Lots of ignorance in this thread from people who clearly have no understanding of mental illness :snooze:



Its not easy to just "go get help"

Yea you're right.

That's why DB going on off. If he was to kill himself, his rants are a way of telling you this isn't nothing new and shouldn't be attributed to a mistaken overdose.

People will only understand if they go to through it until then they're disconnected with it. You can't really blame them for it since they don't know or can't feel it.

And you keep your head up too

Typical MISCONCEPTION about depression...

I was a on the rugby and cricket team in highschool...I was an honour roll student...I get along with people at work...I work with 90% women, and they wonder why the hell I am not married with a nice happy family...Some of my professors think I am one the smartest students they ever taught...In fact, I wrote a paper on how to improve physical activities in school age children, and the Toronto District School Board was so impressed with my recommendations, they are trying to implement some of them

I fit so perfectly in social situations...

But when I go home, and think about life and the universe...It all seems like BULLSHYT to me...Everything seems so hopeless...

If you don't suffer from depression, of course you will not understand it...It is like trying to understand a teen girl with anorexia...

Nobody calls a person suffering from heart disease or diabetes "weak ass" but when your brain is little off, people just don;t show the same understanding...They make it seem like it is your fault, it is something that you are choosing...

Who the fcuk wouldn't want to be happy-go-lucky...?

I've dealt with depression before...and actually went into a western psych ward for 8 days in 2010 because of a failed suicide attempt.

There was a real dark period of my life that lasted five years with depression....it took alot for me to get better but I still deal with it from time to time.

People asked me, "why are you depressed?" but they never got it...and environmental factors have a lot to with it as well as upbringing and personal issues.

My depression/anger/struggle came from growing up as a first generation Nigerian/West Indian American in predominantly white/racist Pittsburgh.

You're right, people who don't understand it or have never gone through it will never truly "get it". They just think depression is just something you can 'get over' and "shake off" when it's much more complex than that.

I appreciate your courage and honesty on here...especially considering how many ignorant people there are that don't understand what's going on that are quick to judge and call people names just for daps and rep.

Take care man.

There is a difference with being periodically sad, and having persistent depressive disorder...People with persistent depressive disorder may be sad even when things are going well for them...

I don't know your case, but people with persistent depressive disorder don't need street drugs, they need psychiatric help...It is easier to kill yourself when you are high...

From my experience working in hospitals, whenever we admit a person who attempted suicide, you best believe in the majority of cases, other drugs are involved...

Drugs inhibit your senses, and if you are thinking of suicide, it is that much easier to follow through...

I've attempted suicide before and got locked up in a loony bin (and it was following an LSD trip lol). I've spent a total of 60 some days in psych hospitals (2 separate times, 1 month each), another month in some rehab type of facility, took meds for a while, met with psychiatrists/psychologist and all that garbage.

Drugs have still helped me more than any of those other things ever could have. Drugs like weed and psychedelics can give you perspective on what matters in life (at least for me). And in my experience drugs don't dull your senses - they make things more real and make you more aware, and sometimes they can make you more aware of negative aspects of life. Meds, psych hospitals, and therapists try to turn you into a drooling apathetic zombie who doesn't ask questions - and ime meds and psych hospitals only make things much worse.

Was it the the LSD trip that made you do it?

I'm planing to try LSD and Im not depressed or nothing but Im not super happy about where my life is heading. Still think its a good thing to try out LSD?

Well without being in your shoes I can't recommend one way or another. But I will say my LSD trip was the most significant experience in my life. I feel like I gained a profound understanding of life, God, the cosmos, etc, that still sticks with me to this day. Although most people do not have that kind of trip either.

And no it wasn't the LSD alone that made me do it. Circumstances in my life definitely were a factor.

Looking at his twitter page he's quoting/retweeting whenever people reply to him, and seems to be getting quite a number of responses.

Although he's probably not doing it intentionally, it does seem like he's doing it for attention. If you're really going to kill yourself you don't go posting about it.
