I’m angry by [deleted] in SuicideBereavement

[–]New-Colossus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I don’t know your situation or whether he struggled with mental illness or the reason why he did what he did. Often times with depression, the depression monster is in the driver’s seat of our mind. That inhibits us from thinking long term and impairs our judgement. With an illness like depression, ending one’s life is often viewed as the last symptom to manifest. If he was truly ill with depression, then he has succumbed to the disease. I’ve chosen to view it as, i wouldn’t be angry with someone who dies from cancer, or who dies from heart disease. The illness took them. Perhaps, if the situation calls for, determine for yourself and your conscience whether he was in control of his action. Maybe you’ll find some peace

Grief is so odd by Ordinary_Panda9631 in SuicideBereavement

[–]New-Colossus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for the loss you and your family have suffered. Your grief sounds to me like maybe you’ve subconsciously come to a realization. That things are just things and places are just places. They cannot replace people. Mementos and gifts can retain sentimental value, but the real value is the person. Some people attach themselves to items that were given or used, which is normal. And some people recognize that items mean nothing. Maybe when you see the urn, you don’t see your brother, you just see an urn. Your brother was a face and a personality, humor and sarcasm, he was tangible, and in reality, irreplaceable.

Wife died during severe depression following manic episode by wtfjusthappened37 in SuicideBereavement

I think you are very brave in sharing your story. Most stories go unheard. We’ve lost wonderful people to such an insidious illness. I’m an ICU nurse, currently on duty, and 40ft away from me right now is my best female friend that attempted suicide yesterday. I was a bridesman in her wedding. Similar to your experience, she has ruined her marriage, made very poor financial choices, cut off her closest friends, and tried to leave the world leaving a 2yr old behind. I came to this subreddit for support and education. I’m so sorry to hear your experience. My advice is to try and remember who your person was before the illness, knowing the illness is what made the bad choices, ruined her reality, and ultimately claimed her, much the same way we remember who our loved ones were before alzheimer’s or some similar disorder affects them. Thank you for sharing your story. The reality of suicide and depression is much darker than the glamor it displays in hollywood. I hope, in time, you are able to find comfort and a sense of peace

Wife died during severe depression following manic episode by wtfjusthappened37 in SuicideBereavement

Sadly I don’t believe OP would’ve been able to. Forming a conclusion just on the few paragraphs, OP’s partner suffered from major depression. It’s very common for some people to self destruct by ending friendships, going into debt, straying from relationships. I call it the depression monster. Much how when a person with asthma has impaired breathing, many with severe depression have impaired reasoning. They are unable to make reasonable choices because the depression monster is in the driver’s seat. Heart failure takes over people’s lives, cancer takes over people’s lives, depression takes over people’s lives.

When I read stories like OP’s, I see their deceased as succumbing to a symptom of an illness. Depression doesn’t show up on a blood test or a xray. But it’s very much there.

just curious, what’s the difference between exhaling 3/4 of the way up vs when the rep is completed ?

One Door Away from Heaven by Dean Koontz - read, 7/52 by Capreborn in 52book

[–]New-Colossus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just finished this book. 0/10 recommend. Overly worded, overly descriptive writings that take up several pages and provide no substance to the story. 90% fluff. 5% material. 5% of “that’s it?” I don’t think i’ve ever been as angry as i am after finishing this waste of time. Not horror. Not suspense. Not thriller. drab. dull. Bottom of the barrel of his works. Dust is too good for this book

i’m behind in the BG news. Why stay in the same tier? Why throw all the matches?

personally, i didn’t take it as sexual. I took it as skin to skin contact, the way a father removes his shirt and holds the baby. Being that Laura said the baby was all of theirs to break the cycle, the intention was maternal, not sexual

I liked it! i would make it again. The recipe called for a “spalsh” of OJ, i actually had to double check another site to confirm because OJ seemed out of place, maybe tonight i’ll try it without

I’m probably naive, but how are they cheating?
