I know you would never do something like this, but…don’t kill yourself over it, okay buddy? They don’t understand. |

Requesting move to GRP
Seriously Patch is trolling everyone here and mods aren’t punishing that because they’re afraid of him having “suicidal” thoughts all over again |

Maybe you bumume he’s trolling because you’ve never been in the place he is. Consider yourself lucky. |

I think it takes a few weeks to work. I used to be on it but my doctor moved and I didn’t want to go see anyone else. Quitting it cold turkey is not real fun either though. |

I’m supposed to take two pills each day after the first week. When it’s working real well, does it actually “up” your mood? |

It does take a few weeks for full effect, and I agree that quitting antidepressants blows. |

I’ve worked with quite a few people with suicidal thoughts. They haven’t gone to internet forums to show camwhore-ish pics of themselves with the hospital’s bracelet or the internal bulletin. |

“The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it.” – Joss Whedon
The planet is on a downward spiral. Apathy and general unkindness spread daily. As a species we have embraced our baser selves – celebrating the bully and living in bubbles where what happens to others is “not my problem.”
If you feel empty and like a burden, if you don’t want your life, give it to others and be a rebellious force spreading a little wacky goodness. It is easy to start small – smile at everyone you pbum. You’d be surprised at how often you will be the only smile the person gets.
EDIT: Also, I don’t give a crap if Patch is trolling, I think people feel like this a lot more than they express. I highly doubt he going to end up homeless and lost, he seems like a smart and funny guy. Everyone goes through down patches in life though. scully edited this message on 01/09/2009 9:09PM |

...best damn advice I’ve heard all day. Thanks, I suppose I can give it a try. And I’m not surprised that you’d be good at giving advice, considering that you’ve stated that you’re old enough “to be my mom.” By that, I mean that mom-like figures are good at giving advice.

It seems counter intuitive to post about depression on an internet site where the general goal is to make people feel bad, but I definitely believe him. I’m a neutral emotion person most of the time and I’ve never had any real depression like described here. It makes me wonder what it’s like. Sounds awful. Which is why I’m sympathetic here.
I just can’t fathom the kind of real turmoil and agony a person would have to be experiencing to want to end their life.
Oh, and I fixed the typo in the thread title. It was annoying me. TUBSWEETIE edited this message on 01/10/2009 3:28AM |

Thanks for that, it had been driving me crazy but I figured there was no point in mentioning it. |

Thank you. Log in to see images! Can you get all the rest throughout the board too, please? :winningsmile:
For the consideration of those who, for whatever reason, have a lower personal opinion of someone who commits/attempts/considers suicide: genes may predispose someone to the many varieties of depression. Perhaps all of you are lucky enough to have no family history of these kind of mental issues, but you would be doing the world a kindness if you remember there’s less choice in the matter than you think. trespasserswill edited this message on 01/10/2009 3:38AM |

Don’t forget the other great irony (which doesn’t apply to OP, but is still relevant): many teens who were put on anti-depressants for other reasons developed chemical depression from it, and some who took it for depression found it made them worse, not better. Depression and suicidal thoughts are in the head, but it’s not only mental. |

human interaction? ppfff, dealing with people after a failed suicide attempt is the last thing you wanna do.
not trolling here: better luck next time, at least you got the balls to make a serious attempt. |

Good point. Another thing along those lines is seasonal affective disorder (winter blues). Really, blame the weather. |
