There's a lot of potential causes for this that are beyond the scope of this thread but we have to start treating mental health as the 1st world problem that it is. It's not the result of "being spoiled" as a society. It goes much, much deeper. |

Now I just let them know that I am there for them, to listen, or just sit in silence, but together. When someone expresses to me that they are battling anxiety, or depression, etc. I let them know that I am sorry they are experiencing those issues, and that I battle those demons as well, and will help in any way I can. When I was younger, I literally made up a persona, who was cocky, and an asshole, and lived as that persona as often as possible. Because that persona didn't have depression or anxiety.

Now when someone tells someone to just choose to be happy they should get kicked in the nuts. As if someone that has depression has tried everything to feel better besides forcing themselves happy. Like it's even possible to force yourself happy. It's like saying oh you have cancer? Can't you just tell your body to make it go away? |

But because we were satisfied being acquainted with the persona, we never did the uncomfortable and hard work of digging deeper to know the person. Love + connection = life Fear + isolation = death Not exactly the same thing as suicide, but we see that same simple equation time after time after time in mental illness/addiction and recovery. I feel compassion for all of you who are a part of this sort of crisis in any role. Get help. We know that we're social animals. For that reason, sanity and insanity are contagious on some social level. Let the herd protect you until you heal and become strong enough to help protect the others.

Lotta truth there. The actor is very often so adept at playing his part that we never see the problem until after the tragedy. Even worse than convincing you that the survivors won't care, depression will even convince you that they'll actually be better off without you.
