Nice and colorful! Very wise of you!

Extraordinary discussion, however what many tend to not understand is that people that are suffering with depression don't look at it like that

This is Wonderful and magnificent post, This is why I don't show my face my address and were I live to people I don't know because they could be bullies. And I think committing suicide is horrible and that's why if people bully me I just tell a older person or a older friend that I know.

Very wise post from the very wise CoffeeCow.

Very wise post. I hope to see more posts like this from you.

This post is somewhat true, but there's a lot more to this than most people think.

People with depression don't see it like this at all, and they never will.

Let's think about life.

Break down your daily life to it's most simple thing. Life is a cycle, every day we do the same things, though details and little things change, it's pretty much the same. Yes, there is occasional events that happen, good and bad. Sometimes people kill themselves because they are tired of being "caught in this cycle".

Depression isn't something that comes and goes like a simple head cold. It's a disease that will always be with you, unless you can stop it right at the beginning.
Depression also isn't just being sad because of bullying or something else, it's constantly thinking about the bad things in life, constantly having the thought to end your life and constantly feeling upset. Fatigue, getting sick and being tired all the time goes with depression too.

People without depression don't understand it at all. It's like you've been trapped in your mind and you don't see the world like you did. My stepfather felt that way, I could see it too. Whenever we did the things he enjoyed the most, he wasn't as energetic as he was before. He ended his life, and now I understand what he felt like.
It's taken me a while, but I get it now.

Suicide isn't something that you can really talk someone out of. Trust me, I tried.
It's something that we have to push others minds away from. Talking about it doesn't help, talking about the good in life does.

Good post, CoffeeCow!

I really like the way you have explained this.

We don't tolerate bullying on the DSGHQ. If you're being bullied here, mail a member of staff with a screenshot immediately so the situation can be sorted sooner rather than later.

This reminds me of a user on the other website I moderate. He's only 14 and very mature. I think he's having some struggles in the real world, which causes him to snap easily online. Often he'll cuss just about everyone off which will result in him being banned. Then he'll start threatening to commit suicide, and he gets unbanned. It seemed unfair to me that someone who MAY be suicidal gets so much slack for cussing out everyone, but human life is pretty important. I'm conflicted on this.
