Another way of looking at depression

[Faith No More]

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
~ Dorothy Parker

Anymore I just feel trapped by life.  I've made several suicide attempts.  All failures.  I no longer have the will to try and take my own life.  Every method has such strong drawbacks that I just can't approach any of them.  I am failing more and more as each day goes by.  I no longer know what to do.

Well, you can always PM if you think that will help.

And that goes for anybody that wants to talk about depression or needs a sympathetic ear.

You light up my days Rob. You're certainly not a burden to me

Well, thanks a whole bunch for that song in my head.

[Edwardo Piet]

Which song is that?

Me too. I'm always open.

I'm so sorry to hear that Jorm I wish there was something I could say to make it better. You can always talk to me, even just to vent, if it would help in any way. I know what it's like to crave death. At one point it's all I could think about.

Same here. While I don't feel comfortable discussion details in a public forum, I certainly would love an exchange of experiences.

When I look at the state of the world I tend to think that anyone who isn't depressed is simply not paying attention.

I've always liked Jor. I remember years back back when she was Apophenia, I've always enjoyed her posts and liked her a lot.

You're always welcome to PM me too Jor, of course, about absolutely anything.

It's why I don't watch or read the news. I wouldn't be able to live my life I'd get too depressed. Last time I regularly watched and read it I was very ill.

Reality is good but without a little optimism and an "ignorance is bliss" approach I start to feel suicidal. Ever since I stopped thinking about the world and focused on my own life I've never been suicidal since.

Red pill or blue pill? When I was younger it was blue pill. Then for years, red every time.

Nowadays I like to take one of each.

Thank you

I didn't realize I had such an impact on you.
