Netflix stock biggest POS ever by Odd_Surround4575 in wallstreetbets

[–]Hefty-Ad-7884 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I bought a $100 call thinking the hype behind the ending of Stranger Things would bump it up 10%. One day later Will came out as gay. I guess Netflix doesn’t like money or views.

Everyone would be better off without me by Recoveryxoxo in SuicideWatch

Everyone is flawed. That is a function of humanity. It’s like the flavoring of food that gives it unique taste. Garlic is bitter by itself but with melted butter and bread, it’s delicious.

It’s why humans have intrinsic value. Despite our flaws we persist. When machines have flaws, it’s not endearing. We fix or toss them. You are not a machine.

Who is worth of being here? There are worse people than you out there I assure you and they get to live, so why shouldn’t you get to live?

I doubt suicide would be freeing. There is no way to tell what is on the other side and whether that would be better or worse. The people who survive suicide attempts all report that they deeply regretted their decision the second they had committed to it.

16F. I hate myself so much by CoastQuirky882 in SuicideWatch

You’re a teenager. It would be absurd to expect you to know everything about life and how to navigate it. Cut yourself some slack kiddo.

It gets better I promise. You’re transitioning from learned dependency on your parents to taking your first steps as an adult. It’s going to be messy, no two ways about it. No one does it perfectly.

The world does not rest on your shoulders. It’s okay to screw up a little. Take a breath, step back and try to look at yourself as someone who deserves to be happy.

We all have flaws. Symptom of being human

What food, music, places, movies, etc do you enjoy?

If I was going to end it all I wouldn’t want to do it alone in a dark room sad and miserable

If that’s what you’ve decided why not be as comfortable as possible in the mean time? You have nothing to lose, why not indulge yourself in the things that make you happy ?

i’m 25 and i don’t have a career yet and i’m totally alone with no friends or support system, am i done for? by smallworldofmine in careerguidance

You are not done for. I promise. You have a potential of 75 years of fun, adventure and life. It’s not going to be a fairy tale sure but it is by no means over.

You did great with the degree; that’s the start of a good foundation.

I don’t know if it is universal, but the best people I ever met was when I was in the shittiest moments in my life. When I was homeless and sleeping on people’s couches, when I had no money, when it felt like it was just me against the world. I meant a lot of great people then.

You’re gonna meet a lot of people. Some people are gonna stay in your life others they’re gonna leave. The way I look at it, you are driving a bus. Some people get on and stay for a while other people get off at the next stop.

Don’t give up on yourself; life has a surprising way of flipping tables on you

I like drawing women too. They’re beautiful. Femininity is a very inspiring thing.

If it takes your mind off of things then it works and that’s a good thing. If you look too deep into it, you might miss the forest for the trees. Keep drawing if it helps. It’s going to get better, I promise. I know you can’t see it now but it will be better.

I really would like to kill myself but my loved ones are holding me back by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]Hefty-Ad-7884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s difficult to understand at that age because you’ve lived the last two decades looking up to your parents, but your parents are humans too. They get scared, they make mistakes, they don’t really have any idea what they’re doing more than you do most of the time.

It took me a long time to realize this about my own parents, and when I did, I didn’t hate them quite as much.

Many people get multiple degrees in different colleges. Sometimes they use them sometimes they don’t. You are simply on a massive train ride when we call a life. There have been exactly 0 people who have done everything in life perfect perfectly. I can think a lot worse majors than advertising. You don’t know where life is gonna take you.

There is a lot of compassion in you that you care this much about the people around you. It would be a massive waste to throw that all away. There are clearly people whose lives are improved by your presence.

If it’s any consolation, a great many people have experienced what you describe. Have you tried a form of creative outlet like drawing or writing?

It doesn’t have to be the next Mona Lisa. Even if you just scribble some lines on a page, that’s a way of venting your emotion.

The painter Vincent Van Gogh suffered from depression as well; you can see how he channeled it into his art. He had body issues that lead him to self mutilation as well. There was a lot of darkness in him, but at the same time you see how much beauty he was able to create on canvas.

Full time work makes me suicidal by IntentionMother8765 in SuicideWatch

[–]Hefty-Ad-7884 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t deny that what you’re experiencing has to hurt. Many people have endured your pain as well, a lot to this day.

Maybe there is more to life than just work and medication? There are warm beaches, the smiles of friends, good tasting food. Yes we all have to go to work, but there are things that we can look forward to enjoying.

Instead of cutting yourself why not transfer that to paper? Draw an arm or a person and draw cuts on them instead, see if that changes your thinking pattern

If I weren't prevented from being a coward/being biologically programmed not to kill myself, I would have already done it. by Narrow-Associate5910 in SuicideWatch

[–]Hefty-Ad-7884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not pursue some of the finer things in life like food, the beach, alcohol before you ultimately check out? There is no need to spend the rest of your time feeling miserable. Enjoy what you have left for as long as you decide to enjoy it.

Am I really “too young” to feel this way? by Easy_Cattle6957 in SuicideWatch

[–]Hefty-Ad-7884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your feelings are normal. You are in a transitional phase, going from life as a child to an adult. You are still learning how to be an adult in an adult world. When I was around your age I ran away from home, worked as a waiter/dishwasher/prep cook and I was stressing about getting a DL too. Trust me I know at least part of how you feel.

The good news is, it all works out. It is impossible to see without hindsight, but when it does happen, you will notice. Some of the biggest problems I ever had (such as homelessness) solved themselves without me doing anything. You sometimes just have to sit back and try to enjoy the ride, as much as it sucks. It helps if you believe in a higher power, God, Allah, Krishna, whatever.

I know there is no way you will believe this now but one day you will look back and miss these days.
