"I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, its not.....The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone."

women get abused, hit, raped and discriminated against far, far more than men. The negative memories/thoughts that lead to depression would seem to be more prevalent in them I would think.
Maybe men being more susceptible has to do with their aggressive nature? They deal with these negative issues with more aggression/action and outward displays.
Still an interesting subject because as far as genetic makeup goes I don't think men are anymore predisposed to mental illness than women are, but I could be wrong.

you see, some people take things out of context and only want to be argumentative. i believe that in this quote that there was also reference to rw's children and how they must feel to have lost their father? very sad situation whichever side you choose to be on. it still doesnt distort the fact that this man only considered his own feelings, imo of course.
To feel real empathy, you have to have suffered. For those that feel judgment instead of empathy for someone that dies by suicide, they better hope that their life doesn't turn rough, because they will be unequipped to handle it. I think that most people that commit suicide battle and fight for a long time, and that takes strength and courage. I don't think suicide is ever the right answer, but for those that get to the end of their rope and get exhausted, everyone should extend grace and be thankful that they didn't have to go through whatever drove that person to take their own life. I've gone through some difficult stuff in my life, and suffering can be a gift because it truly does give you compassion. But I remember even as a young child hearing about suicides, and the only thing that came to my mind was sadness for what the person must have been going through. The good thing is that the only judgment that means anything is that of God, and not that of any self-righteous imbicles.
Drpugilist, the reason WHY this thread has more pages is because people like you diminish the fact that depression is HARSH ILLNESS that needs to be treated constantly, so we have people calling victims of suicide by depression "cowards" vs the people that actually have studied the disease and seen it close.
A special thanks in this thread to Akphidelt and Justin Cruise. Thank you for allowing others to eloquently comment on your stupidity while failing to address the reality of a serious issue. I love how those that say suicide is a cowardly behavior and that those individuals calling it out as cowardly would never succumb to such behavior.
Well, you fucking nitwits, there are more than 7 billion people in this world and since you are able to fully understand what makes each individual tick and why they have chosen this path, I kindly as that you stop wasting your time posting on this website and please help out at many mental health clinics around the world, as possible. I mean you have all been able to make breakthroughs that trained doctors and specialists have been unable to achieve for centuries, I am just grateful for you to grace us with your knowledge, prior to the rest of the world learning that suicide is strictly the behavior of a coward, despite the fact that someone maybe suffering from the PTSD, survivor's guilty, terminal disease that causes immense daily pain, like ALS or a host of other issues.

first i dont know why you feel the need to resort to name calling. thats always a good way to get someone to keep an open mind during any discussion...
anyway, my point is enfuego that obviously he had some problems. mental, physical or whatever. i wish that he, and anyone else that my be contemplating suicide, would have gotten treatment. if he was getting treatment (i dont know) and it wasnt working, its still not a reason to "give up" on life and i could never imagine doing so for my kids and familys sake. now, ive never had any mental illness or clinically diagnosed depression but i have a couple of family members that have been diagnosed as bi polar. i understand than when their meds are "off" they do some very radical things. i do believe that suicide is a choice that was made and i do believe that it is a sin. im sorry if you disagree. take care and please dont call me names.
