Suggestion about suicide prevention

I was lucky enough to never have been suicidal, but I know what the tunnel looks like and that it can be too much of an effort to even take a shower.

Before it hit me, I was just as ignorant. Which, possibly, makes me even angrier when that kind of advice comes up. And it does every time, like a bad habit.

Oh, I get it. There's a lot of dumb shit out there posing as advice for depression. A lot of people out there think they are totally qualified to tell others how to fix themselves when they are really talking out of their asses. It pisses me off, too.

Unfortuantely, I have had more than my share of experience with depression. Not only have I experienced it, many of my best friends did, too. Two of them didn't make it to their thirties because of it. You can rest assured I'm not one of those people just talking out of their ass.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
