Around that point in my life time, I had heavily suicidal thoughts, and almost went through with it once. That one time I soon after was put in a Mental Ward for a week, and that week still disturbs me..... .....Back when I was a kid - and honestly sometimes even now - I used to go for simplicity with my usernames.

And by that I mean that my usernames were generally stuff like "Someone1234", "Somebody123456" or "Nobody 123456789". And no, it had nothing to do with my current username (I hope). I didn't even realize the similarities until last november.

So at the very least, if you think your old name was cringey, remember that some people had/have cringier names.

....The fuck is wrong with your parents.

You can't just send a kid to a mental ward, even if they're suicidal. It's practically the same as saying they're crazy, and that's not something a suicidal person would like to hear.

Sure, they are not as brutal as they used to be, and sure, the help received, well, helps. But the insinuation that you're crazy-enough to need to be sent to one still hurts, and depending on the cause behind one's suicidal thoughts, that can well be the last thing you want to hear, especially from your own family, even if they mean well.

Did they at least try some more tame form of therapy first? Something that says "you need help", but not "you need help cause you're crazy"?
