I agree that it isn't cute and whatnot and that telling everyone you come across about your suicidal thoughts isn't it BUT actually expressing it when it's not possible to actually go for treatment is a good way to "let it out of your system". What i'd suggest is going for a close friend who you trust will listen & be there instead of posting publi...... reply
I agree but also semi disagree cuz there was a girl i knew who did that and mainly for attention even tho she hadn't been diagnosed and would always tell others and stuff (not saying u have to be diagnosed to have depression).
