The only thing Prozac does is make your dick limp.

When you take your life you're ruining every one else's.

Then it was a terribly written article you read with no one who understands Clinical depression.

Clinical depression doesn't allow you to see how your death would impact others. You are so incapable of that and rationalizing your own death due to your own pain.

I still don't understand how people seem to think that someone thinking of suicide would be as rationale about their death as those who aren't suffering from depression? That's like me expecting you to understand what fighting cancer is when you've never had cancer.

There aren't varying level of depression? Jesus, you need educated.

That's like me thinking you're full on Down's syndrome when in fact you're only mildly reeruned.

i don't know about reeruned, but he certainly appears to lack capacity for empathy.

Awful news...love LP and been a fan since they started. Really sad for his family and friends. Wonder if the band splits now. Drugs and Alcohol combined with depression is the worst. Dude was always fun at concerts smiling and happy. Gonna be missed....great voice.

Ever case of depression is different. Some are far worse than others.

And? eDaves specific comment I disputed was "if it wants you it'll get you". As if we humans have zero control over our decisions, esp the most drastic of them.

Just like being on the spectrum.

Some of these people HAVE tried options, made decisions/changes and still feel empty.

They are then left with, in their opinion, only one option (suicide).

This is simply an elementary type of comprehension task. I'd love to know your educational background? It's clearly lacking in this thread.

The piece was well written, actually. And yes, i understand what you're saying completely.

I should notate the article put shit into perspective for ME.

The pain that my son and wife would endure if i killed myself simply isn't worth ANY amount of pain that i may be going through. For me at least, that's the bottom line. I'd rather suffer a thousand times over than to put my child through that sort of pain.

You're over-valuing the long term consequences of suicide. Short term, yes I agree.


Want the honest truth about suicide and your loved ones?

People always ask, "how could they do that to their families?"

Do their families and loved ones grieve? Of course.
Do they struggle for a while to pick up the pieces? Of course.
Do they for the most part continue on with their lives in face of your death? Absolutely.

We've all lost loved ones to accidents, car crashes, cancer and even suicide. And what do people associated with these people, even their young children, do with their lives? They continue on. That's the reality. We've all done it to some degree. And the children I knew growing up who lost parents to suicide went on to be great parents themselves.

Continue on with gaping holes in their heart that will never heal.

It causes carnage in the survivors' lives and minds forever unlike anything else.

There you have it: the "Lewdog speaks from personal experience" argument. A true debate ender. Settles it for me, really - Lewdog knew some people somewhere sometime that (in his mind) overcame tragedy.


I'm good now.
