I don't agree with that, how can someone plan thier own death only be moderately depressed?
I mean for instance they make sure no one finds them until its too late. You make it sound like they didn't want to die really if they werent THAT bad.
I disagree strongly.
trust, there are utter idoits in the world
Maybe but not everyone is like that. Maybe its too close a subject for me to be talking about.
people never think that they're not that bad. moderately depressed people see themselves as severely depressed.
but in reality, with the severely depressed people, it's not that they don't want to die, they just don't have the energy or the presence of mind to actually do it.
the greatest risk time for the severely depressed people is when they're starting to get better

If you imagine the mood of someone with depression as a curve then it's at their lowest that they just don't care for anything, they just don't have the resources or energy to contemplate. When their mood starts to better (but is of course still low) then it's when people surrounding them should be most aware about what's going on.
Of course some never get to the point of "that" bad, as they commit suicide before they've reached bottom.
Yeah i know, hard to accept tho when you have lost someone very close to you.
by the way ...even a battery driven watch can ignite petrol.
as for welders ...a good welder will remove the petrol tank not refuse the work. the job is pricier of course cos theres more work.
i find it hard to believe someone would take the petrol out when selling a car. my mind has boggled again.
I don't, i'm not surprised, people can be so tight.
I thought they dispelled this myth on Brainiacs a few weeks back. Got an old caravan and doused it, inside and out, in petrol and then filled it with mobile phones. They then ran the phones and the caravan didn't blow up.
BUT
what they did do was then get a guy in a shell-suit tracksuit to jump up and down for a bit and then touched a fuse wire that ran into the caravan and the static that had built up travelled down the wire and blow the caravan up.
So it's safe to fill you car up and use the phone but don't go anywhere near a petrol station in static building clothes.
Yeah i saw that, was good.
1. A family freind was a train driver who hit a workman on the line who didnt get out of the way when he should have done- the foreman messed up and didnt tell the workers that a train was coming. The driver had to retire after that, and he is still haunted by it, but there was nothing he could do. An emergency stop for a train at 125mph takes 1.5 miles to complete.
2. Kaffrin is right in a lot of ways, the level or two above rock bottom is the most dangerous place for a depressive. People who commit suicide ARE selfish, there no other way of describing it, but to blame them for it is stupid. Its the very nature of the illness that makes the depressed so self-centred- they retreat into themselves and only think of themselves, and how horrible their existence is, no-one else ever enters their mind. It is ungrateful, but I suppose the crux of the point is that it simply isnt their fault.
