@slightfreedom I just feel like a puzzle piece that doesn't belong in this box, I hope you find a reason to live, but lately I feel like living is becoming more and more pointless.

@vaksinebones it's not what they teach you in school, it goes a little deeper than that. it's not selfish? screw all the people crying at my funeral... it would be nice to think about the feelings of all the people you'll leave behind. your parents, children, wife, husband or anyone that's somehow related to you.

@MrMbk89 I have studied psychology. None of what you said sounded like anything I learned in psych... I didn't say depression was random. It's not. And depression isn't caused by being pessimistic. Obviously there are factors, but just being optimistic isn't going to prevent or cure depression. Anyway, my point was that suicide isn't selfish or idiotic. It isn't selfish to want to alleviate pain. And you can't just flip a switch and be happy for everybody when you're experiencing pain like that.

@vaksinebones you're only depressive if you make yourself depressive. people don't know how to use their brain properly, that's the problem with pessimistic people. that's not ment to be offensive, that's a truthful fact. only you can make yourself pessimistic or optimistic, not your brain. your brain is controlled by you only, it's not on random. study some psychology

@MrMbk89 I don't think you're at liberty to talk if you've never even thought about suicide. Yes, stable people can work through difficulties, but to a depressed person, often suicide seems like the only way to get rid of pain--it has to do with chemicals in your brain, not being "idiotic" or a "selfish pussy." That's a really fucking ignorant assessment and I doubt if you ever wanted to kill yourself you would appreciate some asshole telling you you're an idiot for trying to find some relief.
