You know you guys all have good insight that can’t be gained through normal means. Isn’t it weird that the suicidal ones seem to know the real gems of life, the truths in which we tell others that can be life-altering, but yet we don’t follow it ourselves. Some of us have such breathtaking views and words for others. And a lot of you are so insightful, with inspiring words and views/thoughts that people living normally just can’t see, because they have not been, where we are now. I’m pretty good with words most of the time, but I learned things from coming here, and also confirmed things I already thought. Better ways to say things, better views to try and help someone. “What a shame we all became such fragile broken things.” But in so losing the fight, we all have gained a gift, in a way… A gift that allows an intricate understanding of many things stemming beyond just blood, pain, and suicidal tendencies.

Yeah – I reckon anybody that treats depression or suicide survivors should at least have depression or at least tried to take there own life at some stage . It gives a whole new meaning to life and death .. I survived an attempt and I got all the ” inspiring words ” and the compassion for people that want to read it .. On the flip side . I Myself feel better talking to the people here as they know exactly what I am feeling inside .. They live it every day .. They didn’t read about it in a medical journal just to pass a test or something .. As for the GIFT of understanding .. Well truth is I wish I didn’t know first hand . I wish depression took the fella next to me and left me alone . But it didn’t so I’m glad you are ALL here to talk with .. It’s become my sad, sad happy place …
Ha! That’s a thought! I wish it was possible to pass our depression on to someone else, someone of our choosing (would not be fair to give it some random stranger who was unlucky enough to pass by us). Many people have wronged me. Would be nice if at least one of them got their comeuppance.
