Venting there is no point in talking to anyone

[c0rps3_l1k3]

people always say they want to be a shoulder to cry on and then neglect your feelings and hurt you. in my life at least i have found there is no point in reaching out for help, no one takes anything seriously anyways. mental health jargon has been so mainstreamed now that saying that youre depressed/suicidal doesnt make people even consider youre in real pain anymore, they just assume youre a bored teen. im so sick of going to people and having them say theyre struggling too and then listening to them for a solid hour instead. im so lonely because people are so goddamn selfish and inattentive. i have friends, many even, yet i can never get the help i need or even the recognition. there is no point in me asking for help anymore and im sick of that being the advice from professionals. there's no support system to build. no one is gonna listen to me talk it out, no one gives a fuck.

Some people may be interested and may want to help you, but it doesn't matter much.

No amount of talking it out is gonna do shit for me. I'm fucked. It's bizarre to me that a lot of people think that's the solution.

Most people's "strategy" while helping a depressed person in filling him with "hopie-um" no matter how unsolvable the situation is, the depressed is always at fault for not trying enough.

I wouldn't put a good therapist in this category though, if someone has a relationship problem, some transient life event or some other minor issue.
