Sometimes people need to be told the cold truth. If I was in his situation I'd rather people were honest. Why the fuck come on an internet forum telling everyone how suicidal you are if you don't want them to be at the very least honest?

He is clearly not well, Napoleon. He is hurting, and its not because he wants to. There is a reason why doctors don't use that type of language, or why I guarantee they won't try to just talk him out of his feelings and expect him to get better. Telling him to get a grip is like telling someone with a broken leg to walk it off. "Honest" is not quite the word I am thinking of. Undecided

I am not picking on you at all, in fact the only reason I mentioned that post was because you did tell him to get help, so I can tell you had only the best and more pure of intentions. (And for the record, I am sure the same is true of everyone else; I was rash in judging the thread after only having read the first page)

I think the reason he came to an internet forum is because he has so few people to talk to in real life: depression can be hard to talk about to anyone, because they are often such dark, emotional and personal feelings. Sometimes someone can be in a lot of emotional pain and their family never finds out until its too late. I think its important to give him what everyone (especially one who is suffering) needs: compassion, patience and understanding.
Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.

Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.

Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
