I wonder if todays forumites had lived 30/40 years ago, in the times that were. Mortgages @18% Chronic unemployment and despite the adverse contagion, massive inflation.
The Dunlop disater in Cork, Ferenka and the rest, job losses on a grand scaleâŚ
The underlying point here is the fact that many have got/or will get it all too soft. Free education (sic), Grant aided College placings, Hole, Dole and Porter (borrowed). Available has become Must have.
The whole thing saddens me, of course, to a great degree. Despite what many may think, times and things were much tougher 40 years ago and the cossetting of our future generations has left them pansies for the times
From my opinion, the youth/20âs of today have had it all too handy. Boom times, never ending joyous lifestyles.

What a load of utter bollix. You are exactly one of ye reasons some of these people feel they canât talk to people. Idiots like you help create it.
(Young) People have different issues these days, some of which you clearly have no idea about. The Leaving Cert for one is now an absolute monster of an issue.
Your generation has a lot to answer for in relation to the pandering to the Catholic Church, Fianna FĂĄil etc etc and letting our country go to the dogs more than once. So Iâd leave the sermons to the raping priests ye supported.
Well said Kev. The shame culture spearheaded by the Catholic Church meant talking about anything was impossible. Even mentioning suicide in anyway was impossible. And the old generations did nothing but kowtow to the church.

That would be a nice effort on practically any other thread that exists on here, but not this one. You can do better a chara.
Bit harsh on Boxty there. He said nothing about the church. Hindsight is great but there is something in what he says. How do modern suicide rates compare with the good old days?
Suffered with depression for close to the entirety of my life - ultimately the only option you have is to willingly seek professional help, and almost certainly take medication along with it. Nothing else will work. Far better off now than ever before.
Itâs bollixology. Times are different, problems are different, but no less challenging. There are many things I wished we kept the old ways, but thatâs not the way the world has ever worked.
Itâs a lazy opinion and pretty uneducated if he thinks mental hardship doesnât rival physical.
Probably a big help. Iâd say thereâs an amount of cases out there of people who went through with it while drunk, who if they had been sober would have taken those extra few minutes that you did.
Yea I agree. But to be honest where I was back then, Iâd have got so drunk iâd have passed out. Drink masked a lot of things and helped me forget about the shit but it was a slippery slope, drinking and acting the cunt and not worrying bout my actions. I used to worry a lot about what people thought of me but I now donât give a shit and Iâm much happier. I am who I am
Are there any stats available from inquests as to how many suicide victims have either alcohol or drugs in their system at the point they actually kill themselves?
[quote=âglasagusban, post: 851594, member: 1533â]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.
Iâd 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 didnât 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 canât be that bad.[/quote]
