yeah, its so gnarly. Half of my family is pretty newly American (I'm a third generation, second generation English speaker) and were really fucked with in San Francisco so depression and alcoholism became a family trait. We've had a few members of the family succeed at suicide and a few more attempting. It's horrible, it really tears families apart.
I hate it when people refuse to understand depression. its a chemical imbalance in the brain often brought on after a particularly horrible experience. people hardly understand that and its really shitty when people accuse those with depression of "making it all up." a CHEMICAL IMBALANCE is nothing to fuck with, depression is a horrible thing for anyone to go through. I have first hand experience with it and its fucking HORRIBLE. 
I hope that whatever you're going through works out for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me about it.

Yeah. One of my best friends killed himself when we were 13. He had absolutely how many lives it affected. If he would have known that, I would hope that he would have never even thought about it. Everyone just thinks that it only affects them or a few family members or something, but in reality it impacts the entire community. The worst thing someone could ever decide to do.

what the fuck dude. if youre telling him to use the search bar, shut the fuck up. Theres enough stupid comments without people checking constantly to see if theres been a thread like this when its clearly personal. If you were saying your story was posted and use the search bar to find it, my bad.

it's not stupid, or selfish. clearly you don't know a thing about depression. it's a chemical imbalance in your brain, you can't help it. it really screws you over and makes you feel things you NEVER in a million years think you'd ever feel. it makes you do things you would never usually want to do (ie kill yourself). and it makes you lose interest in doing things you usually enjoyed (ie skiing). it changes you, and alot of people who were depressed at some point or another, look back and can't even beleive they ever felt or said the things they did. people don't choose to be depressed, unless you're really emo and need attention (which is a completely different story) but being depressed isn't something people want. no one ever WANTS to actually feel that low to the point the depression completely takes over and makes you want to take your life.

he is saying suicide is selfish and a bad decision. not depression. depression /= suicide. i know many people who have been very depressed, but they pressed through it, and are doing very well.

yeah i'm guess i'm just saying suicide is the end result of depression. so when he says "i think suicide is stupid and selfish" it sort of sounds like he's not putting the depression peice into perspective. and that when you say it's a "bad decision" i feel it's not really a decision because once you get to a certain point in depression, you're not really making any decisions anymore.. your "chemical imbalance" is what's making your decisions.

but i'm glad the people you know pressed through depression, and never got to this point of depressoin i keep talking about. it's not an easy thing to get through at all.

ummm when i was in 8th grade i tried killing me self
but let me speak.
Ok i took my moms car for a joy ride with friends and when i was backing out i completly totaled the side but didnt even notice it because i was in such a hurry to get out of the driveway so i floor it down thhe road and then pull over for some reason then see the side of the car and the whole side is indented more than 6 inches from front door to the fucking bumper along with alchohal and xtc that my friends had brought and i was under the influence of alchohal so i tried to eat the xtc and drink a shit load because i was in such a state of shock of what my parents would do to me but i didnt follow thro with it completly i didnt take enough to kill myself cus i kinda came back to reality after i started drinking it was mad shit but then i got arrested and put on probation
LOL
8th grade was fucking lame

i hate "attempted suicide" thats such bullshit. Thats just for pussys who want attention, if you are really suicidal your gonna get that shit done. The only real attempted suicides are like those dudes that shoot themselves in the head and survive miraculously. but theres girls at my school who get attention by like "attempting suicide and shit" which basically means making little tiny cuts in their wrists then showing them to there freinds and being like "i tried to kill myself"

well he's a pussy. everyone knows that if your going to hang yourself you climb a tree to a nice branch with a none under it then you set up your noose on that branch then when you drop like 10 feet with the noose around your neck that shit gets snapped and you die. if he really wanted to kill himself motherfucker would've made sure he hung himself proper.

suicide is more than depression and something that is simply said just a chemical imbalance. Look at things before this, suicide is a direct result of our society. People being forced into situations they cant deal with.

you should take this thread a little more seriously, I don't know anyone who has commited or attempted suicide, but just reading this thread makes me realize it's not far away... Now I will proceed to call you a fucking asshole.

Sorry to all those who lost a dear one
