I know this is just a joke, but seriously don't kill yourself by drinking lye/drain cleaner. It a horrible death, basically slowly charing your esophagus and stomach until you die.

As someone who has had Korbel, I think you got the labels backwards.

I think you're supposed to inject the Drano or something? Like to kill fake diseases that totally never happened... Or was that bleach?

On one hand, lmao good meme

On the other, I genuinely wish depressed/suicidal people would dedicate their life to a random cause instead of offing themselves

Many depressed/suicidal folks often do give themselves to a cause or calling. Depression isn't just the episodic spiral you see portrayed as depression, it's also the hard fought days where only you can see your struggle. Along with therapy, exercise, and medication, "faking it til you make it" is the treatment plan, allowing yourself the freedom to try to function and feel better. And from experience, living for others is one of the easiest ways to push yourself to make an effort.

Unless you mean "dedicate their life to a random cause" as in "at least take someone awful with you". That's generally frowned upon advice, but I definitely understand the sentiment more than I wish.

Man, half the reason is that the struggle is unbearable and never ends. "Go involve yourself more in the struggle" isn't really an answer to that.

It really doesn't work that way. You can work in charity and still deal with mental illness and suicidal ideation.
