Here's something I think a lot of people don't understand about people with depression/suicidal or self harm tendencies/intrusive thoughts: We KNOW that those thoughts and responses aren't rational. We know that it isn't rational to think that committing suicide is a logical solution to a problem. We know that it's not how a healthy brain responds to things. So stop telling us that our responses to certain things are stupid. We know, okay? We fucking know. We don't want to think those things or feel that way. But they're called Intrusive Thoughts for a reason. We can't just magically make it go away. Medication can help, therapy can too, but it isn't something we can just turn off. Don't you think that if we could turn it off, we would? Who honestly wants to think and feel those things? So stop telling us that we are stupid or irrational, cause you aren't fucking helping.
