    whenever a motivational pic is posted that there is usually a negative response in the comments

    Could that possibly be because the patronising fantasy nonsense rings particularly hollow in a place where people are dealing with the consequences of actual horrors of actual life.

      Well trust me I know that everyone’s issues are absolutely real. I have like a zillion myself and just got a disciplinary action at work for having a mental breakdown lol (seems kind of a cruel punishment but ok). But I think people posting here are in here for a reason…not because they have a savior complex to help us shitheads…but because they have issues too. So they post this sort of stuff to try to help both others and themselves. Idk if what I’m trying to say makes sense.

      Wow update my company is threatening termination and it alienated my best friend from me! I want to fucking kill myself now!

      Just when you think it can never get worse, it always does!

      Don’t worry though, I thought about it earlier and went to the top of a parking garage but I didn’t jump off and one of my old coworkers is going to see me tonight.
