>>267143Ah, I really feel similar. Even around people that seem to care vaguely about mental health, anything that's to heavy just invites exactly what you described.
The therapy comments are very distasteful to me. Not everything needs to be medicalized I think. Feels like an easy way to put down any dissenting thoughts as wrong and treats variety in human beings as abnormal. I think it also makes people look at other remedies as non-viable, like it's the only thing that can help.
I wish more grim conversations were more socially permitted. I understand most people don't have solutions and aren't doctors but empathy is nice. I'm a constantly suicidal person and not being able to talk about it easily without someone just wanting to hospitalize you instead of getting to speak about it honestly just makes things worse. I feel like I'm constantly sanitizing my true feelings for the people around me.
