It’s a penguin. With a penguin backpack.
It’s perfect.

I find it insulting when people insist to a suicidal person that “they have so much to live for,” and that “they are stronger” than their suicidal impulse. As if the person in question isn’t entirely aware of those things, as if the chemical, neural imbalances or possibly external factors in them that are creating those feelings can easily be “overcome” if only they’re “strong” enough. Does that imply that they reason they’re suicidal in the first place is because they’re not strong? That they’re weak, in fact, for feeling the way that they do? It is not encouraging or helpful to say these things to a suicidal person, in my opinion. It smacks of shaming them; “oh, nothing’s really wrong, you’d be just fine if only you were strong enough. You should get on that.”
Suicidal people who are still suicidal and not dead have already proven their strength, as far as I’m concerned. And even those who commit suicide and “succeed” in the end can’t fairly be discounted as weak - everyone makes mistakes, sometimes deadly ones, and theirs wasn’t even their fault provided it was inspired by a mental illness. I’ve had plenty of people try to bring me back from the brink of a devastating depression by telling me that I’m so much stronger than it, and I can safely say that all I felt in those moments was shame, for not being strong enough to simply not feel that way. I’m not trying to speak for anyone else, but as far as I’m concerned, hearing that hurts more than it helps when you’re that low. So fuck you, I don’t need to hear that I’m stronger than my depression. I knew that already, it doesn’t change how I feel. You can’t sprinkle magic sparkle unicorn words over a chemical imbalance and make it go away. Don’t trivialize, invalidate, what I’m going through like that.

As someone who has been professionally diagnosed with depression can I please just love his face for all the times. This is the most beautiful articulation of something I’ve tried and failed at expressing for a long long time. I don’t talk about my therapy and things of the sort on this blog, or with anyone in general because I find it to be more personally triggering but reading this gave me such a sense of feeling like SOMEONE understands in the world that I had to reblog.

Thank you for this Jesse Eisenberg.
My brain is functioning right now so I’m not cycling through constant variations of “you’re a failure, loser, weak, loner, lazy ass who will never amount to anything” but during those times, the thing people want you to think is “You’re stronger than this” and really, it’s completely true what Eisenberg says.
Because at that moment you don’t believe in you are capable of accomplishing anything. Oh thanks for reminding me of one more thing I can’t do.
I tend to believe most people think suicidal thoughts just in passing but never act upon them because they forget about it in the course of a day. I think it’s fairly human to have suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives (“To be or not to be” is the question after all) and it has nothing to do with personal strength to ignore that impulse.
No….it is more to do with acknowledging you want desperately to die but this is just a passing thought and it will pass.
