Bipolar

I agree, Prometheus, that it is a choice between the lesser of two evils, and it is a choice that only you can make since it's your body.

...His lifespan can be shortened even more by turning manic and playing violin on his wrists with a razor.

Hmm, not sure we ought to be giving out methodology or ideas or anything....

If I was doing that, I'd be far more inventive and provide a means with higher success rate. Wrists and razors are pretty much a generic example when it comes tu suicide.

Forgive me if I seemed edgy. I have extensive, personal experience with bipolar disorder in my family, I have personal past experience with a specific form of very strong depression, and suicide's a topic I've had experience with as well among people I've been close with. It wasn't you I was directing my comment at, so much; I just felt uneasy seeing it mentioned in a thread on depression, I suppose. Carry on, I'll back away.

If you wanted me (generally speaking) to lay off suicide in this thread for good and valid personal reasons, you could have just... Asked. I would have faded to gray without much - if any - protest.

I do, however, contest that, with which I disagree.

Thanks, Asmo.

Faded to gray with very little protest? Well, of course! You are gray! And lumpy! Wonderfully so.
