I've known people with depression.

I've also known the families left behind after suicide.

Depression or not, bubble or not, suicide is the pussy way out.

I suffer from severe depression, as do many of my family members.

I feel the same way Rider does. What does that make me?

Agreed.

I am sure almost everyone has thought about it at some point, the difference is the acting on it.

I like pussy

I'm with fleck... I know that if I lose my job and have to quit my meds cold-turkey... bad things will happen.

i dont. Too many parents instead of dealing with the loss go on some insane crusade to make sure it never happens again and only succeed in stealing our time, freedoms, and tax dollars. Deal with the loss, accept what happened and move on without fucking up other peoples lives. Especially if it was your shitty excuse for parenting that caused the situation in the first place

I can see it withthe older folks now with the economy in the shitter and their retirement monies disappearing. What I am curious to know is are the # of attempted suicides up too. The lame attempts are usualy just a cry for help but if someone is intent on taking themselves out they usualy succede.

Yup, definitely. The last friend I heard about carefully put all of his stuff in order, wrote his suicide note and will, boxed up everything with names on it for the people he was leaving it to, then went and hung himself in a public park so that his body would be found and he wouldn't stink up the house that he was leaving behind. The ones who really want to die, do.

Agree about the older folks and their retirement or lack of what once was a decent retirement and also that many times an "attempt" is just a cry for help.

I work almost 60 floors up in a building...have guns at home and 4 vehicles capable of 150 + mph. I'm pretty sure "if" I wanted to off myself...I'd succeed on the first attempt.

Yeah that's alway been a thought too...'if" I ever did try it...my luck I would survive...wake up and have friends and coworkers shaking their head and a police officer standing there and charging me with a crime...I'm an invalid...and still alive.

I'm pretty sure though...of course not 100 % that if I shoot myself with the intent to die...I will. I've been trained how to kill and I have guns capable of making a big mess. Again though...I know nothing is 100 %. That would suck to fail.
