High functioning depression is so scary because no one knows that you're not ok. And even if you say something, people don't care because you don't present as someone who's falling off the deep end.
Suicidal ideation, for many, isn’t about death.
It’s about relief.
From shame.
From feeling overwhelmed constantly. From feeling like a fucking burden.
The goal isn’t always “not wanting to be alive”
It’s just not wanting to live like this.
I’ve never craved peace like i do now. i don’t want to wake up angry or upset or have any negative thoughts. i just want to be happy & at peace with everything.
