Suicide

[Lambsbread]

My experiences with suicide are likely different than those who have "plenty going for them," but in a nutshell, it may revert back to mental illness. One is more likely to commit suicide, regardless of financial standing, fame, etc., if they are depressed.

Suicide comes when the emotional or physical tole outweighs the coping mechanisms our minds naturally employ. It's not always due to chemical imbalance, but rather also the situations one finds themselves frequently boxed into which triggers a fight or flight response.

^^^ this.

Also, sorry to hear that Glad you're better though

Also, suicide is not from cowardice and it's often hard for me to take when I hear people say that. The human psyche is deeper than that. It's an excuse used by people who do not wish to justify the emotions or feelings of the afflicted person.

Yes, this. Hearing people say that drives me nuts, as well as when people say depression is not a real disease. It's almost like telling a gay person that they chose to be that way. BS.
