    Acute suicide prevention helplines always seem so weird to me. Like, I’ve had sucidal thoughts for over a decade, either I’m more or less immune to acting on them now, or Ill discover one day that I’m not. Either way, a helpline doesn’t seem useful. (TO ME. In my specific case. Very much not in general. Not out here pretending that the way things are for me is the way things are for everyone.)

    I really enjoy the mental image of my coworkers sitting around frustrated saying things like “why is pix always missing these meetings?” And then having a comedy hard cut to my slowly swinging corpse. I’m not in danger, antidepressants are working well, unfortunately suicidal ideation has been conditioned into me as a response to stress. Like sure, it would be nice to not have to deal with everything causing me problems, but I can deal with em and with the antidepressants I don’t get the massive mood crash that makes it dangerous.
