Today, I opened up to my best friend about my depression. Her response: "If you're so depressed, why don't you just kill yourself?" FML
I agree, your life sucks 31 213
You deserved it 2 217

Same thing different taste

That's ****** up. Please don't listen to her and seek help from someone who actually cares about your wellbeing.

I suggest you get a new supportive friend OP.

That's really horrible. I'm sorry s/he said that to you. Don't listen. Your life is worth it. I, too, struggle with depression. While it will never go away I currently have it under control so it is possible to live with depression. I was even able to get off my medication with talk therapy helping me. Please reach out to someone if you haven't already. Someone who will take you seriously, like a professional. Nothing wrong with going to talk therapy or meds if you need them. Please let us know you're ok!

I want you to try something for me. I want you to cut out all refined carbs out of your diet for a month and work out and tell me if you feel different. I eat 3 slices of pizza and for the next two days I'm suicidal depressed. Please try it out there is a link.

I can't wait to tell my friend who can't eat pizza or other gluten foods and exercises every day that his imaginary pizza makes him depressed and suicidal. Please tell us more about this.

There is no link between carbs and depression, you've just fallen for the latest pseudoscience of the week, and you're spreading it like a plague.

So, you don't have a clue what a depression is, now do you?

A "friend" who thinks you should kill yourself is not your friend.

Although I completely understand that her question was totally out of line, she may have been legitimately curious. She might have been wondering if you were so depressed, why have you not killed yourself yet. It's completely insensitive and out of line, but she may just be really oblivious. Of course, I wasn't there so I wouldn't know, maybe she was intentionally being an insensitive bitch.

So what if she was legitimately curious? Doesn't make anything better if she was.

That's actually illegal to tell someone to kill themselves

First off you need a new friend and second please do not listen to your "friend ". I hope your friend realizes she/he can be charged for involuntary manslaughter if they say that to someone and they actually do it..at least that's what they do in the USA. Idk about the Netherlands.

NEWSFLASH: That's not your best friend.

What a douchebag friend. There's plenty of community resources you can use as well as some better friends.

Apathy isn't a good response for depression. ?
