[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16067316, member: 181885"] That is how some "Talks" go sometimes, you and I both know. I'm simply saying that I can empathize with both sides of the situation and it's very hard to describe the mindset to people that haven't experienced such thoughts. I hope I didn't word that poorly and give the wrong impression. There is a lot of truth to that, but I think that's mainly on the anxiety-driven side. There are many factors that contribute to suicidal thoughts and depression. It stems from different pain points. I think you're spot on when it comes to anxiety- it's like throwing people into the middle of the ocean after being shown one video on how to swim. People become overwhelmed, then withdraw, and that vicious cycle begins. Many people who experience suicidal thoughts are not generally anxiety-ridden. For them, life lost its color, flavor, etc. Imagine being in a group of people eating cake, but it tastes bitter to you and nobody else. These can be totally functional people with stable lives. Complacency becomes lethargy and before you know it, they have no enjoyment in life and no desire to continue it. Many many variables and root causes. Unfortunately there is no magic solution to it. I always post this comic up in threads on this topic: [ATTACH=full]1532521[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
