nice thread crap. <^>:|

Yeah, nice one purbeast.

Depression that severe is clinical. It's in your head. It's not rational, and even though they always focus it on something, it's frequently not really attached to that thing. I was frequently depressed and considered suicide for a time when I was a teenager, but truthfully I had no good reason. Plus, given the number of friends I had and the way I acted around them, I guarantee none of them had even the slightest idea that I was ever suicidal. I grew out of it and am really a ridiculously happy person now, but I don't doubt that if I actually did have something majorly wrong happen to me, I might have done it.

MetalMat, for you, best wishes, and I hope you're not blaming yourself at all. As I said above, people don't usually tell others when they're that depressed. It's all in the head.

I'm sorry for the OP. That's a bummer. The other guy who found his roommate that sucks too. I'm glad I haven't had to experience that. I hope you get over it as quickly and painlessly as possible.

However I'm going to have to side with the guy who finds people that commit suicide weak. You guys can bitch and moan all you want but killing yourself is just a ****** and selfish thing to do. Think about all the pain your cause those you leave behind. Think about all the questions left unanswered. Think about all the potential wasted. It's just not right, and people that kill themselves don't get very much pity in my book. There is medicine. There are support groups. There are friends, family, and even complete strangers. Unless you have some horrible terminal disease that's left you brain-dead I just don't see an excuse for it. That's not so much suicide as euthanasia anyways.

That poll on here about all those who have thought about suicide shocks me. Is life that bad? Depression is a terrible thing but is it so bad that you're willing to hurt your friends and family for it?

There are always choices to be made. Suicide should be the last one on your list. Changes need to be made. Dropping out of college, moving, getting new friends, getting a new job, changing majors, seeing a doctor, seeing a support group, talking to your family?.all of these should come first, and then some.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I wish you and his family and other friends well and peace.

Thank you.

Its really weird though, he was getting better and acting way way better than he was when I used to live with him. He was depressed all throughout , but it looked like he was getting over it rather well this year. When I came back to town earlier this month, he seemed to be getting everything straightened out. Everyone noticed recently that he was joking around and being more talkative. Apparently he left my friends house at 4:00 am after everyone left to go home, and he went home and killed himself.

And for anybody who thinks suicide it a retarted solution, I totally agree. However, usually the person commiting suicide does not think this. Also, dont forget about the family and friends. Its hurts so many people
