has. I doubt I would put up with years of someone's depression where they jump on every compliment and twist it to seem like an FML. What could be sweeter than to respond to say you mean something special to me? If the OP finds that compliment demeaning, then she needs to prove the world wrong by doing something more with her life. An attitude of blaming everyone else, the boyfriend in this case, never works.

Now, if you said people thought you "worthless" I might think his rejoinder self-serving and insensitive. But the word you used was "useless" -- which can be defined as "Being or having no beneficial use". So I think your boyfriend gave an example of a beneficial use you provide and that he appreciates, to reassure you. Annoyingly literal-minded, but he probably meant well.

I'll fix your car after you pop out a couple of babies and make me some food.

...you whine about the big mean old FML people making fun of the poor "clinically depressed" girl (and what gives YOU alone the ability to diagnose her, while telling us that WE "don't know what her life is like") and then you try and say "I'm getting mean? Too bad!" So basically you're saying its OK for you to "be mean" on FML and for you to diagnose the conditions of people on FML, but anyone else who does is wrong. Talk about hypocritical and badly written. Go whine about "neanderthal men" and "oppression" somewhere else.

I had to deal with a girl like the OP everyday for four months. I eventually flipped shit, got away from her and have never been happier. srsly

I hate it when people love to bring up depression as an excuse, a person with diabetes doesn't bring up their diabetes all the time, its people like the OP that piss me off
