No judgement here lady
I like him very much, it is his view on things in this case. I too don't feel inclined to click.

Apologies but he is very much in the right when it comes to this particular case
people have the right to do with their body what they will, but to deny that it will affect others is just willful denial.

It doesn't work that way.
you know it will affect others, but then you get into sub-catergories. Some believe the others don't really care anyway. Most believe the others would be better off without you, so you are actually doing the best thing for them. Depression is a bitch.

Give this person a cookie.
If you get to the point that you feel suicide is your only option then by that time you don't feel like anyone actually cares about you. Even before then you begin to wonder why you even bother talking to anyone else.

It isn't so much
that you feel no-one cares about you. That would be simple, and a hug would cure it, as it does in teenage angst. Depression bends logic, which is why it is so hard to understand. You hear people say they care about you; but the person they care about is the facade you have been putting up; but it isn't you. They like the person you try to be just fine. The one that jokes, sings, makes fucking videos whatever. And you want to be that person too. But you aren't.
People love what you might be. Not who you are.

this exactly.
i have suffered with depression for years, it's a strange beast, even I don't understand it, it consumes you and the facade that comes up is a way of "self protection" you do tend to think nobody cares, it's dark.

I suppose that is a more accurate description.
I've been suffering for a while, but only recently been diagnosed, fortunately it's not too bad and I can cope with it most of the time.
But, excluding my doctor, there's only one person who I've actually told and I don't think I could cope so well if I didn't have her to talk to. With everyone else I just pretend everything is ok, but it's getting harder and harder to do that.

What's worse is when you're open and honest about what's 'wrong' with you and explain yourself honestly in an effort for them to understand what's going on a bit better. Being reassured they're there for you and will help.
But you're hypomanic. Everything's great when you're fun to be around, albeit a 'little bit bonkers', unpredictable and 'quirky'.
When you hit the pits of hellish depression, they just go away and leave, fed up with you being so down. Even your best friend in the world goes away. Because not even they can cope with your pain and suffering. But they expect you to cope with it. They get furiously mad and angry if you even dare to anything to hurt yourself, let alone when you finally attempt suicide.
Coming from a Bipolar sufferer (amongst my other vast collection of psych issues) who has recently had my best friend of almost 10 years give up on me. You are fully aware that people care. You are fully aware that people will hurt. But when they give up on you, when they don't want to put up with the hurt you're causing in life, who are they to deny you the peace which death can bring to everyone?

well put.
I mean, yes, it's possible to be depressed and yet remain aware that people *do* care about you and *will* be upset and have their lives disrupted if you off yourself.
But then, if you're aware of that, you're aware that these people around you who care about you *also* get upset and have their lives disrupted on a regular basis when you're having a panic attack, or you're waking up screaming from a night terror, or you're sobbing your heart out till 2am when you both need to be up at 6am, or when you miss work and social events because you simply can't bring yourself to put on the shiny public face and go out there and be the person you're expected to be.
Depression-logic then steps in and convinces you that you are a burden; a toxic person making everyone else's life nearly as unbearable as your own. You start to think that the acute distress caused to those around you by your one-off death will actually be quite minor compared to the cumulative distress they'd experience over another 40 years of day-to-day life with you and your illness. You believe, sincerely, that it's not just your own suffering you are ending.
When you're not depressed, it's easy to see that it really doesn't work like that. But as someone's already said further down the page, that's unlocking a box with the key you will find inside it.
