Would that tally with my suggestion/suspicion that some learned people struggle with the nastiness and futility o much of the worlds modern issues and some commit suicide because of some despair and some cos of arrogance?
no
Arrogance is a strange one Kev.
Your inability to smile. I thought maybe youād got a puc in the mouth in peters or possibly during your illustrious gaa career.
Nothing like a bit of cyber bullying to raise the spirits after a gloomy few days.
Ah sure why not. He appears to be the only user to never suffer any kind of mental illness.
Ergo, heās different.
Get him!
Iāve a lovely smile and I use it on occasion. :mad:
Just read through the last 7 or so pages of this thread. I was impressed by the mature debate of the forum. Then @Bandage waded in with his size 16 forehead and everything went down hill.
Iād be prone to feeling a bit depressed and went through a period of a few months a few years back where I was properly depressed. I should have gone to a doctor or counselling but didnāt recognise it at the time. I eventually came around out of it just by having a good time with friends for a while. In hindsight I see now that I should have done something to snap out of it sooner and am more aware now of not letting myself feel too down in the dumps. I have never contemplated suicide though so I canāt be that bad.
Having seen the lives of a family very close to me completely ruined forever by a suicide, I find it very difficult to consider that personās actions not to be selfish.
Around 3 years ago I seriously thought about it so much so that I walked out to the stables with a rope one night. I stood there and weighed up the options and decided Iād way too much to lose in terms of friends family and a potential career. I was unemployed at the time and was getting shit breaks. I was also bitter about a few things. Thankfully I turned a corner and things have been great since. Iāve only talked to one person about that night since and itās somewhere I never want to be again. Sure, Iāve bad days/weeks but I now talk about them and realise that Iāve been dealt a great hand in life and that things happen for a reason. In a way I think that night made me. As in it made realise my potential and that Iād a lot going for me.
Fucking hell. No idea what to say to that. Fair play for saying it anyway.
Had been contemplating it for a while since the thread was set up. Fuck it, a few people know me here or of me. Itās taken me three years to speak up. I think more my own pride due to the stigma attached and the fact Iām now comfortable talking about it due to my outlook in life.
Well done man.
Fair play pal. Life is fucking tough, tougher for some over others but thereās lots to live for. Behind a moniker or not, just letting other people know that others are out there suffering and coming through it is great. Youāre alright for cunt 
Thatās a seriously good post.
Had you drink in you at the time?
Would drink or drinking to excess be a factor in anyoneās depression here? Not talking about the hangover depression but the deep rooted dangerous stuff that might come from drinking too much over a period of years.
I know I spend most of the time taking the piss on here, even at inappropriate times (sorry @glasagusban), but itās pretty cool that we have almost have a community here now that looks out for each other. None of us cunts are alone. Itās a very good thing.
