Feel like deleting my Facebook account. But I still have to keep in in order to stay intouch, whether I like it or not.

Nobody is forced to keep an online account. If there's some specific people you want to keep in contact with, then ask them for their phone number/alternative way to contact. That is of course if you really want to get off of Facebook. Some contacts are better off being cut also, so there's that to consider.

Facebook does that too. People I know are on it but then they show their true colors and they become unlikeable. I was just talking about this recently. How you thought you knew people, and think man they really changed. Then you realize that this is how they really were and they put on a front for in your presence.

Pretty much. That's why I just don't care much for family.

I don't care what anyone goes through mentally, it is selfish for them to take their own life when people die all the time of cancer, or die before their time. So I have zero sympathy for people who do that. It will sound harsh and possibly even wrong, but honestly, good riddance. Granted I've never dealt with mental problems, but the way I see it if you're perfectly healthy physically then there's no fucking excuse, it's just plain selfish to others, especially families.

Mental health can take a physical toll. The problem is that you cannot fix this. The only option is to shove pills down someone's throat. While I think suicide is not the answer, I cannot know how that person felt. Yet imagine being sad everyday all day and having to pretend to be happy so you can function. I have seen what Anxiety can do to people. I have it seen it make people shut down and seen it make people very hyper. Both can be bad in different ways. I think there really needs to be a national debate on this to get people the resources they need, and not be afraid to talk.

Depending on a person's mental health, not going to use the word "fix", but I think it can still be manageable. I think the key thing is to change our everyday patterns. But once you come to the realization that you can't, you begin to start feeling trapped in an endless circle.

Yeah, fixing isn't the right terminology. I've never experienced these issues so I can't ever understand it, but even like that I know that taking your own life is selfish, and causes even more pain to friends/family/those who know you. Hobbies, finding something that gives you good feelings is a process that could help I suppose. But suicides will never get sympathy from me. There are little kids born with diseases that they would die from early in life that would love to be as physically healthy as these mental people.

It's kinda like with alcoholics. They can stay sober for decades, but they don't like to view it as them quitting drinking. Mentally, they prefer to just take it day by day on staying sober.

Similar thing with smokers too. I know smokers who stopped regular cigarettes and use vaping but still consider themselves smokers. It's whatever helps make those people feel comfortable I suppose.

Not sure about smoking. Never smoked before. I do know one of my closest friends tried to stop smoking once, and he acted like a real asshole about it. Where as not drinking only increase your dopamine levels. But I get what you are saying. I'm just saying, I can't relate to smokers the same way I do with drinkers.

The thing is people still think they are what they used to be before as if they never stopped. It's that sort of mindset.

People will tell them to just get over it. Trauma is a real thing. We need to take these things seriously and it is not.

I am sure it is tough, and the appropriate help should be provided, to help them realize that they don't have to break the cycle they live in, just bend it to include a bit of time for themselves to do something that makes them feel happier/in better spirits. Death is never the answer. But the right answer should be given appropriately as well.

Good, he sought out help and took it. Good on him for wanting to make the change. A lot of people struggle even with that part.

I have or had two friends that have schizophrenia, coincidently. Extremely difficult to help them. I kinda get into trouble just interacting with them. It sucks. They seriously need help. I can't do it alone. It's like seeing someone on fire and you can't put it out. All you can do is just stand there and watch. I feel like a hypocrite for saying this, but schizophrenia needs to be taken more seriously.
