Discussion if someone looked at your social networks now, would there be signs that you are a potential suicide?

[onthelastday]

I used facebook for the last time in 2018, and there were some publications on mental suffering and suicide, but nobody cares, currently I shut up, there are only a few tweets about how much I want to die, nobody knows I'm going to, the only good thing about anyone caring is also nobody getting in the way.

 

[WornOutLife]

I used to post stuff almost everyday on facebook and instagram. Let's say I was a poser.
Now, I've been really inactive for some years. I post seldom there.

Some people have sent me messages such as "are you okay?" "where are you?" but I've just ignored them so I guess they know something is going on.

 

[Chesswiz2002]

Nah, I'm paranoid of the surveillance state so I make sure all my accounts on public social networks are totally clean.

 

[WatermelonMel]

The only signs would be casual jokes I make about suicide as it lets me express myself without pro-lifers freaking out

 

[Symbiote]

Hard to have a social media profile with no actual friends, but a ton of fake accounts that keep on telling me to visit their OnlyFans.

 

[DunnoWhyButYeah]

No, I don't think so no one can guess how I truly feel. Last time I posted a picture where I was happy and writed how wonderful my evening is with friends and few hours later I was in ambulance...

 

[Ardesevent]

Maybe? Other than this site the only thing related to social media I've had is Discord, and I was a member of a few servers about mental health problems. I've left most of them by now, though.

 

[loopylou]

Yes.

 

[LastFlowers]

What social networks..

 

[Thanatonaut]

Well considering I've done nothing but post in gory details how the military and the VA have completely fucked my life up, and now will do nothing to help me and I'm destined to be yet another veteran statistic and the most I usually get are sad emojis, I'd say yes, and apparently that's ok with everyone.

 

[BluesRunTheGame]

Definitely. Loads of regrettable drunk poems still on there, many of which are about depression.

I do like to cheer my friends and family up...

 

[StringPuppet]

On Facebook I used to post stuff about wanting to die all the time and nobody cared

Me too :)

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Maybe. There have definitely been some posts long ago that clearly state it but they're probably buried by now.

 

[BornBrief]

I've gone through so many phases of social media deactivation and ghosting throughout the years when I would go through a depressive phase or a toxic relationship... Most of the people who knows me probably wouldn't be surprised.

If somebody REALLY REALLY wants to CTB then you tell NOBODY! Don't tell the Doc don't tell your parents don't tell your friends. Just find your method and go. If you want to stay then you tell people. Some of them might help sometimes they will not help and make it worse. I personally dont care about my social media life but I have nobody breathing down my neck either.

 

[Dutchyala]

No, I pretend to be happy on my social accounts. I hide that I have autism too because I learned that people avoid you like it's some kind of contagious disease. Or that you are too retarded to understand things.

I tried to talk privately with people that said were my friends and that I could always count on them. They post beautiful things about awareness and helping others in need. You can always PM me if you want to talk.But when you talk to them they start to become distant. So I learned that this isn't a good idea. I hate this fakeness on social media. People wanting to look good and compassionate but it's do as I say not as I do kind of thing.

Do most people REALLY want to CTB just for the hell of it, though? Telling people doesn't automatically mean you want to stay, it's just reaching out for help with whatever's got you circling the drain. This being the shitty world it is, help seldom arrives in the form we need. Usually it's just "Stay alive and keep suffering." Fuck that noise.

People I know , know I'm suicidal. Why does that mean I don't really want to do it?

 

[Pen>Sword]

No. I have been inactive in Facebook for such a long time ago. I don't think anyone cares about me other than my parents and my bestfriend who I'm estranged with. My profile is just full of outdated "Happy Birthday" greetings from years ago. I don't post as much opinions in my profile, and none of it mentions about being depressed or suicidal. Facebook is my only social media, unless if you count Reddit and Youtube. If those count, then you'll see some tiny hints that I'm depressed.

 

[lofticries]

Too paranoid for social networking. Not to mention serves no purpose for me since I don't have nor am I looking for friends.

I have other sites where I'm active though and not suicidal at all on those.

 

[OpheliasFlowers]

I've posted often about my depression and anxiety, and about how tired I am of life, etc but no one responds much past "It'll be ok" or "I'm there if you want to chat" (don't always believe that offer now though after how many times I've tried talking to people and they don't reply back, or just send some short response that doesn't even address 99% of what I'd shared with/told them) or just a "care" reaction but no comment. I realize people have their own stuff going on, and some people ARE just that oblivious...but if they really looked at my collective posts, and heard (read) what I was saying in a not-so-blatant way, they'd have a pretty good idea what my state of mind is. Lately though, I don't say anything anymore. I don't want the interference and I'm too tired these days to even correspond with anybody anyway.

 

[Celerity]

Besides the fact that I never post, no

 

[TowerUpright]

Nope. Not at all.

My point is there are types of CTB where you dont want to be stopped and there are types of CTB where someone does want to be stopped. I understand there are many many different scenarios and everybody has certain circumstances personal to them. Sometimes we just need attention and love.

 

[usernameforhere]

Nope, that's all "happy birthday" liking pictures people post and promising I'll show up to things I have no intentions of doing. I don't mean to lie but I don't want to worry people.

there's something this weekend I'd actually like to go to and see some people one last time but I worry they will feel badly next week.

 

[Carrotcake]

No, I would never share suicidal/depression related stuff on social media. I rarely share anything at all.

It does depend on the certain situation. Once in a blue moon real help might actually come.

 

[IWantToSleep]

I think I come across as suicidal to everyone I talk to on messenger, lol.
