Discussion Has talking about your struggles with people helped you in any way, shape or form?

A couple weeks ago I was feeling incredibly suicidal, made plans to fly to japan and blow the rest of my money having as much fun as possible before ctbing. Through these past weeks ive been talking with my friends online about all sorts of things, even telling them my entire life story. And it's really helped me to feel better about things, to the point that i don't think I want to ctb anymore.

100% NO. In fact, i found out that something that gave me 'peace' about a parent's passing was totally incorrect. I believed that narrative for 21 years. 21 years after they passed. Cause the liars thought that was the better way. Fk this life. Fk these normies. Fk their lies. Depend on u only. Cause only thing out their is liars. Hey if u think i also one. So be it. idgaf anymore. Going to drink myself drunk and hopefully die from that. Though i doubt. fkling normies

No. Talking about myself does not make my problems go away. This is why therapy has not worked for me. All therapists want to do is have a friendly little chat instead of actively working with me.

Glad talking helped you OP. Sometimes just getting it out there is all you need.

glad it's helped you out, but unfortunately i can't say the same. doing so in the past has taught me to trust nobody, after i got plenty of welfare checks and multiple hospitalizations for opening up. not to mention all everyone seems to have given me is the same copy/paste words or some generally bs 'advice'. so now even in therapy, i purposely hide as much as i can about my life. not just about my suicidality, but of all the shitty things in life because i know what they'll say will be bull and will not help. sucks that nobody will truly understand it seems like :/
