I'm sorry, but it had to be said.

Dear MS group,

I wanna talk about the people who self diagnosed themselves with depression, suicidalness, and anxiety.

I understand you may be unhappy right now, bit stop calling yourself depressed, anxious, and suicidal. It's not okay. Those are serious things. Don't diagnose yourself with them to be like the people in this stream. Depression is not a trend, and it's not cool. Being anxious isn't something most of society has, or should have. It's something society says they have.

Faking these things isn't okay. And it can ACTUALLY cause depression. Don't force yourself into darkness for popularity, I've seen it happen to people.

The suicide pacts only influence suicide more. If someone wants to die, don't try and stop them with your death. That helps nothing at all.

I understand worrying right now, but anxiety is different. Anxiety means anxiety attacks where you can't breathe, the room is spinning, and you can't think. My mom has severe anxiety and had an attack yesterday. It's not a trend. Is a big deal, and you shouldn't try to take it.

Hate me if you must from this, but I stand by it.
The fact you people act like you have these things disgusts me. They're all awful things that require lots of care, and you just pretend to have them for attention. My family actually has these problems, and it's not easy. Me and my stepdad have to calm everyone down. It's hard work. And I don't want you guys ending up like my family. (I want to vent, but I shouldn't. It's not the point.) Point is, don't fake serious issues that people have serious problems with. It's rude, disrespectful, awful, and I can't stand watching you turn yourselves into actually depressed people when you were happy before.

So please. It's causing me harm, and I actually have slight anxiety sometimes from it. I end up in tears, hyperventilating, worried you have hurt yourselves.

I don't want any 'Im not like that's or 'thats them's. You know who you are, but it's honestly most of you. That's what's the problem is. You people influence actual depression on each other. I'm serious about this situation, and I don't want anyone here joking about any of it.

Your friend,
Autumn

Very true, it's a big problem when people try and fake that stuff to get popularity

Also, about the suicide pacts: IF someone were to go through with that, even if you were somehow "joking" about it, what do you think that would do? Would you want to be a factor of someone's death? Don't be part of that, and put an end to it if you see people trying to say they're going to.
Also, I'm pretty sure you could potentially be convicted of a crime if someone went through with it and you were found to be part of that pact (if either of you lived in a state where suicide is illegal?). I'm not a law expert or anything, but from my understanding, it's a thing.

Yep.

By joking, I meant making images about everyone going insane and stuff. Every single time it happens, someone does that. I don't know if that's illegal, but you should definitely not do that in these situations. I do believe it is illegal to give advice on suicide, and/or support it though. And I've seen people here do that. I did of course alert them, and tried to call the situation.

Yeah I know what you meant

Yeah.

this is why your my friend, you acrually have common sense (not that thats the only reason, but preach)

Thank you swift. I came to tears writing this, and I'm glad you appreciate my word.

np, man i liked the old days better

So did I.

actually

And about me having slight anxiety. I do not want to incourage having it by saying that. I just severely worry sometimes. I get fuzzy. But it's never actual anxiety attack. You guys often make it seem like you're having severe issues and could pass out. That's what's not okay.

I feel you on this. There are times I get super worried and get all shaky but not actual anxiety

Yep.

Also, I’m glad you posted that speech. It is really important that we remember it

I'm glad you appreciate it.

I'm glad you can see through everything and come out with this, I appreciate it.

I'm glad it means something.

I appreciate this, I understand if it’s truly difficult to determine if someone has suffered, but at the same time you can the difference between depressed and people just trying to look for attention. There was this girl in 8th grade who would make her self “depressed” just to get me to talk to her, you wouldn’t understand how many fake story’s I had to listen to then.

And this isn't just a quick throwaway speech. I want you guys to remember it. I mean what I said, I know what those things are like for people. It's not okay, and it shouldn't be faked for attention. Thank you.
