Ordinary Banana

Even when I'm not acutely upset I still think an accidental death sounds pretty okay.

So it has taken me about three years to get back to "walking into traffic" level of suicidality from the actual risk level.

Kind of highlights the problem I have with mental health awareness. Ppl don't understand that there is a difference between the two states.

Similar to how everyone thinks they're depressed now.

If you are severely depressed (major depression), few things are worse to hear than "everyone feels down sometimes" and told to exercise.

And this can have the effect of gaslighting the sufferer into disbelieving what their brain is trying to tell them, "you need HELP".
