Okay, I don't disagree with you, but then what do you recommend they do? I'm talking about that person I once was that tried to convince myself that I could make it one more day until I got to what I thought was going to be my last day. Obviously talking to someone...won't pay the bills. I'm honestly a little confused…

I think you're awesome. You're welcome, friend.

You're welcome, friend.

That's it, isn't it? There's still this kind of thought that you can fix it if you try! I don't understand how so many think this is just a phase, or "feeling blue." I'm looking at almost 17 years of dealing with it off and on. I would snap my fingers and fix it if I could. I hear you. I'm with you down in the foxhole…

I think I just hit my limit with all the speculating, advice-giving, finger-pointing bullshit. I hear you. If I could fix it with sunshine and a brisk walk, don't you think I'd be running marathons??

I'm not talking about allies, I'm talking about people who say things like "get outside, go for a walk!" and think it'll somehow fix you. Or the people that think now is the time to talk about how "cowardly" suicide is. I've had people that have never dealt with depression a single day go to the mattresses for me, and…

Bingo, I literally said those exact words last night to my best friend. (Okay, so I didn't say Sisyphean task, but you know what I mean.) Here's someone that has openly sought help for issues in the past, who had every resource at his fingertips and the blackness won. It's scary.

Right? FUCK that. You cannot will yourself out of the depths. All the sunshine will not cure it.

You're welcome. I'm sorry for whatever you're going through. You've got a friend in little ol' angry-foul-mouthed me. :)

I just don't understand why they think that's beneficial at ALL. At the very least, it's disrespectful of someone you didn't even know, and at most harmful to people who need help or in the midst of a very real fight for their life.

You know what I think? I think anyone who's never stood and stared suicide in the face should shut the fuck up. I think anyone who hasn't cried themselves to sleep and wake in the morning only to find fresh tears are already falling should sit the fuck down. I think anyone who doesn't understand what it's like to be…

Nah. If I want good porn, I know where to find it. But thanks!

Okey doke, thanks! Wouldn't pull up on my phone, so I didn't know if it was an actual link or just an uncreative troll. :)

Redacted.

Worth it. Glad you all spoke up & they finally did something, anything.

Yeah, I know! That's great. As I said in the thread, I could only seem to find articles sharing about the challenge, but weren't mentioning any donation spikes. My fear was it would become like those Facebook challenges to share the color of your bra in order to bring "awareness" to breast cancer, but I'm glad to see…

So much of this fucking sickens me, but what might be the worst for me is his tweet to her that says "you're in my thoughts" after the assault. You pounded her face into raw hamburger, you sick fuck. Own up to your crimes like a real "alpha male" would do. Coward.

Don't disagree in the slightest. I too have been on the receiving end of looking for help and not finding it. The process can be a very long road.

I have to say that both pharmacology and psychological talk therapy personally saved me from killing myself, hands down. I feel it's necessary to say that, because someone may be thinking about getting some help and be discouraged from your post. (Nothing personal, but when I was really fucking depressed, I took…

You have the right. It's a different mourning than his family or friends, sure, but you listed 4 reasons that he'll always be a part of our lives. And Mrs. Doubtfire! 5! Good Will Hunting, 6! :) To lose someone that gave the gift of laughter in such a devastating way...I mourn right along with you.
