So you like watching how other people suffer to make yourself feel better? Pff how generous of you.

That's totally not what she meant asshole.

Doing something, anything can get the endorphins swimming. I've had some tough blows make me sad these past couple of years. I've been able to throw myself into a couple of projects and those helped a ton. Rather than focus on the desperate situation I had simple, practical problems on my mind. Even looking after yourself is a worthwhile project to focus on.

No person is an island.

You've got to stop thinking about so much existential shit man. I use to suffer from depression many many years ago. I found the most important thing was finding the self-discipline to regulate my thoughts. If you're going to be beat your depression (and it CAN be done) you cannot EVER entertain even the smallest little thoughts of existential ideas. Every time one would wander into my head I would immediately recognize it as a problem and put my mind to something else. Contemplating your own existence when already in a fragile state of mind is a terrible thing to do. Learn to discipline your mind and in the process adopt Frodo's plan: throw yourself into as many projects as you can handle.

I haven't had any depression issues for many years now and I don't even have to ignore the existential thoughts anymore. Sounds to me like your mind just needs a good dose of discipline.

I think hope is always a good thing. If you're in a fox hole and a bullet tore through your artery, and there you were slowly bleeding to death, it's gonna be easier for the person who has faith that Jesus and His Angels will be there, shortly followed by an eternity of bliss, than it will be for the one who expects only blackness, death, decomposition, and nothingness.

If Religion is used the wrong way however, it can have the opposite effects. It's all about how you let the beliefs effect you that will determine whether they enhance or destroy your life.

Leodeo, it may seem too simple a suggestion but I've found that books are the best escape.

Although it's strange of him to think that his disability is part of gods plan to help other humans. Seems more like a prank.

Perhaps in poor taste, I couldn't help but laugh at this particular factoid I discovered courtesy of Wikipedia: "Vujicic has written that he keeps a pair of shoes in his closet due to his belief in miracles."

We don t need your help with that. Ive always personally wanted to lay down in front of a train ang get sawed in half. Its cheape r than getting a gun and u have a little time to think about and repen t after its too late

I know someone who shot himself with a 9mm pistol and his brother found him dead in his room.

Look, I've seen a lot of death. Natural deaths, suicides, overdoses, car crashes, accidental electrocutions...

Death tears families apart... so whatever you are going through you need to think hard about and be honest with yourself. Do you want to put the people who love you through that much pain?
