"So glad you're not depressed..."

[hahabye]

Have you ever been told anything on those lines by anyone before?

I've just heard this exact line from one of the closest people in my life and I don't even know how to process it. I am more depressed and suicidal than ever now. My postmortem instructions are almost fully written, CTB method and date are planned. And then I get this... It was so sad, funny, and painful all at the same time.

I guess I am just that good of an actress.

What would your reaction be if you heard that coming from someone?

I have heard similar. I have faked happiness my whole life that I also must be a great actor when in fact I am battling and have battled severe depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts my whole life. I always just kinda laugh and don't say anything. I also have my ctb planned and date set, i'm sure people will be shocked, others maybe not so much. Here's hoping I can follow through with it now. Wishing you a peaceful journey friend. I get it.

I've heard it plenty of times!
It seems I'm a great actor because people around me tend to think I'm the happiest human being on Earth.

Anyway, I can't be really honest about my feelings in "the real world" because I couldn't even have a job if I told the truth about how I feel lol.

I did the same, just an awkward smile, and changed the subject... I have been hiding it for as long as I remember as well. But just today, after this, it hit me how shocked some people will be.

I'm hoping the same for myself. Thank you, I wish you the same.

If someone said that to me I would find it pretty amusing because of the irony. However it wouldn't happen as it as though there is a permanent dark cloud hovering over me.
