It is really easy to get depressed. It can all start with a cold...
Anyway, I was content with life and couldn't understand how people could be depressed or suicidal - isn't it great gift that you're just alive? Well, I don't want to go into too much detail cause I still hate thinking about it, but I ended up thinking life was pointless. It's a complete state of mind...you try to forget about it, you try to just talk to people, you try to laugh, but it's always at the back of your mind and I dreaded the times when I would have time to think about it fully because I would feel disconnected with everyone else...not like they weren't there or that they didn't care, it's hard to explain. I would feel unable to talk to them and suddenly would pull out of the conversation, because I thought it was pointless. I loved the few seconds where I would try and make myself laugh at some joke because I wasn't thinking about it. But then it comes back to me that everything's pointless and not really here. When I felt the worst I would shiver and shake because I thought it was pointless to be alive. I would try and think thoughts like "it's great that I'm alive and have my family" I knew that they cared and tried to think good thoughts and try and ignore the bad ones - do you honestly think I wanted to feel like that? But it was impossible, those thoughts were with me from the moment I woke up until I went to sleep. I remember wishing so much that I could go back to being content, but it was impossible and I was like this for a few weeks, while I was actually on holiday.
I've had the desire to die and not feel anymore pain, but it has never gotten to the point where I wanted to physically kill myself. I've had the thoughts. You know, the "just get the knife and slit your wrists" thoughts, but I always remind myself that I'm just tired and/or stressed and just need to relax. Life's too short to make it shorter.
I thought we weren't doing threads like this after the T-Dome fiasco...
