Why are so many people depressed and suicidal these days?

...... if some one lies to you so much causing you depression and grief... Take "THEM" out!
Tsss.
Because the rest of the world is petty, greedy, ignorant and homicidal.
@SW-User I was born with osteoporosis but not diagnosed until age 47. They cannot do surgery for me because my bones will not heal at all. And the world has only shown me indifference and hate because of my weakness and deformity. All I can do is wait for death or bring it on myself- there will be no miracle that will make this world hospitable for me.
@EpluribusUnum That would be the surface story but if the surface was to be scratched there will be discovered a huge history of damages with little or no healing. I doubt very much that anyone but myself would have lived as long as I have with even half of what I was born into. And only the bible has been of any help. People ALWAYS make life worse and harder for me.
@Anonymartyr I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I cant even come close to imagine what that's like. I'm sure frustration plays a big part in your mobility and can make you and people around you developed a bad temper causing some hate and lashing out with hurtful words. There has to be something to be grateful for in life. Everyone has something we look to to keep our sanity. Is there one part of the day you actually enjoy? I'm not being judgmental in any means,just want to understand what you go through

Some people actually have hard lives. It’s hard for them to be happy. Some people make their life worse than it actually is, they dwell on small things and make themselves unhappy. I have a feeling that some people like to be that way, miserable and depressed.
@EpluribusUnum Perhaps what they need is to be allowed happiness ON THEIR OWN TERMS instead of having to be hated for being different. North Americans hate me universally because I am visibly crippled and was never part of a family (dictionaries aside, I do not understand what family is or why it is so important). Perhaps if it wasn't so hard to find even one person who still had the ability to love anyone besides themselves?
@Anonymartyr I really dont think you're hated for the way you look and you shouldnt believe that. It's probably that inability to know what you go through in life and dont know how to react.
No point in talking with someone who doesn't want to listen. It is the new human nature to hate what is different and it is impossible for me to be otherwise.
We respond in all kinds of ways, we have all kinds of experiences and one of the biggest challenges for most people in this life is finding inner peace

Social media, peer pressure explosion together with instant gratification, celebrity lifestyle culture hasnt helped. Also in the UK, the have and the have not divide has impacted. Austerity and housing crisis has led to young middle earners not being able to establish. Availability of high potent weed hasnt helped. Our drugs war is lost and the time has come to halt misuse, control supply and legalise
@Braveheart those are disturbing issues. None are good reasons for suicide

@EpluribusUnum disturbing - yes. Just an opinion based on what people talk about. So many great expectations pumped out 24/7 by social media broadcasters. Lot of young people feel overwhelmed to have it all at a young age, the pressure to succeed and conform is in your face all day long. When I grew up it was so much simpler. I do feel for kids growing up.

@YukikoAmagi what does that mean?
@EpluribusUnum [c=#359E00]because they literally can't do anything except drowned in miserable feelings and frustration so they are depressed and want to end their life. If they can do anything they could/should do it to make their life better[/c]
