Depression is real. It is dangerous. People who attempt suicide seek a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I feel a closeness to people with mental illnesses. I tried to become a clinical art therapist, but ran into a female director, who kicked out of the program for arguing with her. In my practicum, I was getting very good results with some very florid delusional patients.
It is certainly real. I used to deal with it years ago. I still get some kind of weird version of "holiday depression" every year around this time, AFTER the holidays are over. It just seems like such a let down after the build up to the holidays. It's not really a "depression," more like a sadness for which there is no real explanation.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

I'm sorry, it's awful what some people go through. I hope he can get well.
The people that really want to die don't do it like that..he was crying out for help in a desperate way. Maybe he was afraid of what he might do later on if he went home. I'm glad his kids didn't have to witness that...or worse.

Cutting yourself doesn't mean you're trying to kill yourself anyway but it does mean you're having a nervous breakdown or are on the verge of one.

Some suicide attempts are cries for help. I kept mine secret. I thought I was serious but I chickened out when push came to shove. I dont know what I wanted. Perhaps I wanted an escape from my situation and I saw none.
