TextYeah right.. nice disclaimer. Depression CAN'T always be cured.. and sometimes people are not even aware they have it.. it also makes matters worse when some people, in there ignorance, go around telling them to just 'get over it'. Please educate yourself.. my neice commited suicide last year and she wasn't a loser.. she had shyzophrenia [sp] and couldn't cope with it anymore.. she didn't do it on a whim.

i apologise riley,
yes i actually have been rather insensetive with my post....what i actually really should have said that i was annoyed with people over dramatising a situation and using the 'im gonna kill myself' line for attention and effect...i do appear rather cruel with the way ive posted.
Ive lived with a person whos suffers from depression terribly for a long time...ive seen it in all its ugly disguises and yet the person to which i refer has never thrown the towel in and has strived for years to beat it back....its worked and they are now enjoying a great life.
it just frustrates me that some people seem to lack that inner spirit of the lust for life....i want to shake them and let them see what they personally can change.
maybe people are just not quite as resillient as they used to be and thats a terrible shame.
im so sorry to hear of your loss-i should have kept this rant to myself....please accept my apologies.....again.....i should have engaged brain before mouth.
