[QUOTE="yankster, post: 652636, member: 4171"] I went through a period of the worst anxiety and depression I've ever experienced after Shannon passed away. The emotional pain of her loss turned into physical pain, nightmares, etc. Any time someone uses the term "selfish" it shows they just don't understand what real depression is like. I thought the same thing about suicide before this experience. I've always been the strong one, Captain Responsible making good decisions, never being unreasonable. But suddenly I had this constant longing to do whatever it took to make the pain go away. All I could think about is how to make it stop. It never entered my mind about how it might affect anyone else, or the damage that may be left behind, I just wanted the pain to stop. And the very worst thing I could have done during this was be by myself. That's why I was at a different event every weekend, traveling, visiting family. I could tell that the pain eased up if I was busy and had good people around me. Two years later I'm not 100% yet and I guess I never will be. I still struggle finding joy in life. Something in my brain changed. If you know someone going through a personal hell, they may tell you they are fine but I promise you that isn't true. Force yourself into their daily personal life and don't leave them to their thoughts. Doing any less than that is certainly a very "selfish" act. [/QUOTE]
