Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
TW: Subject: Suicide (Directed at atheists.)
Thought: I don't agree that suicide is for everyone. I feel that people with transitional/temporary depression should be prevented from committing suicide. Now having said that...
(Questions are for people whose situations will last for decades or even life)
QUESTIONS?:
1. How long should the other types of ill/depressed people live through their suffering if their situation is not going to change?
2. How many of us are inclined to suffer for and with the ill/depressed person in hopes that their situation will change for the better?
3. How many of us will attempt to help these ill/depressed people before having to abandoning them to save our selves thus leaving them in the same or worse situation?
4. Why is it wrong for those people whose situation/s will not change for the better to commit suicide?
5. Are we selfish for wanting these people to live through their suffering just so we don't have to suffer the grief of not having them in our lives?
6. Why do we shame these people for wanting their suffering to end?
7. What gives us the right to judge how much these people should suffer through?
8. Why do we think we have the right to force anyone to live for any of our reasons?

RE: "Would you say it to your best friend? Or whoever you love? Even if you knew they were suffering. When it came down to the crunch would you encourage Them to take their own life?"
If their suffering has been more then 2 decades, and they have SEEK HELP (which is key) and have not received RELIEF, I would support their choices because I love them. I value their presents in my life and I would tell them that I will grieve for them and miss them.
As far as:
" Help them? (If it were legal). I suppose this is going towards the topic of euthanasia in a way."
I could not help them do it. I am just not that strong mentally. Weather or not it's legal does not matter to me.
because I suffer I want the right to self annihilation? Is this right?
Why ask, is my question as that right was a given at birth so why fight it? Why even ask is a more pertinent question!
This is a most perplexing thread of "yeas" and "nays" while skirting the fact that this is a help site OR maybe it has turned into an elephant grave yard where people go to convince themselves they do not deserve to live. Kind of like that cartoon movie of those animals that left the new york zoo for africa. Yes I want to be the giraffe and go to the DIEING hole and just wait to die! Oh wait no I do not want to wait I want to be pro-fucking active so I will hasten my demise...!
U know I more than likely will get banned for this next statement BUT if I follow with the people who think it is just cherry to go off and kill myself splattering my fucking brains all over the scenery then before I go I will make ADAM LANZA my hero cuz what he did is way cool!!!!
Now how stupid is that last paragraph? HUH? pretty fucked up but you people are leading yourself's to a conclusion as such by the "oh it's ok I am tired so it does not matter"
Get off of the "pitty" platform and stomp the fucking fire out before it gets to big. you are on this world/plain for one fucking reason and that is to live while you breath. Death will come soon enough as the fact you are breathing dictates that you will die...SO...
sorry 4 b'n the dick here but someone had 2......
