LusciousLibra: Ok... I've read this whole thread. Why do ppl deny that depression exists? It does. Live with it and help your friends and family to cope.

Depression is not something for which there is a magic cure. Don't even try to argue with me on this one, it's something that I have suffered with for more than half my life.

The friend that the OP is speaking of for sure sounds to me like he is depressed in some measure. That is my non-professional opinion.

People that are suffering from depression do so in many ways. The OP's friend appears to see comfort in death and so be it. So did I. It was something that I craved to experience for a long time.

The day to day life while living with depression is not easy. I could see no possible happy future. In no way could I see myself being here past 25 yrs old, that was when I was really bad and wished not to be here at all. But I am here. There is help out there whether by councelling or by medication or with both

I am medicated. It works for me. It may not work for another.

Councelling can work too, but only if the patient and the professional build up a trust and means of communication. Without that they are both wasting time.

To the OP: Listen to your friend. Do NOT lecture, but steer him towards help if you can. You (and his other friends) are his sounding boards. A big job, but well worth the results. Good luck to you both.

No matter what, I hope your friend feels better soon cause there's nothing worse than feeling like there's nothing to live for.

tornado778: you,,,or anyone else in the cs mafia wont shut me up!!!!

its not the first time ive seen you tell someone to keep there opinions to themselves here ,,,,,just because i told one of the cs posse what i think of them???

Well, we'll form an orderly queue then will we?

Think about what you are doing before you attack someone, that's all I meant. You have no idea of that persons emotional state. It could be have detrimental effects.

I agree with u 100% depression is an awful this to try and cope with, and I am another person who knows first hand what that feels like.

Fair play to ya for turning it into something positive in ur life and best of luck with the degree xwave

galwaydave: he is lucky he has you im sorry to hear about your mum it takes time it wont be next week or even next year but someday you begin to feel happier that you had them than sad they were taken away. i see every now and then my little brother who wouldnt remember her looks at the ground when mothers day adverts are on tv breaks my heart.


man thats bad for your brother least you are big enough to deal with that, with me her death if anything has made me stronger if that makes sense in a strange waydunno I feel like I can cope with anything but I also think its because I`m so numb from the whole thing like I dont what happens kinda scary an all

In response to: I have a friend of a few years and all he does is talk about death, today he said he had to attend a funeral which is no harm but everything around him centres with death, just out of the blue today he said to me he would be better off dead
What is wrong with him?

Does he talk about death with just you or does he talk about it with everyone...Because maybe he's taking the piss out of you cos he knows that you'll do something stupid like come on to an internet forum and discuss it with strangers and maybe he gets a sick kick out of that thought...
