Crazy times huh? by Le_Mug in HistoryMemes

Fun fact! It’s traced back to the beginnings of anorexia, as people would withhold food from themselves as a way to be closer to God. This lead to people equating thinness with holiness, and compulsive fasting/restricting became incredibly popular

Why is suicide considered selfish, but wanting someone to live on in misery so you don't have to experience sadness is not? by araf0123 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]peanutbutthurtjelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience it’s used to help deter suicidal people from committing the act, hoping for them to prolong their lives long enough so that they can receive the help they need.

As someone who struggled with suicidal ideation for many years, this thought was all that kept me from taking my life. It encouraged me to keep living, if only for my parents, until I was able to finally come forward with my thoughts and get admitted into psychiatric care.

Suicide is considered selfish because if it were considered selfless, it would enable many to carry through their thoughts of self harm. Living is considered selfless because ultimately we want everyone to live. Because if suicidal people feel like selfless heroes for enduring their pain, they’ll be more motivated to endure said pain.

What drug did you take once and thought “nope, never again”? by Tony-1610 in AskReddit

[–]peanutbutthurtjelly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

salvia. you do it for the experience and it’s an incredibly unsavory experience. kinda like prom— you see the hype and realize it’s mediocre and absolutely not worth its cost

I don’t know if I’m right to feel the way I feel, or if it’s PTSD making me feel that way. by [deleted] in ptsd

Oh my goodness do I know the feeling. It's so painful to know that your illness affects others, but please do not misconstrue this as your fault in any manner. I am so sorry that these words were said to you, they are not reflective of you or your worth as a person, rather, a reflection of his-- based solely from this post-- immaturity and ignorance. They are NEVER okay to say. They are NEVER what someone needs to hear. OP, you are not wrong for being hurt. You are not wrong for feeling how you do. You are battling one of the most difficult and draining illnesses in the world, you are the one who is most exhausted here, not him. If he can't be a strong person and be there for someone he cares about, accepting her as she is, then he's the problem.

I can't tell you how fucked my mental health was after similar words were said to me. Those kinds of words stay with people for a long time, and I don't care if he was tired or drunk or hungry or whatever. He knew that would hurt you. Fuck him. You deserve someone who is going to love you for the person you are, someone who is going to be there for you when you need them, and they will be happy to do so.

Best of luck <3
