 | I think when a life ends in the manner that his did it should be ruled not as self inflected, but caused by a long term illness. I suffer from depression and once stuck the barrel of a gun in my mouth, I was 18 and crying so bad it was hard to focus on the trigger. I of course did not pull it. But I have come close a few more times over the years, my wife knows that when I stop talking about my feelings, its time to worry. A self inflected loss due to depression is not self inflected, it is death due to long term illness, I relate it to what I have been told fighting cancer is like, and I did a video of a cancer victim from start to finish. Robin died of the effects of a long term illness that many are infected with. |

I have 'attempted' many times myself. Its a vicious disease and yet so misunderstood. I have often wished I had cancer instead of depression (bipolar disorder) because people normally do not think you are faking, starved for attention or simply pathetic. Whereas with mental illness I have been told to just snap out of it, watch a funny movie or exercise more. (Etc...) Leave a Reply. |
