Discussion Do you make jokes about suicide? How often?

[rorosbones]

It's so normalized to say this, isn't it? But we better not mean it, or else

lol it's definitely pretty normalized, but with my history of actually trying to kill myself now people don't think it's as funny anymore. smh

A bit too often.

i used to, but like after getting kind of serious about ctb, i dont as much. i could think about suicide as much as i want but i wont even whisper it out loud.
it feels like im breadcrumbing or something and if i manage to commit, people might think i was like secretly calling for help with a joke and feel guilty or wtv it is.

thankfully I was able to drive past without the deer jumping in front of my car, idk what the deer ultimately decided tho

Something about "idk what the deer ultimately decided tho" is incredibly funny to me. I'm genuinely curious now.

I don't remember any specific jokes; they're usually not particularly funny, but I really like to joke about suicide. My close circle of friends knows about my problems, and sometimes they take my jokes with suspicion, but that doesn't stop me from making them

Online? All the time. irl friends? Never because one is ex military and if he caught wind of me wanting to die he would do wellness checks and shit like that

i just don't have any friends in real life. In real life, i only have one person with whom I rarely meet and always communicate online

Never in explicit ways that would cause concern or alarm. Stuff like "if I can't get taco bell I'm going to kms", to which everyone giggles at.

I used to often, but I take more care since telling everyone I'm depressed.
