- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Mine is: “睇橋” (Visiting the bridge)
Its a euphemism for me wanting to kill myself.
There's a bridge near where I live, I looked it up on Google Street view. There's no suicide barriers. I could just jump off.
I say that to my mother, then she just be like "want me to drive you there?" (she knows I'm talking about suicide) as like taunting me or something.
(But seriously, I'm not sure about the lethality, don't wanna end up only half dead, so nah, probably gonna get a gun for that. It's 'Murica, baby)
Before that, may I suggest to visit a therapist?
What do you have to lose? On the flip side if you end up realising that your depression can be addressed, you may enjoy life again
that is a cunt ass thing for a parent to say to their kid (for anyone to say to anyone really)
It can depend a LOT on the existing family dynamics. It could be harsh as fuck. However it could also be a way to say both "stop being a drama queen" and "you have my support and my ear in whatever you do".
