I'm not saying depression isn't a real disease because it is. There are many people who battle it and find the strength to go on. I have had loved ones and a very dear friend who was like a brother to me take their own life and the damage left behind is also immeasurable. If you're that low, continue to try to get help. It's his wife and loved ones that I would shed the tears for. They are the ones who deserve the tears because they are the ones left behind to wonder what they might have done, even if it's nothing. I am watching some good people battle for each and every day so I just can't work up the tears for someone who saw no way out. Sorry.

Not at all. I never said anything about the logic of the idea, because I know logic isn't in play.

I think depression is a horrible disease that nobody should have to go through. I think suicide is a selfish act. Those two thoughts can co-exist.

While I agree with this generally, I can tell you that failing in my attempts I felt like a bigger coward and I felt more selfish than ever. I felt like I was depriving my wife and my kids of a husband and father that could take care of them the way they deserved. I saw men every day that prima facie did not have the same problems I did, and I knew my wife could find a better man, who would be a better father, and I felt like utter **** for not having the courage to give her that opportunity. I truly felt that my death would be a release for them as much as for me and I felt like a total failure and loser that I couldn't even do that right. It is a selfish act in retrospect, and obviously completely irrational, but at the moment, in the heat of it, it feels like you are giving those you love a blessing, and I never felt more selfish or low or cowardly or bad about myself as after a failed attempt.

but where does poops and fart fit into this story?
 
Does anyone else have fond memories of Fern Gully? I know it isn't a Robin Williams movie per se, but he voiced a major character and it was a favorite of my kids when they were little. And then we moved to Fernley, NV for work and my youngest son was amazed we were going to live in Ferngully.

"You are fart factory, Slug-slimed, sack-of-rat-guts-in-cat-vomit, cheesy, scab-picked, pimple-squeezing finger bandage. A week old maggot burger with everything on it and flies on the side!"

How I loved that movie growing up. :(
