[@galaxy_kitten95]

schattendiebin I’ve noticed that the people who say this crap fall into one of these two categories: they have NEVER experienced/at least know someone personally who struggles with mental health or they don’t educate themselves on the matter and view this from the victim’s perspective. For myself, I don’t deal with depression. However, I have GAD and have had suicidal thoughts TWO times in my entire life. Anxiety falls into a similar category with depression. One doesn’t have the will power to keep this under control and it’s not like we want it to happen. My anxiety comes and goes, sometimes at pure random when I least expect it. People, especially in Korea, really need to stop treating mental health like a taboo and start educating themselves. It’s not a joke. It’s much more complicated than they think.

[@SmtSmtDarkside]

This was exactly what I thought. Even the ones who claim to have mild depression seem to not understand how Depression afflicts you. I feel like they describe normal bouts of sadness. Not depression. That is a whole other level which they seem to not understand. Buuuut it might be due to the camera that they downplay it as not to be stigmatized. Or something getting lost in translation.

[@kanatraful]

As someone who is clinically diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, I often hear people call suicide a choice. Let me be clear: when you are suicidal, it does not feel like a choice. I once heard someone compare the feeling to standing in a window of a burning building, and someone on the ground who cannot feel the fire says, “Don’t jump! You have so much to live for!” When someone who is depressed chooses suicide, it is not really a “choice.” It is effectively a surrender. You are finally surrendering the fight. You have to have been in immense, lasting pain for a prolonged period of time, to the point that your own brain literally cannot think of a single good reason why you should be alive. The human will to live is INCREDIBLY powerful. When you are on the edge, your survival instinct will keep pushing you forward for months, years, sometimes even decades, it is so hard to finally give up. When I was at the bottom, thinking about suicide often felt like a comfort. “No matter how bad things get, I can always kill myself.” Even then, I clawed my way back. People need to understand: suicide isn’t a choice. It’s the terrible loss of an incredibly difficult war against your own brain.

[@Kimun888]

Wow.. i think the same like you, i can always suicide. Does that mean im majorly depressed?

[@nanah846]

Wow the way you explained this is very beautiful

[@kanatraful]

Sen I can’t say for sure, I’m not a mental health professional, but it certainly isn’t a healthy way of thinking. Clinical depression stems from a chemical imbalance in the brain; if you do have it, there is help. It isn’t quick or easy to do, but if you’re willing to fight, you can win. Depression might feel like forever sometimes (your brain often tries to trick you into giving up by telling you that it is), but it doesn’t have to be. If you can’t seek out help where you are now, there are free 24/7 international services that can bridge the gap, especially in the lowest points, and there are online support networks, too. Google is your friend.

[@nanah846]

Sen you have to get diagnosed to actually find out

[@ands6243]

You really explained it beautifully. i think i am same like you.when i think things are getting harder i am like...i can always die. i think suicide is more like an escape. People who have good mental health might think SUICIDE is a bad option but for people like me who are suffering from depression only know that its the only option..

I feel for those suffering with mental illness, as I too have depression and anxiety. I look at my entire life, and realize how lucky I am (blessed 💗) to have this life. If everyone could see their worth is so much more than what others say. Helping those in worse situations, even just volunteering to read to children in the library, or donating food to food banks, can give a person a better view of a greater purpose that being famous or perfect. I wish sulli could’ve seen herself as more than just a celebrity.

That your death would bring more happiness for people and that you’re not worthy to be alive. I’m not clinically diagnosed to have depression but I’m pretty sure I have, and I’ve noticed that my whole family probably has depression. And this is what is constantly in my mind everyday, my brain telling me that I’m not worthy to be alive. Please don’t see Sulli as weak, she’s a very strong girl that tried her best to be who she is while facing so many hates. I offer my sincere condolences to her family and friends

I used to be Depressed, and well I still am. Although after studying Astronomy I've come to respect all life even the ugly aspects of life. When you come down to it, life is a Cosmic miracle that has taken about 13billion years for you to be here at this moment, cherish it. Imagine the position of where we are in our Solar System too close we'd be too hot, to far we'd be to cold to have life. Our Sun gives life on Earth but at the same time kills life because of radiation, but our magnetosphere from our Iron core protects us from Ultra Violet rays that would otherwise kill all life on Earth. When you think about every single process going on at every moment in the day, it's a miracle of Cosmic proportions that we're alive to experience a fraction of time in the ever expanding Universe. I think sometimes we get caught up in our own Selfish World's in our mind that we forget the Natural beauty of the process of Life. I even think about the future of when we're all gone, since our Sun will die eventually in 5 billion years from now, our Solar System will die as our Sun will become a white dwarf and even though our physical bodies will be gone by then, the elements that we are composed of will remain and return back to the Stars from which we were made. So our lives will transcend into a new form of life in the Universe, so in a way no one really ever dies, our bodies die but the essence of what we are can't be destroyed because we're energy.

A lot of younger Koreans are more open-minded and didn't bully her. The antis are a small percentage of despicable individuals/groups who persisted in their aggression and hatred towards her for a long time.

PEOPLE kill people. And btw, people help each other too. I still applause Sulli for being true to herself. I just wish she and her family had gotten her more professional help, and had taken medicines. She said in an interview that she never took medication for depression, and I think that was not the right choice at all. (Fortunately Taeyeon said that she has been actively seeing doctors and taking medication for her own depression.

My daughters boyfriend who is now 21 used to be a troll. He was 13 and smart and thought it was great fun to rile people up. He didn't really have any interest or strong feelings one way or the other but just liked to cause trouble. Its all from total anonymity behind a keyboard that they can feel superior.

That contrast in that comment made me shocked. I thought it was common sense to help those who can’t do it for themselves. Korea needs to include mental health issues in their education to spread more awareness to those who are still in school to become a more aware generation. And to those who are already adults, some serious work needs to happen to change this mentality. If not, just be kind to one another. If you don’t like or agree with something, do what I do and just shut up and learn to listen because just maybe you could be in the wrong. Learn to be humble.

I just want to say something. A lot of people can't relate with people with mental health issues, but I just want you to consider what I have to say. I think what most people don't understand is that, most of the time, when people compliment us, it doesn't feel real or it doesn't make a difference in our confidence. But when someone makes a simple insult, intended to break us down or even if it comes of as an insult, it can destroy the little confidence we have. I always felt guilty having to tell people that I go to therapy. Common thoughts go through our heads. "Why can't I be normal?", "Normal people are happy", "I can't do this anymore", etc. What people fail to realize is, as strong as someone can seem, we can only take so much. Everyone can only take so much. It can go on for years, and years, and YEARS until every little reason we thought was good enough to consider living can seem like nothing. I remember just curling up on the floor, sobbing because I didn't have any reasons left. Take a moment to think about how Sulli felt. People need to take a moment to realize how close hating someone is to murder. You can hate someone, but PLEASE do NOT show it. The words that leave some peoples mouthes can cut deeper than a knife. As for the bystanders of people suffering from mental health issues, please don't call it a "victim mentality". Trust me, if I could've given my depression and anxiety away, I would in a heartbeat. The best thing you can do, is give them space when they need it and attention when you can. Show them that you care and give them love. What part about that can some people just not understand? As much as I love Korean culture, Korea itself is practically a slaughter house the size of a country. The pressure is INSANE. So please, if you see someone suffering or are suffering yourself, there are people there for you. I miss Sulli so much and I believe that every life matters. So haters, please consider the fact that this, to me at least, is a crime.

I will tell you a secret. NO ONE IS NORMAL. Simply put, most are better at hiding it. Remember these words: People are mirrors. When someone mistreats you and acts badly when you dont give them a reason to, it is a reflection of their own pain. Every single human being on the planet is going though some level of PAIN. Reaction against action. Is your choice. To think that something is wrong with you and need be fixed OR something is wrong with them and needs to be fixed. You have the power. There are two kinds of forgiveness. The first one is when you forgive and you give a second chance. The other one is when you forgive but you choose to go on without them.

[@k3d1c]

Me too. I went to a dark place. Even went as far as planning and imagining how people would find my body, what i should wear and what food i ate if they autopsied and opened my guts..and then i realized, it would destroy my mom if i did it. I just couldn't do it because I felt responsible for my mom. My dad..he probably get over it. My bro..he's young ..he can also move on. But my mom.. She lives for her family. I just had a feeling, she would just collapse and never be the same. Or maybe even do it herself. That made me sad, and I didn't want to do that to her. After I reached the bottom as far as I went, when i realized i was planning on ending myself, to end the pain, the confusion of my purpose, the endless routine of human life, i realized after planning on ending it, it was like i was about to die, so after that, there was nothing left to loose. After deciding that suicide wasnt an option, I promised myself to never have that as an option. For my mom initially, then i made promise to myself. To be that sad, it made me sadder to think that would be a solution. Since it was like i was about to die, since i was at my lowest low, its that cliche saying but its very true, there's no where else to go but up. So theres nothing left to loose, i thought, so lets do the thing I've always wanted to do, my dream, even if it seems impossible. I had nothing to loose. I had been battling with depression on off since teenager, maybe 12-13yo. Through high school on off..but it really took a deep end in my 20s. I think its important to have someone who loves you in your life to help you. All you need is just 1 person. To lead you into another direction. It could be a friend, a parent, a lover, a phone call from a stranger, or even yourself. Cliche again, be your own friend. I know, I've been there, when you think you're alone, you're convinced no one wants you or needs you, that everyone would be better off without you. NOT TRUE. Just know that we have our physical body, but we also have a soul. Your soul has always been with you, waiting for you to recognize it again. We all have a purpose and we just need to remember it and find it. I wish everyone just take a moment, and put it off for another day. Put it off..another day..another day..another day.. Until you find exactly what you're looking for. Its a permanent ending for a temporary situation. Dont do it. Youre never ever alone. Just speak out and you will find that there are many people who love you. But they probably dont know how to show it. But they do. I love you.

This is what I think. I don’t think the hate made up for most of it but could have just fueled something. Sometimes depression is something you just naturally get. I feel as if Jonghyun was like that and other things made it worse. We don’t really know anyway but your description is the most logical in my opinion. Until they reveal her diary to the public we will never know. I think they just both felt so isolated and alone and no one was here for them when they needed it at their last moments. Just notice how Sulli didn’t even write a note because I feel as if she thought everyone didn’t like her, and how she was always going on about friends leaving her and even fans. The hate isolated her more and fuelled something. She never wrote a will possibly because she felt there was no need. But we never know.

I agree- honestly I'm not really for it that some people are sugarcoating her death, or it may just be a form of positive reinforcement/coping mechanism over the grief felt with the loss. I'm personally sad and frustrated that she resorted to the choice i hated the most when things get really rough at life. I'm not one to brag if i ever went to severe depression but i did feel that i experienced concealed depression where i'd drown myself in work just to fill the void and loneliness, but things started to stir differently when i started to open myself up to people particularly the people at my church. going back to Sulli, i remember the disturbing ig-live that she had, I dm-ed her even though i knew she'd never open it but it's worth a shot. I opened my inbox again when the news came of her death, and realizing that months passed it wasn't even left on read, i suppose because she's a celebrity she wouldn't have the time to open numerous dms she might be receiving a day, so i thought, "i was right, it didn't even reach her"". My only "what if" is, what if someone was there living with her at home, not necessarily a lover but with a friend or family whom she can vent all the sadness and frustrations she'd been filling herself with, maybe then, just maybe we still have her now. No man is an island and it was saddening that she was pushed towards further isolation and led her to death

As long as the agencies still making a 'god' and 'goddess' figure from their idols, then the idea of 'humanizing' those idols is still too far

Mental health is still stigmatized tbh nobody can deny it. When clients come to me, most are really embarrassed to even have a consultation appointment.

When I was depressed I was thinking about my life all the time trying to understand why I felt that way. I listed all the things I should have been thankful for and all the things which made me think my life was bad. Even when I was aware of how lucky I was I just couldn't be happy. I couldn't feel anything just pity myself. I felt guilty for being depressed. It just really sucked. I don't even know how I got myself out of it but I'm glad I managed to escape that horrible time of my life. I was only 15 and I didn't think it was serious in my case because I was still so young there was nothing I could be complaining about. I'm telling you, it doesn't matter who you are, what happened to you, you can feel down anytime and it's okay. It happens. But it doesn't last forever and you should keep that in mind. I know it's been miserable but it will all end if you hang in there a little more. Good times will come again. You'll smile and laugh again. Just don't give up.
