I’ve been fighting with this stupid depression for over a year. Now that I managed to feel better, with a lot of work and dedication, everybody around me is falling down. I got 3 friends who suddenly want to die. One of them is at the hospital right now, for it. This is weird. I don’t want to lose them. I’m probably the best person to understand them, and help, but I don’t really know how to. I don’t really know exactly what made ME feel better. Just pills, therapy and taking some risks.
This is a mad world. Really. I thought I wasn’t strong enough. But it seems like life is too strongly bad for lots of us.

I agree that life is difficlt for most of us. It seems like the trend of life becoming overwhelming for people is getting more and more common. I never thought I would see things like this. I grew up in the 70-80’s and things were good then. Now it seems we have more problems then we have solutions for and lots of pepople are cracking and gong mad or suffer depression or go the suicid route. I hope things get better for all of us. I have pulled through some really deep hard times and finally things are going pretty well for me now I hope it continues.
hang in there buddy.
Be straight with them. Say “I am living proof that you can pull yourself out the mud”. Don’t look to yourself for their answers. You looked to yourself for our own answers. They have to do that for themselves. You took risks, and got help, and have busted your balls to achieve success in feeling better. “Better” might not be the ultimate goal but it’s a small achievement of many more to come. If your friend is in the hospital because of an attempt on his life, don’t judge. Let them know you’re not judging. And just talk. Tell them to let you in. That You understand better than others and you do. Offer your support but you can’t fix em. Just like no one but you could fix you.
