I just learned that an old friend committed suicide this morning. We weren't really close, so I'm not devastated or anything, just sad that he must have been very unhappy and felt like he didn't have anyone to turn to for help. I've been where he must have been, and I survived because I had good friends to help me crawl out of that place.

I'm a bit like that, a bit of a loner. I admit to once considering suiciding, actually. There just didn't seem to be any way out at the time, and I think it's only because of one friend who happened to notice at the right time I didn't.
Alright, it got me berated for almost doing it, he couldn't believe I was going to, but it scared it out of me at least.
I don't like to try and think like that anymore. I keep looking back and wondering how I ever managed to consider it in the first place.

Thanks, Handcuff. I just feel sad for my friend, wish I had known what he was going through. I hadn't talked to him for more than a year.

What I've learned about depression is that, at its heart, it involves the inability to imagine that the future could be better than the present. One feels that one's current emotional pain will continue without diminishment indefinitely. If that's what the future must be like, suicide comes to seem like a reasonable solution. But, of course, that's the fallacy of depression. Current pain doesn't continue unabated; it lessens over time. It's a matter of managing the pain until you reach the point where it begins to let up.

I agree. I have depression and that's how it is. You feel pain, for me its out of nowhere. I have a beautiful wife that I fall more and more in love with every day, a 3month old little girl that is my life now and numerous other things. My life isn't bad at all, but when my depression gets me down all I can feel is hurt and sadness.

I have seen a therapist once, but being shy it didn't help much. What helps me is to just keep thinking that it will pass because it always does. Might be a day or a week, but it always passes.

Luckily now I have health insurance. My med now is working great. I am starting to sleep better too.
