Thread: erm.. coffin for one please.

The only reason i'd ever commit suicide is because it would be lulzy.

Apart from that, I have no idea who you're referring to.

I don't see suicidal members on this forum:/

happiness begins and ends in your own mind. it's not about your life. it's about your... soul? something like that.
when it just isn't there and you can't find it, you begin to ask questions, when you find there are no answers, it tends to fuck with you.

I can't know your specific situation, but the sentence I bolded tells me you don't know as much about depression as you think you do. You sound a lot like me going into the summer before my senior year in high school. I didn't want to die and had no intention of killing myself, but I was convinced that nothing in my situation could change and that if nothing else killed me, I would do myself in by the end of the summer. I didn't want to do it and wasn't planning on it, but it seemed inevitable.

Instead, something else happened. Having quite literally given myself up for dead, I began enjoying things. I was in near total isolation: miles out of town with no car and no phone (and no running water, for that matter), and none of my friends knowing exactly where I lived because I didn't want them to see how I lived, I was on my own most of the time while my mom and her boyfriend were out working or drinking. I would sunbathe naked behind the house, grill out on the firepit, and go prowl the woods. I would also listen to Rush Limbaugh (alas), watch Oprah, and blast NIN as loud as I wanted.

It wasn't my last serious depression, but it was the worst. My situation reversed: instead of not being able to enjoy what should have made me happy, hardship thereafter just rolled off my back (except for some girls making me crazy a bit ).

I understand you're in Hell right now and can't see the way out, but that doesn't mean you'll always be there, and walking out of Hell makes you very resilient.

Mindless Self Indulgence put it quite clearly.

In fact, I think that everybody seriously thinks you're full of shit."

Ya, locking yourself away in the Fortress of Snarkitude is a much better adaptation

But who cares about mindless self indulgence?

They are quite right about it, though.

Right about what? The specific case they are referring to? Sure.

But news check AmazeO, many depressed people who actually do accomplish suicide and die aren't anything like the case you're talking about.

Further more not everyone who commits suicide wants to commit suicide or talks about suicide 24/7. In many cases it comes as a surprise to everyone involved.

People have psychological disorders, and many disorders put you at a higher risk to be suicidal even if you otherwise wouldn't be. Many people who are bipolar slip in and out of depression throughout the day and might quite literally on a whim kill themselves.

It isn't like depressed people go around telling everyone, HEY GUYS I"M GONNA KILL MYSELF! However, people who are depressed that don't ultimately end up killing themselves usually seek out help. Did you know that when people have problems they are supposed to share them with the people they love and are friends with? I know big shock right? People who care about you are supposed to want to help you when you are feeling sad? What kind of topsy turvy world have we been transported into? People are supposed to seek help when they have problems? Jesus Christ. Heaven forbid that when someone has no one to talk to they go to the internet. Although anywhere on the internet where people seem to be influenced directly by the "chan" mentality, which I do believe you have, it probably isn't a good idea for anyone to seek help there. They will just tell you to kill yourself.

Since when do humans experience the world the same way? It's not a matter of miracles that makes the difference. The guy who thinks that obviously doesn't have the mental capacity to consider it. Unless he wasn't trying to say anything smart, just spout hate etc.
