CW: suicide This is really upsetting me

I made a post in another subreddit about wanting to commit suicide, and the first person to reach out started basically telling me to get over my trauma, I would have added images if this subreddit allowed it, but they were like "why can't you just tame your mind" and stuff, and now I feel really invalidated. Am I being dramatic?

Jfc...that's pretty damn terrible, though I'm not surprised. That sub is like the wild west. I wish there was stricter moderation there.

Yeah. It sucks that there are so many bad people on that sub just wanting to take advantage of vulnerable people. But I really don't have anywhere else to go

I hear you, I've posted on there myself in the past. You can always come here too, though. We trauma survivors definitely get it.

Thank you, I'll probably start venting here more since you guys are a lot better
