I honestly can't bear opening up any sort of social media sites other than HN because it's all absolutely full of people "joking" about how miserable mere existence is and how funny wanting to die is.

There are many people out there with depression and who struggle with this everyday. Some people joke about it as a coping mechanism. But too many people are latching onto it as a joke, and I think they're turning it into their own reality. Seemingly everyone my age "jokes" all the time about wanting to die and it's becoming "normal" humor. That can't be healthy.
