Depression and suicide

~~Sansa Stark~~ · 04-12-2011, 12:25 PM

Honestly, since I have dealt with and attempted to console a lot of suicidal people (although I am certainly not going to pretend I am a professional), and I don't think it's selfish anymore. Having been there myself, I can sympathise and also know that no one really wants to die, so it should be obvious what they really want is for their pain to stop. If someone is in so much emotional pain that they want to completely end their life, something so precious and short and unpredictable, it's completely understandable.
