It's been a long year but it's the little victories that count

Thank God for both of you having that strength of character and fortitude! So very glad for you!

Don't thank god, it was their strength alone, don't give credit to someone who doesn't deserve it.

You don't have to believe, but do not guilt somebody over their faith.

sorry, I just get pissed off that people sometimes don't give any credit to the people doing the work and thank something humanity created.

I get pissed off at people who make up reasons to be a jerk

I'm not a jerk, I'm just saying why I don't like the phrase "thank god". If you're getting insulted by me thinking your god doesn't exist, then why can't I be insulted for you thinking he does?

I didn't say you're a jerk, I said you're being a jerk. How did you manage to zero in and fixate on my comment, and why would you be thinking about what you think I meant so much that it overshadows the origin of this thread? How does a vote of support from one suicidally depression person to another insult ypu? I am interested to hear. Because you're not alone, there are a lot of people now who seem to get insulted by people showing support to others, even enraged. I'm seriously interested.

Oh to be clear, your beliefs don't insult me, why would they? They're yours. Not mine. But I'd like to hear the rest of it if you wouldn't mind. I'm a behavioral scientist specifically focused on this kind of emotional reaction to others, that is people who are reactive to other people who aren't actually in a conflict with them. Like people who hate a pretty girl they don't know. You're not doing that, but it's like that. Thanks in advance.

wait, why are you thanking me?

All the other front pagers have 5,000+ right now

I just freaking realized she used Reddit to get all these view on this meme! :o

I now need to carve a pumpkin like that on Halloween

From someone who suffers from PTSD and a variety of other Mental Health Illnesses, and who has been in that situation, I'd like to congratulate him on the first step. The next step is up to you all: give him all the TLC that you can. Motivate him, and just plain support him. Blessings to you both.

Me too. Do the right things & life is very good. Suicide is a permanent solution to what is really a temporary problem. People are resilient.

AWESOME! Best meme today. Blessings my friend :)

You must be blessed by Imgflip, anyways I tend to get off topic! Sounds like he's got his life all figured out now! :)

This must prove it, the mods see a meme they like and they want to make sure it reaches front page, so they add in how many views

174,175 views to be exact, as of 8/22/2016 7:07 pm PST.

Dang, I'm sure the mods put like 170,000 and she actually got 4 thousand, but I'm proud of her and happy for her, I have a girlfriend right now who is going through manic depression and bi polar, and has anxiety issues, i felt so sorry to hear this and I started to act friendly with her, then I asked her out, and she says she loves me and she is alone when I am not with her (how the hell did I go from talking about meme views to this) anyways if it wasn't for me, I know she would have killed her self by now, but she is not a Christian, she doesn't know what she is, she used to "gamble" with Greek gods but now she is nothing, I want to open her heart to Jesus and God, because if she does, she will be loved by me and jesus

It's okay, I tend to get off topic as well, but I really enjoyed reading that! Thanks noXus! ;)

Thanks for making me feel less strange!

Glad he's doing well.

Hope you two are happy

i remember when i found the medication that works for me. is was really nice. good for your man hope he had a frickin awesome birthday

I'm happy for him. :)

Me Too!

It's really hard to get over that sort of thing.

i know but thankfully that hes better now!

get over what , the depression?

Yes

If he had you when he attempted it, then he was very stupid, so when he gets better, you should slap him, but don't forget to explain why :)

Ehh it's not that easy. We've been together for a few years now. Depression warps your mind and lies to you. At the time he was in so much pain nothing I did could help him make it better. I alone did not get him where he is today. If it wasn't for him getting help he wouldn't have made it this far.

I'm glad he took the effort to get help, also that goes by my motto: Participation is the key to success.

This is my motto. It's from Disturbed's song called The Light.

That's a badass motto. I'll have to listen to the song soon

You will love it!

I know the song, that's a good motto

Thank you guys for all the support!! I didn't expect this to get so many views!!

I hope he gets back on his feet, then jumps as high as he can... (That's a metaphors btw)
