If you’re feeling troubled, as in TRULY troubled. Whether it’s depression, feeling a need to self-harm or you’re wrestling with suicidal thoughts. Don’t simply throw these issues at your followers without end. Yes, there’s a lot of good people out there that want to help out when they see somebody struggling. But, save for a few rare exceptions, your followers aren’t therapists and are not equipped to aid with serious mental issues.



It’s okay to mention that you struggle with things. It is okay to occasionally tell your followers when you’re having a rough time. But your followers can only do so much for you. And if you persist in this past a certain point, if you continue to hoist these problems onto some random internet friends then get upset when they can’t help you, then you may very well be engaging in some manipulative and abusive behavior.



Online friends are great, followers are great, and they can both help to a certain degree. But if you’re struggling with serious issues then for the love of Joe seek out a professional therapist! Barring that, call a hotline. I don’t have the number right on hand, but I KNOW there are hotlines for suicide prevention that are run by people that have some idea what they’re doing.



Please, especially if you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts, call somebody like them. Your friends and followers want to help, and I guarantee will be devasted if something happens to you. So for their sake and yours, seek the help you need if you’re struggling with these sorts of issues!
