Why are so many people depressed and suicidal these days?

@Anonymartyr that's no reason to kill themselves. They should take a few with them then.

@EpluribusUnum Then they would be no better than the rest. You assume that there is nothing after this life perhaps they believe there is a better place.

@Anonymartyr There is nothing I can offer you that will change your mind of how you feel.I do hope sometime, while I do understand you have chronic pain, you choose from being angry with people, society. But it's not my place to tell you to pick that

@Anonymartyr you're right.. that is my presumption. You make a good point. But I'm sure that isnt the case for every suicide victim

@EpluribusUnum true of course. Many depressions and even suicidal ones are the direct result of pharmaceuticals being administered too liberally. Those kinds of medications need to be limited down to a last resort status- after all attempts at helping the people socially first have failed.

@Anonymartyr Many depressions and suicides happen after not following medications. I haven't; so far alive but I don't have the idea it doesnt help either

@SW-User They tried me on some medications but in each case I became seriously psychotic- which means that the diagnosis was completely wrong. It was very fortunate that I didn't kill anyone. Only the bible has been able to help me at all, that and avoiding all people entirely. It is hard to be alone all the time, but it is harder still to even tolerate anyone that I meet anywhere. Truly both the world and myself would be better off if I were dead but I am stubborn and after 53 years of nothing better than abuse I still cling to the idea that someday I might experience happiness for the first time in my life. So far everyone robs me of any chance of happiness or contentment.
I have attempted suicide 4 times and was barely revived the last time.

@Anonymartyr I don't imagine that experience, but I do know people schizophrenic and who have had botched back surgery that disables them. I don't know how they live,

@Anonymartyr certainly.. I agree with that. Though many reasons for suicide Im talking about the victims who take their lives because someone has disappointed them with lies or been mislead,bullied,abused and physically hurt and resort to suicide.

@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
