Therapy works; its a very slow process but through intimate and pointed conversation you can help someone eradicate an unwanted and destructive behavior.

Psychiatry though... I mean I know that our drugs have gotten better. But still... Placebo results have always topped the results of the actual drug in test trials. I feel like we are just throwing anything into pills and seeing what they do.

So true.

I think psychiatrists just think everyone is similar, and it's annoying.

It varies. I believe Happy Camper found a good psychiatrist a while back, and the drugs he prescribed her have helped her immensely. There are bad psychiatrists and bad drugs you always have to be on the watch for, but I feel that psychiatry shouldn't be dismissed as an option.

I must say, though, if you are considering committing suicide, just try, try as hard as you can, to think about how long your problems are going to bother you, and then consider how long you likely have left to live. Go to google, and figure out what portion of your life your problems are going to affect you. And then consider how much more of life you have to live, and remember, you haven't even lived half your life yet. It's almost certain that if you're down in the dumps now, that things will average out with an awesome period later on.

How do you think we do everything? Process of elimination works. What they've done is gotten a rough idea of what they need through science, and worked from there.

Yeah I've felt this feelings for so many times. And that's when I encounter big problems in my life. As I remember, there is a moment when I'm handling my fathers gun and wants to pull the trigger in my head. But thankfully, I didn't do it. And now I can say I'm a strong person and whatever problems will come to my life I know I can surpass it. Biggrin

Dude, stop fucking making note of every single post the guy makes. Also, it's apparently not a bot, just some guy who doesn't know how to post.

Well in Raikurons defense the guy did have a spam link in his signature when he first joined which was removed by an admin. Personally I find this all sort of funny.

Only you

As I wrote those thoughts years ago, I might add this:

There's also another way to drop out of the system, and that is the inner life as some would call it. It is becoming the silent observer of your own thoughts and deeds, not being the judge but being a lurker in a way. It is a form of self-discipline (not a pretty sounding idea, is it?) that can be explored through meditation, writing, reading, and observing silence for a little bit of time every day. It is about acheiving the balance of tension and relaxation and reaching a point of stillness inside your brain to allow it to function better.

One way you can do this is live in the moment. Notice the beauty of nature. Pay attention to the fine details of a tree, even if you do not know the words to describe every thing going on with the tree. If you are stuck in a waiting game, see it as an opportunity to become more aware, to observe your thoughts.

This is a concept not nessecarily easy to explain, it is best off by doing. But it has helped me a long way in my depression.

The thought that stopped me from suicide was that high school doesn't last forever.

Darksoul · 11-06-2011 02:36 AM

Man fuck this shit.. People are selfish so I ain;t gonna do suicde i thought of it so whats the point?

Story and Myth · 11-10-2011 10:24 AM

I haven't been on this website in forever, but I thought I'd share the link that helped me the most:
http://www.cracked.com/article_15658_the...guide.html
It helped me come to terms with the fact that my whole life is a cage, but not only can I see through the bars, I know that the door will open the day I turn 18. So now I sit by the window, longingly gazing out and dreaming of the escape that will surely be mine one day, instead of trying to find something sharp enough to open my veins and release my soul from its imprisonment. I know that if I wait for the freedom, it will be so much sweeter than if I give up now...
