My comment on “i believe falling in love can eliminate depression.” by alexia. There isn’t any “hate”, asking for “partners”, and mention of “methods” in my comment. :/

“Hi alexia. In my opinion, you are partially right and partially wrong. Yes, serotonin and dopamine is released during activities related to falling or staying in love. But it also releases oxytocin. Oxytocin is usually released during and after sex, during and after kissing, and during and after hugging; basically, during and after any intimate/romantic act. The problem with oxytocin is that it makes people attached to their partners. This attachment can border on dependency. A depressed person […]

The Nobody; Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

There is something liberating about accepting being a nobody.

I have been bullied, belittled, and abused as a child in both my school and in my family. For the longest of times, I have done my best to improve my reputation and status in society in response to these actions. However, I have failed time and time again. After numerous short lived careers, huge heart aches, and personal failures, I have come to the realization that, indeed maybe they were all correct before. Maybe indeed I am a nobody.

My thoughts on death and suicide have been a blend of careful religious historical philosophical (even theoretical physics) study, and my own emotions. I would like to open up the idea of the first ingredient of my blend for our community’s discussion and for the reader’s additional insight.

Suicide as a right can be seen throughout our history. Various ancient cultures have seen suicide as an honorable way to die. […]

Selfish Suicide?!

by Hance_Soelow 11/28/2015

written by Hance_Soelow

I hate it when people generalize suicidal patients and suicide victims as selfish. I hear my friends, family, and doctor say this about suicidal people all the time. Its even prevalent online. They always say that we are only thinking of ourselves, not those who love us. For me, those who want to keep us alive and call us selfish are in fact the very people that are selfish. They’re the ones who want us to live, to be with them, despite the sufferings and emotional torture we endure. They can’t grasp the possibility of us ending our lives by our own hands and accept us […]
