RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Original wording (Cantonese): "你一食葯就会食到老嘅啦“ (Once you start, you will need to continue till you get old (aka: till your death))

Oh okay mom... "唔食藥而家死咗就唔使到老囉" (If I don't get medicated, I die now and no need to get old) (didn't actually say it, but really want to)

This culture is gonna kill me 😭

It sounds like you’re experiencing suicidal ideation. I would suggest that you check yourself into a mental hospital, voluntarily, then request to be given anti-depressants. They’re somewhat notorious for initially relieving your depression just enough that you’re still feeling hopelessly depressed, but now have the willpower to try to kill yourself. I think you’d be better off away from your family, under professional care, while seeing how you react to medication.
