How Often Have You Already Thought In Suicid?

Yes, I've suffered from depression before, and know how dark and isolating it can be... so I too am glad that you're well past that LuvAmy, well done In my case, I have to constantly be vigilant and self-regulate my own mood, because I've discovered that I'm one of those people who's more likely than most to slip into depression... I just don't cope well with disappointment or difficult circumstances... but I address the problem by disciplining myself mentally, and always focusing on the important things in life... like gorgeous shemales lol Basically, I'm trying to say that a person can determine their own state of mind, and thereby stop themselves from slipping into a depressive mental state.... to a greater or lesser extent. The power of positive thinking, and all that stuff.

As a member of the queer/trans community, I can say that I've been suicidal in the past. And to be honest, I'll probably be suicidal in the future. It's a part of me that I've slowly learned to live with. I suffer from major depression that comes and goes; right now I'm on meds and fairly stable. But I know what it's like when life is so dark that death seems to be the only viable solution, and I know what it's like to carry a lot of repressed self-loathing. When I drink, it tends to come out moreso. I've had weeks on end where, despite a sunny and beautiful day, I can't get the thought of dying out of my head. Things like running your car into a tree at high speed suddenly become very attractive.
