Today is "WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY"

[sanction]

Did you know today is "World Mental Health Awareness Day" ????

Not sure what to feel about it though lol

Sucks that we're all stuck in this position. But at least we know we're not alone

All the best to everyone that's currently struggling and going through difficult times

lord knows we don't need to be any more aware of our mental health or lack thereof :(

but my school had a whole event with freebies for today just for that.

ironic bc i was supposed to seek help by talking to someone i trust today but that backfired many times, so that kind of did it for me, and i got my ctb things instead
i spent the day panicked and drained,
yesterday i broke down in front of my best friend who tried to help but it only ended up making me feel worse. every piece of advice i get its just like thanks but- that wont fix anything
bright side i have a psychiatrist appointment next week before my ctb items arrive so maybe thatll help

sorry to vent on your post but wishing the best to you and anyone else on here

In my opinion, this should be a day to remind and make certain people guilty. Such as those who have family members or people around them that already CTB, in which those victims had previously reached out and cried to them for help, prior to CTB, but were unfortunately ignored, and instead was accused of crying for fake attention, and were never taken seriously, despite the obvious signs, so they ended up taking their own lives accordingly, and is now no longer with us anymore.

I hope this day will serve as a yearly reminder and make those people feel guilty forever, for ignoring those victims when they were still alive and were clearly asking for support, but were never taken seriously, otherwise the CTB could of been prevented.

Shame on those people for ignoring to help those victims, when they were struggling and begging for help.

And to those victims, rest in peace

(And one day, some of us will also join them, because our cry for help is also being ignored)

I had no idea that was a thing. While I was travelling yesterday I saw like a tent set up and a few speakers with some other people handing out pamphlets. It was mostly generic stuff you'd see on posters in a guidance counselor's office, did not think much of it. Hopefully there are people out there who care about this beyond just saying stuff for 1 day of the year. It is well intentioned but all that feel good, pie in the sky stuff won't really achieve the change they are looking for.

Ironic in such a sick world but yes, for whatever it's worth, a reminder to the world that mental health is an issue.

I didn't realise there were so many International Days - UN list fyi. My favourite is International Day of Potato (30 May)

Too many of us are just painfully stuck here due to lack of simple methods

Had there been more pain-free options available, I can imagine so many of us will vanish in 24 hours

If a proper method was offered to me, I can guarantee I will be gone from this world within 24 hours

God I can't stand those cheesy ass PSAs nowadays. A few years ago I could tell they weren't genuine but now it just feels like mockery seeing those posters to the point I make myself read them like it's a shitty joke. Especially the ones that say stuff like "I deserve to be loved", that shit makes me uncomfortable and makes me laugh at the same time.

"Your mental health matters!" Shut the fuck up, no it doesn't! Don't pretend to care, lying is a sin.

Just people pretending to care…..

 

[Off_Switch]

24 hours to acknowledge it, 8736 hours during the rest of the year to ignore the societal things that strip us of it.

 

[softtodie]

Shit like this is pure bullshit, they never care, they leave us to suffer continuously in a miserable existence

I was not aware.

It's a nice sentiment when it's not patronizing, which it often is. But it's like the old band-aid on a bullet wound.

And for the most part
