I find the indirect
ad hominums as effective as the direct ones.
I know how people that I know, speak with and spend time with feel because I watch them, listen to what they say and see how they act. If you cannot do this, it is your misfortune and you have my condolences.
Cured my ass, managed MAYBE by SOME people but no one is cured. This proves you have NO idea what the hell your talking about. Wow you had a couple of people you know comit suicide which OVIOUSLY makes you an expert. Forget those who live it, forget those who spend 6 + plus YEARS studying mental illness before they are alowed to treat ANYONE even UNDER supervision. You oviously know it all.
Hey, thanks for your attempt to invalidate my education, professional experience, personal feelings and misfortunes as well as my success in dealing with what can - and often is - a fatal emotional disorder. I wish you the the same luck in dealing with your obvious problem.
You do not know me, you do not know of my education, my experience or what I do - yet you can slam - dunk my life and knowledge with an off-the-cuff
ad hominum insult and figure that you have somehow 'won' something? Bravo there, tough guy, and thanks for the online diagnosis, analysis and prognosis. I guess that since in your opinion I haven't really dealt with my depression that I have to go kill myself now?
Your accuracy is no doubt as tight as your logic. :tongueincheek:
When I threatened suicide to prevent my (military) parents from sending me off to the military academy, my motivation was anger and payback. It was NOT depression. I was NOT depressed - I was furious and determined. Those were my feelings at the time, none of you can change that or make them any different than that because you are not me and you do not control my feelings - period.
Suicide is when you voluntarily kill yourself for whatever reason. Period. You do not get to pick and chose which particular self - killings you will allow to be called suicide by others, that is not within your power or control. You do not get to dictate the reasons for that self killing either, as that also is not under your control or within your power.
You don't have to accept either the suicide or the motivation though, it doesn't make any difference to the dead person.
