I have arguments with my parents some years back and suicide came on my mind thrice. But hey, I'm not stupid to waste my life... I'm not even sure that there is life after death. Plus I'll be missing a lot of animes after that... hehehe. Plus, I've never had as girlfriend yet. And I want to have a child, be a father.. and be the best that I can be in the future.
What would have happen to the people that I would have help if I died, it''ll just add up to my guilt.. Suicide is for people who are too weak to face the truth. As if they're the most unlucky person in the world... |

Hmm...the first sign would be an increase in number of times you think about it. Ok, it came to you, once or twice, you took it as a joke, but a third time is starting to become a problem. You can't just ignore it anymore and think it's a joke then force yourself to stop there, if you can, good, if not, then do what TRL said, ask for help. But the idea that even the slightest hint is a problem is an exaggeration IMO.

Suicidal thoughts isn't serious if you actually stop paying attention to how tough it is and start focusing on the problems.
Had plenty of those back in school when I was a bully victim. It went out of hand when I went to see a counsellor, after some discussion that pinned down the real "problems", it became "homicidal" thoughts. Biology textbooks taught me that kidneys are the collection of major blood vessels other than the heart, so sometimes I see that bully's back turned, I have this urge to just stab him in the kidney and let him bleed to death. I am glad that I have friends outside of school who are equally outcasted, they are a source of companionship when my dad lost his job after his company got taken over and my mum wasn't specialised to do anything - the two just vented their spleen at me since my grades went from top 10 to subpar due to bullying and having Mussolini's incarnate as my principal (fat, facist and FUBAR). Having friends do help. Just look for them. They are somewhere out there.

Actually kinda. An otaku psychologist I once spoke to suggested that the lolita complex stemmed from the lack of affirmative female interaction during the mentality development years in middle/high school. Their minds just get stuck that lolis are the best kind of girls because they are cute and want nothing more than that kind if innocence.
And no, I am not a lolicon - I just have the big-brother protector's complex (aniki hogosha). Besides, I appreciate bishoujos too. Quote:

But how can we change people thinking that they are alone? Most of the bully victim or depressed people doesnt blend well with people. What i notice is, when you start going melancholic, well you are in your own world. |

You are overgeneralising it. The term "lolicon" is a cliche, possibly a misnomer. There are pedophiles, sure, but not all the people who like young girls are them. The general term for these people are lolicons, but it has been taken out of context and had become synonymous in usage, which it isn't supposed to be.

I don't know, having mixed with people who actually suffer from depression, I find that these people have this loop which they find themselves trapped in. To make things worse, borderline-depressed people are taught not to associate themselves with depressed people so as not to make themselves depressed. That is delusional. The only way out of depression is to understand it, not to dissociate oneself from it. Speaking to people with similar circumstances, or have suffered such episodes before, is a good way out because it pools heads together to find a way out. Of course, there are some who need that regimented and harsh push to snap out of it - hence the existence of organisations such as the French Foreign Legion. Quote:
It worked for me. To be serious, I think that the basic premises of depression from bullying comes from three things : 1. The perception that he/she is unable to defend him/herself (really? A pen is mightier than a sword! Go for the kidney!) 2. The lack of support (you don't really need any when you need to kill someone. Need petrol for your molotov? Go steal it from the nearest carpark!) 3. The lack of engagement to bring forth understanding (the value of human life is arbitary. How much value you give the person, is how much that person is worth. Who cares about the values other people give?) Overall, it still boils down to decisiveness. Society ritually exploits the indecisive to its advantage - there are no hands to help in especially fast paced ones because there is no time for the wannabe helpers to even make the decision to help. However, I would definitely attest to this : if you can survive the extreme of depression (which I would say "end-stage", the planning of suicide/homicide has taken place), you will be incredibly strong mentally as compared to those who have bullied or forsaken you - it is the same as cheating death and for the rest of your life, you will never fear it as much again.

I mean soft bully like poke or small insult and you do it with friendly smile. basically attract their attentions. Then try talk to him/her. usually the reason why they are lonely is lack of communication. talk about hobby/favorite subject to make him happy. ask help if needed after that i just observer him/her from far to see the progress. if the problem persistent. do some background check well this what i do when i am in school

But well, it's not that easy. Usually depressed people have AT Field around them and prefer that they are being left alone. So yeah, it's more trial and error if we wanna to approach people like that... |

Well, since we're talking about sadness and pessimism.. When I was much younger I was very rage-filled and angsty (like any other teenager) and railed at the inherent unfairness in life. I was bullied and then bullied others in turn. You get older though and attain a broader perspective. The world is a BIG place and things are so much more complicated and interconnected, even in subtle ways, than most people notice at first. You see private jets and million dollar transactions. You see people living in desperate poverty just a short distance from glamorous vacation spots. The beauty and simplicity of a cool spring breeze and the wafting scent of flowers and falling leaves and cherry blossoms. So life is a mixed bag. I remember just 2-3 years ago my fiance and I were sitting out in a courtyard having brunch and I was feeling a tad melancholy and she turned to me, looked me in the face and said: "..Your eyes look like the world is not enough." I immediately perked up and gave her a giant smile. I like being cool, y'know. Outlook remains uncertain |

My depression basically come from my personality really. I am easily confuse and panicking even if it just small stuff like losing my watch. But at same time I can handle that stuff really well and still enjoy my life. It just conflict between "positive me" and "Negative me" that cause the problem

He just refuse to leave me alone that day and just beat the crap out of me, broke my glasses and kept shouting and shaking me by the collar until I bruised his ribs with a kick. It is the same for all of them : they are trapped in a psychological loop that will need some hard knock to break them out of it. Quote:
"You are a dragon year baby who made it through GEP*! Why don't you use that fucking head of yours and start fighting back?" Sometimes, it is all these flowery phrases that give us the meaning we are looking for in life. It never ceases to amuse me how corny they can be to most and gratifying to the certain few who need that particular piece of puzzle in their life. * - Gifted Education Programme. Just another elitist series to tests administrated by our overrated education system to sieve the "brightest" from the "normal" kids. Eventually it was scrapped when they realised that intelligence is worthless when the kids are not taught how to use it. And they don't want to teach the kids how to use their heads because it will lead to civil strife - ever wondered why critical thinking is lacking in the education system?

My father noticed some time ago that I'm a pessimist. He became worried so he wanted to help. Since we live in different towns he sent me an encouraging mail with advice on how to keep myself optimistic. One of them was: "Don't talk with pessimistic people. They absorb all your energy. Talking to them is like shooting yourself in the foot." Whatever effect the previous advice had, it all disappeared right there. Right, so I'm supposed to make more friends, but then again I'm shooting them in the foot? Ain't I a great friend At the time it annoyed me, now I find it funny

Optimists are just of delusional self-gratifying dipshits who put blankets over their heads and tell themselves that the world is okay - religious practioners of the mantra "ignorance is bliss". Unfortunately they make up the majority of the world population so we can't just put them all to the gas chamber. I am a pragmatist; used to be a pessimist but I decided to just set goals and push forward. That "do your best and prepare for the worst" mentality had me marked as a pessimist many times, but it has been ridiculously effective because the preparation for the worst always gave me a backup plan or two.

A way(or rather my way)to take your mind off depressing thoughts or stop being an emo bitch is to go to an open place in the night, look at sky and ask yourself this - Wtf is the point of my life? I'm an insignificant being living on this insignificant planet, which revolves round an insignificant star, which is part of an insigficant galaxy. No one gives a damn if the earth vanished this moment.
When I think like that, my problems seem so petty that I feel stupid for brooding over them. Of course this could also result in one getting even more depressed, in which case I am not responsible for any collatral damage caused because of this advise.
