Covid probably saved my life.

I got bullied for about 5-6 years in school which ultimatively led to me just wanting to kill myself. Luckily for me the lockdown came so I got freed from the nightmare called school. My will to live devinetively improved, when not getting bullied the whole time you are sitting in class. However, when being in the lockdown I devinetively didnt process my feelings and thoughts about how I wanted to end myself. This led to me having almost a fill scale emotional breakdown mid class when school started, since we have been reading a play where someone killed himself and therefore learned stuff about the whole topic of suicide/mental health. Suddenly you realise, that all this shit kind of sounds very familiar for you which was quite overwhelming, but you can't let anyone see whats happening because that shit devinetively is going to get you bullied again. I never talked to a therapist about this and at this point it isn't needed, since I just went on and processed that time of my life for myself. I also kind of realised some time ago, that I also never told my family about this, but it isn't really relevant anymore and us just going to cause feelings of guilt in them for not acting.

Therapy might still be a good idea in the future, trauma can show up in quite unexpected forms.

I'm really glad you're doing better!

I can see true magenta. And it ain't pink.

Are you one of those 4-cones people?

I realized I was trans in middle school, i said something suicidal to my friend and he told on me. I never really talked to the therapists because my mom was very homophobic. I got put on antidepressants and suppressed my feelings so hard I can hardly remember my childhood.
5 years later my depression went into "full remission" couple of months before I came out. I then 180°d and got sent to the psych ward for suicide ideation this February.

The only thing that stopped me from killing myself is the realization that my cat would be rubbing against my body for pets in the ~10 hours it would take for my family to find me. I was planning to buy a knife after work but broke down in the bathroom.

I'm glad you stayed.

My ideal partner would have exactly identical personality to me.

During highschool I would regularly imagine a "perfect crush" during bus rides. In my last year I had that "damn I was an edgy asshole during middle and highschool" moment and I wanted to change.

So since my friend group is also jerks like me I just started imitating that imaginary person until "fake it til you make it" kicked in.

Everything from my sense of humour to taste in music changed over time. I even became a slightly bit more feminine when I used to be hardcore Matt Walsh fan until this point.

I also got hobbies I just thought looked attractive like Archery. I got into computers because this.

When I was a kid I told a Special Ed teacher who I trusted that one of the gym teachers was having sex with high school students and grooming girls as young as 14.

Rather than report this to the authorities he told the gym teacher what was said. The next day the gym teacher (who was a big former semi-pro football player or something like that) cornered me and intimidated me into shutting my mouth.

2 years later a former student confronted the gym teacher's wife. In the fallout his behavior came to light and he left our school and went to teach a few towns over. The Special Ed teacher joked about it after the fact.

It was probably 20 years before I fully understood the scope of how disgusting that situation was.

Big props for you trying to get people involved though, most obviously did nothing.

I once walked around for two days with a piece of someone else's bone stuck in my thumb.

[–] goldenquetzal@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You can't just drop that with no details!

[–] OopsOverbombing@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

He got in a fight. Probably a piece of tooth got lodged in his hand for a couple days.

I was witness to a very gorey and fatal lathe accident. It was bad enough that they shut the shop down for a month and paid for some therapy.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Jesus fuck that sounds bad... sorry about that.

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 13 minutes ago

That shop took a lot of shortcuts on safety. I had to pull a dude out of a mill to prevent a 2" drill going into his head because he tripped into it. Never again will I standby as I put my own hands at risk for efficiency over safety.

My knife collection began because I was suicidal.

To keep myself around I got a bunch of knives so I wouldn't pick a favorite and "dissapoint" the others.

...I got better.

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 minutes ago

You know, that is one of the most creative safety solutions I have heard. Glad you came up with it (probably due to still wanting to fight). The fight never stops, hope you are still doing well.

Out of all the reasons/sotires I have heard about why people didnt kill themselves this is by far the most absurd.

[–] Emi@ani.social 2 points 1 hour ago

Suppose I have it similar, don't remember when exactly I got into knives but was depressed since 14 so it correlates.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I can honestly say I don't feel the emotion of guilt. I'm not a psychopath. I have a conscience and have a very strong moral compass.

But I don't feel guilty. Just fear of getting caught... In fact what I feel most is fear. The only person who I feel happy with is my girlfriend and if she ever breaks up with me it'll probably break me as a man.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

But I don't feel guilty. Just fear of getting caught...

That sounds an awful lot like you're cheating on her.

[–] pomfegranate@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 hours ago

My parents made me way too casual of a liar..

Okay it might have been my fault

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 31 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

When I was younger, I believed that if a woman was raped, it was her fault for what she was wearing. My highschool friends called me the most unempathetic person they'd ever met and I was proud of that.

Thankfully I've turned right around on all that and learned empathy. I'm ashamed for my younger self, but I know they were just doing the best they could with the very few tools they were given.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

I am in the same situation. "When I was a child I was the most unhinged asshole I know" is extremly common in this community and I have no clue why.

[–] brachypelmasmithi@lemm.ee 12 points 5 hours ago

almost blew myself up for good after a pistol flare exploded half a meter from my face.
went to the ER with superficial burns on my left hand and hearing damage that still rears its ugly head out to this day.
each time i think about that moment i realise that if i had been in any other position when that flare blew up i probably wouldn't be here today

When I was a kid I had a hypothesis that autistic people simply lacked souls and that that explained their symptoms. (I don't think this anymore)

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I underwent a total dickectomy

"Gotcha fam!" Chops off your dick

[–] AHamSandwich@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

If that was voluntary, great job!

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

It was, totally intentional lol

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I promise you he fucked her one more time.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

In my school there was a kid who consistently made plans to SA other students and regularly bragged about it. The school administration not only knew but actively went out of their way to defend him.
