Has anyone researched depression?
Have any of you really been depressed or know someone depressed?
Do you fuckin' know what depressed people do when no one is around?
Real depression is a chemical inbalance in the brain, caused by hormone fluctuation, extreme stress, or a hereditary deficiency of a chemical that allows people to deal with everyday ups and downs.
Real depression lasts for years, not a week, not a month, not one year, but mostly for the rest of that persons life.
They see death as an end to their pain. The pain of disappointment, tragedies, loss, and living in bad conditions. It's also the end to the pain of seeing a beautiful sky lit up by the setting sun, or the moment two people experience a few seconds of deep understanding, or the ultimate orgasm. They feel that love is just as painful as hate.
Real depressed people will go through life waiting for that time when they can die without the interference of others. Anyone announcing their decision to commit suicide is looking for attention.
When no one is around they practice destroying themselves: self-mutilation, pills and alcohol to numb the senses, crying until they absolutely cannot shed another tear, yelling with rage and throwing items or their bodies around just to feel the pain.
These people with clinical depression, can still hold down a job, have a family, and function in life. However, they radically change moods, or stay terminally moody. They have days when they show excellent performance at whatever task they embark on, and days when walking to the restroom isn't worth it.
As far as men and woman that commit suicide, women do not choose lame ways to die, men do!
A woman puts thought into it. She makes it a piece of art. Woman are most likely to choose painful deaths, while men choose to end their lives quickly with as little pain as possible! Woman are more likely to slit their wrists or throats, to hang themselves, poison themselves, drown, step in front of a moving vehicle, or stab themselves. Most suicidal attempts by men are with a loaded gun (quick, easy, and they never felt a thing).
