Tw (mention of suicide talk) My close friend that I live with now told me yesterday that if he had my life he would k*ll himself This was really hurtful to me and he said he was joking but I don’t know it just had me thinking and he doesn’t know about my attempts but it just brought back some unwanted stuff I wonder how I get through life too lol I’m working two jobs, somehow I force myself to go to the gym too, I’m a student in University, my mental health is declining always, I have family issues idk Looking back at myself I think I’m doing okay but when he says it like that it makes me think why am I doing all of this, what for yk Just how do u guys deal with hurtful comments like that? They’re kinda triggering too

      I had similar issues with a roommate a few years ago.. What worked for me was being honest and telling them that the things they were saying were triggering for me. This led to some long talks and opening up and he’s actually now my boyfriend of 9 months 🤗 Being candid might offend them at first, but it’s not worth harming your mental health by keeping quiet. (Side note - I was working 2 jobs, going to school, working out, etc. and I got burned out hardcore after doing it for 3 years. Make sure to slow down and take breaks when you need to ❤️)
