Either way, we're just gonna have to agree to disagree. I've made my opinion clear on what I think of these new fad "ailments" we see in society today.

A fish can only swim upstream if the current is slow enough. Eventually, the fish has to give in or die of exhaustion. Then what? You are not invincible. The only reason why you don't know the severity of pain that depression gives you is that you have not experienced the same level of pain, enough to test your limited ability to handle it. "Facing" your problems involves either truly facing them or ignoring them. He who ignores his problems does not truly live and has, for practical reasons, already committed suicide.

Now, forgive me, but where did you do your research for your doctorate in biology? Master? BS? Well, some kind of bs for sure. You don't know a damn thing about what you are talking about. You don't have the condition. You are the Benny Hinn of physicians. I wonder if you will beat you wife if she gets cancer and doesn't get tough an tell it to get out of her body. Doesn't need a pill or anything.

Damn, you can have an opinion on something, but don't invent horseshit science to back it up. Your post was tragically comic.

Its not that I'm heartless. Its that the compassion I had has been covered up by anger and sadness at what drugs to do people. They dont make you "noemal", those damned anti depressants / anti anxeity drugs make you a freaking pill popping chemically driven automation in society. They steal the rare bloom of life and make you a always happy
smiling drug. Its disgusting, and its sad people buy into it.

So, my post is comical eh? Why? Because your taking current medical theories as the absoulte law? Well fella, 500 years ago they knew the world was flat. Come to find out it isnt. So, how do you KNOW what I said is false?
How about this. Prove me wrong. Find a medical document proving that depression is 100% indepedent of any outside stimulus, that it is 100% outside of the hands of the individual to cope with it and resolve the issue.
Of course, remeber that current theories are only assumed correct in the sense they havent been proven wrong by another. Which means what we KNOW today is most likely going to be looked at as utterly foolish in 100 years.

But regardless, humor me. You think that depression is 100% isolated, that outside stimulus have NO effect and the afected individual has NO way of dealing with it without medical drugs. So, find a medical research paper to support your claims.

You dig in deeper all the time.

What is not known is the precise reason for depression, that is the complete physiological process. Neither is it known for cancer, diabetes, or psoriasis. What IS known about those three conditions is that there is a predisposition to them which can be triggered by outside influences. Why do some people living in virtually identical conditions get diabetes and some not? Why does it run in families. Why does depression run in families even when the children are separated from other family members at an early age? Is it the weak that get SAD? Why are both cowards and heroes afflicted with it? You said the world was thought to be flat. Well they learned otherwise. What didn't happen is that the world went away.

You think thousands of researchers around the world working for decades to understand this are going to read you post and say "Oh what were we thinking? This isn't real after all!"

Of course the outside world influences depression, but it is NOT the cause of it. If it were, then NO pill would help. Just sing "high hopes" and it all gets better.

Find an article that says all depression is 100 percent free of outside influence? Nonsense. You are inventing criteria.

I also noticed early on that somehow you think all this crap our society produces should make people happy or satisfied enough to eliminate depression. Sorry, but it occurs across all economic and political strata. It affects saints and sinners, idiots and 170 IQ kiddies.

Bottom line is that there are thousands and thousands of pages of studies and hundreds of thousands of people who suffer with this who are not somehow lacking in balls.

It is you who live on the flat world. Those who live in a more up to date scientific world know it for what it is. A disease. There is no cure. It can be treated by different ways. Kicking someone in the balls hasn't worked for the centuries it was tried.

If you don't know the hopeless feeling of depression and why someone would want to kill themselves and can't be supportive about it then STFU!

Depression is a serious mental illness that not only effects the person but everyone around them that loves them. How would you like it if you mom, grandmother, brother, sister, gf, whoever, was suicidal and there was nothing you could do for them? How would you like it if people told them over and over how much they sucked and told them to kill themselves?

Sometimes, suicide is a cry for attention, but it is almost never because "mommy and daddy wouldn't buy me a car", a serious suicide attempt is a cry for help in a world where life seems so terrible and hopeless that a person could choose not to exist.

This is not the first time I have read comments like this here. People "advising" others to ignore suicidal people (instead of calling the police or trying to get them help), people telling others to just kill themselves when they make a post describing how hopeless life is.

I know this forum is made up with little boys who don't know better or are trying to look cool but I am sickened by the attitude some here take towards suicide.

I have NO sympathy for someone who wants to kill themselves. If you cant find any amount of happiness surrounded by all the crap modern day culture can provide for you, then the simple flat out fact is this world is better off without you.
Suicide is for the weak. Darwin at work. We desperately need him anyways.

That's pretty cold. It's what I expected Michael D to say, but even he was more tactful.

I crave what modern society CAN'T provide me: peace, love, and a career that wakes ME up every morning (not vice versa).

Errr... If they die it's because they killed themselves. Not because they got some crocodile-tears from ATOT. Publicly announcing to 100,000 strangers that you want to kill yourself usually means you don't want to. Just that you don't feel like you have any way to better articulate your problems.

If you are depressed and are looking for help go to forum related to that topic. Posting in the OT forum of a computer site is just asking for it.

People need love, just like they need air. If you were suffocating, wouldn't you be quite creative in your ways to search for air? Likewise, someone who is starving for love will seek it under any rock and around any corner.

Does this scare anyone else - someone that apparently holds human life to have little value, who has also posted other threads about requesting cheap depleted uranium, and radio detonators? At first, I thought that the other two threads were a joke, but now this comment - that scares me more than some possibly-suicidal 15 year old.

American culture is founded on having a lack of respect for human live. They wont admit it, but it surely is.
Simple proof? Whens the last time you were driving in the city and someone waved at you? Or said hi as your walking down the street?
Now, whens the last time some guy freaked out because someone was doing 65 in a 65 zone in the "fast" lane....

People hate people, most just dont want to admit it because they fear peoples response to that fact.

So, now that we realize this....... Are you a slave to American culture, or are you gonna man up and become your own person?

Watching you try to intellectualize any of your inbred ideas is just painful for the rest of the forum.

I just wanted to say something about people using Darwin's name in vain, so to speak. Evolution (via natural selection) isn't really applicable in modern society as it works when individuals are competing for food and mates. Our society is essentially one with unlimited resources (distribution of resources being the bottleneck, unless you hold neo-Malthusian beliefs,) and the governing dynamics of natural selection become a moot point without limited resources to compete over. Raising natural selection as a reason the suicidal should off themselves is really without merit, as there's no loss in our herd if the "weak" continue to live. If you're so truly concerned with the genetic future of the human race then you should bear in mind that the clinically depressed may not be overly concerned with reproducing to pass on their "weak" traits and also, those negative traits may not be hereditary and may also be treated by medication in their children. Referring to people in such a dire predictment so callously is just apathy.

Not to mention... Darwinism, in its biological sense, is a description of natural phenomena. Copying those natural phenomena to your own decision-making is a bastardization of the entire concept to fit your Neo-Nazi ideals. Humans are essentially different from animals. Animals have worth as a whole, but people have worth as individuals.

Depression is a sign something in your environment is wrong. Its your body's oil light so to speak. Proof? People in "gloomy" states suffer more cases or depression then in "happy" states. Such as Oregon, where theres not as much sunlight. Or Alaska, again because of the lack of sunlight.
Well, that outside stimulus is negatively affecting your body and the first warning signs are depression. But, most people have been spoon fed this medical PC correct horsesh1t that "Its not your fault, its a medical condition! Take a pill, we can fix you!"
To HELL with that I say! YOU can solve your depression. You dont need doctors, you dont need drugs. You need to do a Corona and "Change your lattitude". Find out whats causing your depression and CHANGE IT. No, it wont be easy, no it wont happen overnight. But, rather then man up and try to find what in yoru environment is causing depression people buy into this medical horsesh1t of "Its not your fault, its a medical condition".
Well, of COURSE its a medical condition. Its a medical condition of a chemical imbalance caused by an outside stimulus. Simple as that!
Then why don't ALL of the people in those regions, those "gloomy" states that you mentioned, all have the problem?

I mean, if if the water in a region was impotable, then the vast majority of the population would get sick from it. So if depression is purely causal to environmental factors, then why don't more people in those regions suffer from it? Clearly, there are some holes in your theory there.
Originally posted by: Specop 007
Maybe these depressed people need to move. Maybe they need to start an exercise program. Maybe they need to eat healthy. Hell, maybe they just need a bigger TV! Who knows? But the point is, it IS within your OWN hands to deal with your depression and overcome it! You DONT need drugs, you DONT need doctors. You just need to grow some balls, man up and say "Something is causing me unhappiness" and make some changes!!

Its that simple. You can be a victim and hide behind drugs, or you can work to make yoruself a better man (Or woman) and strike at the root of the problem and change your life. A change which most likely will be for the better, since your body is already giving you warnings signs that something isnt right in your environment.

Own that bitch.
But you're still simply not "getting it". Depression is NOT the same as "unhappiness". Although the two can go hand-in-hand in some cases, they are simply not the same thing. Unhappiness is an emotion. Depression is a medical condition, not an emotion. That's what you seemingly fail to grasp here. Sure, there are things that can be done to help, such as proper daytime sunlight exposure, proper sleep schedules, and exercise, but those generally serve more to mitigate than to "cure" it. Perhaps there really is no "cure", like alcoholism, you just have to avoid allowing the "trigger" factors that cause you to slip into it. But if it were in fact that straightforward and easy to deal with, then why hasn't depression been "cured" from the overall population yet?

In fact that's one of the major factors that causes people not to investigate diagnosis and potential treatments for their problem - the incorrect but widely-believed perception that the problem isn't real, only exists in their mind, and thus is some sort of "mental defect" that they have to overcome. What if athsma sufferers were treated the same way, what if they were simply ridiculed and scorned for "being afraid of exercise"?

I partially agree with you, that drugs are not always the best solution; everyone knows how the phamecutical industry tries to push this and that "magic pill" to make you feel better, all while they make themselves rich, while often ignoring the real underlying problem.

Come on, if your gonna go apesh1t because someone is driving slow in the fast lane, you have to admit you have some level of hate for your fellow man.

Why embrace it? Hate destroys from within. I'm willing to wager that those who live the longest are those who do not foster self-damaging hate their entire lives.

I actually do agree with that. I once wondered what would have happed, had Jimi Hendrix been chemically medicated for his manic/bi-polar disorders. What if all of the people, that have highs and lows, were medicated until they registered in the middle, with the rest of the 'norms? It's kind of like the colors of the rainbow - they stay colorful, unless you try to blend them all together, and then you only end up with grey. How boring life would be if that was the only color that was allowed to exist.

But that issue is totally seperate of whether depression (as well as mania, and some others) are real "disorders" or not. I believe that they are.

No, but likewise, outside stimulus/environmental-factors modifications aren't necessarily a "cure" either. If you honestly found a cure for this ailment, both millions of people would thank you, and you could probably make quite a bit of money doing so, selling a program or whatever.

Please, don't ever have kids. Because if they come to you with a problem, that's making them depressed and concerned over it, you'll probably tell your own children to go kill themselves, wouldn't you?

Really? Funny, I have 3.
The oldest is tops in school. routeinly bringing home awards, and also the top athlete in her class as well. She enjoys all manner of activites, from playing the PS2 to reading a book, and is currently reading the Harry Potter series. She particularly likes horseback riding and archery.
My middle (son) plays games more then the other, and has excellent hand eye cordination. Hes also very outgoing, and routinely stays at our friends house overnight or for the weekend. In addition hes very creative and high strung, as most young boys are. He also loves to go shooting with me, and has been taught the proper basics of firearms handling.
Our youngest, well, shes a little ball of attitude. She has personality, and likes about anything. Has a huge curiosity for the world, and loves to help me on all manner of projects. Shes helped me install the car stereo, build a reloading bench, build a sewing bench for mom and do other little things around the house.

Yep, I'm definately a bad parent. I took a 2 hour detour on our last vacation to take the kids to the Nebraska State Capital, and here in the next few weeks will be taking them to the SAC Air Museum in Omaha. I've regularly taken them out to zoo's, mall's, parks and other places so they can see the world and get some education beyond the classroom.

Whats your point again?

Not every family is 'perfect' like yours. Its okay to be ignorant to what life is really like for some people, but you seriously sounded like a dumb ass when you opened your mouth.

You guys sure to confuse indifference with ignorant.
I simply dont CARE how tough your life is. Not one teeny tiny little bit.


If you don't care, why make a sepecticle out of it? Most people who don't care about things ignore it. *raises eyebrow*

Good point. There are a lot of posts going around from people who supposedly "don't care" enough to comment on it. This might be better if AT didn't show the postcounts. Then people wouldn't try so hard to say nothing.

I've never taken anyone's threat of suicide lightly.

For those who care... if you know or suspect someone is feeling suicidal, ask them the following (verbatim):

1. Are you thinking about killing yourself?

2. Do you have a plan? If so, what is it?

3. When do you plan on killing yourself?

It's also helpful to know whether they have any prior attempts (higher risk/lethality), what their living situation/support system is like, etc.

A 13-year-old boy I used to babysit for shot himself in the head after getting sick of being bullied at school. Suicide isn't fun, or funny.

Suicide Prevention Center: For More Info

If you or anyone you know is ever feeling suicidal, please keep the following numbers on hand:

Suicide Prevention Center: 1-877-727-4747 (TOLL FREE in LA County), or 310-391-1253 from anywhere.

National Hopeline Network at 1-800-784-2433 (TOLL FREE Nation Wide)

My goal in life now is not to work for a car company but rather to START my own car company. Wish me luck.

Wow, that's awesome. I also recommend a short story, "Techno-Shamans in Texas", I think it was called. I found it on the internet a few years ago, it was a pretty good, if short, read.

The state of depression, may be a form of defense-mechnism for some people, to block out the pains and evils of life.. but the "blackness" that forms around you, drowns out everything, including the good things in life, whatever those may be to the person, and thus tends to be a bit of a self-reinforcing black hole. It's truely a vicious thing to get out of.

"I'm failing in school! I must be depressed!" "My girl left me. It must be ADD"

The issue was posted earlier, but I must say it again....

If your child came to you saying that they were going to kill themselves, what would you do? If you told them to stop being a pussy, and they killed themselves anyway, how would you feel?

If you care that little about life, why don't YOU off yourself? I am different from everyone else because I CHOSE to be different. I CHOOSE each and every day to convince sad, gray people like you that love and joy DO exist, and that they're attainable right NOW.

I guess misery truly does love company. Your comment makes you no better than the sad, lost soul who wants to end their own life.

aren't you the same idiot that posted this thread?

go back to p&n you whiny baby
