My only friend has just attempted to kill himself.

and just as predicted, out of the woodwork, all the self hating pill poppers come out to defend depression and other mental illnesses.

because its easier then taking responsibility in life. just play the victim of bad luck.

I don't see anybody "defending depression".

I do see a lot of people jumping to assumptions and bashing the OP. If you guys feel so strongly that he should try to help his friend (as he should), then why would you bash on him and make him depressed as well? (I'm assuming here that OP's friend actually did die, which would make this a very depressing topic for him.) Hypocrites.

Unless you've been there, you don't know what it's like. Don't speak of things which you have no experience in, and don't make generalizations.

[devildogelite]

yeah and you have the option to get a doctor

Because people with mental illnesses are known for their rational decision making.

Yeah medicine is complete bullstuff. Like forget what doctors say, I know what I believe is right because I just feel it.

I guess I did when I said depression is an actual thing and not people just looking to play the victim.

[Swampivorous]

Totally relevant

Exactly

[Greek2me]

Also, why do you call anybody defending the OP from all this hate a "self hating pill popper"? At the moment you seem like the angriest, most hateful person here.

its quite possible he was depressed at some point because he did have cancer

Although I agree that's possible, generalizing everybody with depression as a "self hating pill popper" isn't accurate, and wanting to die is the worst feeling I've ever felt, in my entire life. I think it's a bit too serious to generalize people with depression, considering it's a real threat to many, including myself in the past.

I think he was generalizing anybody at all defending the OP as a "self hating pill popper". Either way, your point stands. I know people with depression and it is a very serious thing that doesn't have to have anything to do with drugs.

Thanks to some for comforting

depression is accepted as a legitimate condition by modern medical science because otherwise there'd be an uprising of teenagers bitching and moaning about it
