Ah, I get ye now, but the analogy wasn't great, because it just made depression seem too easy to escape from, and, from what I hear, it ain't.

And if it's depression this fella has, surely he's getting help? If not, then why not?

sorry to mislead you then.

and you have to understand that "help" doesnt always actually help. sometimes it takes more then that

Support then.

Im trying as hard as I can, and thats why I was trying to explain to you what was going on with him (as far as I can tell), and why being aggresive was a bad idea

@Redlin5: timing my man, timing...

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I'm too busy pluging my thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/362.269165-The-gift-game] to start interpreting what the basis of your dicussion is.

 

[steeple]

Perhaps if we avoided all the cliches involved, I might've been inclined to a less direct approach. But no, we stuck to the 'you can't understand' bullshit. Well, no I can't understand fuck all unless you tell me, can I? Alas, it read the same as the many other suicide 'attempts' I've been party to, and I'm past the point of reading anything other then attention seeking into it as a result.

Plus, it pisses on my pudding that he chose to involve his friends in this now, rather than working it out with them or others. Depression or no, there's no excuse for this. If he feels he's tried hard enough, I can only say try harder and/or get assistance really, nothing ever got solved on it's own. Simple problem solving, not rocket science.

as I said, Im sorry this has happened the way it is, but your solution "try harder" isnt realistic, as its not a given that the depressed knows working harder will change anything.

as for "simple problem solving", well, I agree with you. it is capable of being simple, but we dont want the simple, easy solution...

I was about to say I fail to see how they can ignore a logical thing like that, but then again depression was never one for logic. But, really, that's all I can say. I can't guarantee it'll get better or worse. All I can say is that you won't know unless you try.

All's fair in internet and war. And I'm being an ass because I usually don't promote a thread so violently.

Barging in, talking about nothing but my thread, all caps, quoting people in order to get their attention...?

Am I missing something?

Spoiler: Here, have some compensation.

yes, you missed quite alot actually.... please reffer to the last to pages, mostly close to the end of page 228, and you will see what you missed...

 

[xmbts]

@Redlin: Sorry, just the situation you barged in on isn't the best, any other time and I doubt we'd care too much.
