I’m just wondering how old you guys are because i think maybe depression and suicidal thoughts might be more common in the younger ages but, maybe I’m wrong What do you think?
I’m 21.. I first had suicidal thoughts at 13 so I probably agree it starts at a younger age but some people get over it and other people it stays with them.
21 here. Life changed when I was twelve, it became harder at 16… I know several older people (50’s, 30’s, 25’s) who struggled with suicide/depression throughout their lives. Some only recently had these sudden onsets of despair at a much older age (adult) rather than teenage years. I haven’t really looked into it that much. Anyways, someone else might provide a better answer, I’m sure.
I am 30 now, it started when I was 11, then bad humps at 15, 17, 23, 27 and 30. It comes and goes, but in between, things have been great and it’s really worthwhile to get over the hump. It is possible to live an amazing life with this illness. I have a friend who lost his leg to cancer – some things he can’t do, but nothing can stop him from everything else. Depression is the same, it is possible to control it.
But definately it;s harder for teenagers, those years are rough, so I definately recomend sticking it out until you are an adult and have some independance. Then it gets better
I’m 15. It is generally more difficult for teenagers but people any age can be depressed or have suicidal thoughts. I just pretty much gave up because early on I learned that life actually doesn’t get better (at least not for me).
I’ll be 16 next month. But I’m hoping that I’ll be gone before then. The way I see it; Death is God’s way of saying you’re fired, suicide is humans way of saying you can’t fire me I quit. Not sure why I say that though. I’m agnostic.
