i can appreciate that. don't make sweeping generalizations of human beings who may be nothing like you, you're not that important.
Not everyone is the same. Generally in more serious cases, people feel the need to be punished because they're worthless. More minor cases don't usually dive into suicidal or self mutilating behaviors. And I'm not making "sweeping generalizations". Would you consider a minor case to be a Self Delete risk? Is Self Delete minor? Last part of your post was unnecessary, and I'm not responding to that.
I have NEVER felt the need to be punished when I'm depressed >_>
Were you told by a doctor that you have clinical depression? And if so, read my above post. If not, you're not depressed.
