Pushing friends away

[Apricity]

I have a few friends that I've been talking to during this unbearably heavy depression that I'm in, and I feel like they're just tired of hearing me. They keep coming with platitudes, and I finally told them to save it. I told them that "get it together" "you'll find someone else" "everything will be ok", is all bullshit and isn't helping me. A couple have stopped replying to me. Anyone else experience this?

I've pushed them away deliberately for their own good. No one wants to hear it. That's what therapists get paid for. It's easy for them because they don't care

That is the exact reason why I keep my distance from others and do not tell anyone about how I feel. People who are not suicidal cannot comprehend what it is like. Hearing platitudes just invalidates the suffering that many of us go through.

Yep nobody wants to hear it, and it's not fair on my friends to push all my problems into them. They have their own problems to deal with, and talking about my problems just pushes them away so I've stopped doing it.

That's why I'm so grateful for sanctioned suicide as it's the only place I feel comfortable to speak about such issues and we all understand eachother.

Anyway, I can't wait to ctb so I'll no longer be an issue for anyone to deal with... Just gotta figure out what antiematics will help ctb whilst using GHB ... Hopefully next week

I cut off all of my former friends in 2020 except for one. But we had a massive falling out anyways as mental illness got the better of him and he went insane. These days I have some acquaintances I talk to from time to time but not any deeply rooted close friendships, I don't think I can do it ever again. Same reason I stopped seeking romantic relationships about 2.5y ago, I just can't handle other people sometimes, as well as them not being able to handle my burden of an existence.

Everybody keeps doing that except me. I will never do that. My friends don't say platitudes. I would not recommend to push people away. But my friends are really good. I think not many people would accept my patterns of behavior.
They often don't know what to answer because they recognize that the desperation is deep.
I am rather scared I will lose them when they have a job/family and have less time...But as long as it is possible I will keep in contact a lot.
