Depressed 17-Year-Old Russian Asks r/RoastMe To Roast Him So He’d Have A Reason To End It All, Internet Responds



It's not easy to be faced with depression and the problem is that it's not just feeling sad temporarily, but a prolonged condition where the mind always feels gloomy and down, sometimes for absolutely no reason. You want to crawl out but you don't even know how or if there is a way out from there. It becomes a vicious cycle as your view towards everything becomes pessimistic and believe that no one is out there to listen or understand.

That is probably what's going on in this 17-year-old Russian teenage boy. He posted a picture of himself and asked to be roasted so he could end it all. The message is a big warning that this boy is probably at his wit's end and a few more pushed will plunge him into a deep hole he can never go out from forever. But look at the responses he gets. These are also probably the responses you have been waiting for: that even hundreds of strangers are out there telling you that you matter and needed. All you need is reach out and pour out because humans can't read minds, but at least, they can be very good listeners.
