The problem is most of those people who push away the ones that are depressed become ignorant to care is because they neither never been through it themselves but change their perspective either experiencing depression themselves or losing another to suicide. even when I’m in my happiest state if I see someone depressed I always want to either give them a hug, a smile or a simple “are you okay” because even if they are close to certain suicide, that reach out gives them one more day to think it over or even second guess suicide.@Gusman @LittleEvilOne

@SW-User That is all anyone can do. Acknowledge them. Listen to them if they want to talk. Never say, "You should do this/do that"

One piece of wisdom I try to impart on those so afflicted is to write down all that is in their heads. Better to get it out.
Once written, do not read it, because that will simply put it back in their head. Throw it away. This can give momentary relief from a mind constantly at war with itself.

@LittleEvilOne Thanx. I have a few things in common with Mr. Crowley. And I even met Ozzy ... twice, no less.
