Going to therapy is a nice way to be labeled as a nutjob for life

really?  I bet they also make fun of people with brown hair in your country.

not where I live.  i know lots of people that have gone to therapy, heck I know people that have been in a mental hospital due to mental disease and nobody calls them nut jobs.

except when i lived in the south, if you saw a therapist, then the horror, you were crazy.  what can i say some people over there are weird.

The real nutjob's probably went to some therapy and told everyone to F themselves. Why do you need to tell anybody that you are in therapy? Discuss things with the therapist, not everyone else...Even if your company insurance was paying for it, none of your co-workers would know.

Labeled as a nutjob, or an actual nutjob...

My Dad was in a looney bin and I went to visit it was like "One Flew over the cuckoos nest" 

The people who worked there acted like the nutters, you could not tell the difference

Join The GFC we have therapy sessions all the time usually involving abusive word therapy

Pipz murdered a dancing bear with a rubber weapon of some description, he said he felt endangered because he does not have the ability to dance in any way or form

The above bear issue was resolved in The GFC discussion group, but we have not begun the process of Pipz showing any remorse for his actions and lack of empathy for the bear community as a whole

ps Each session is priced on a sliding scale, the first 15 minutes is free but we will need your credit cards details before assessment can take place

One of the major causes of suicides is the common belief that angst and mental breakdowns are signs of weakness and personal failure. The fact is that these conditions are the result of having been strong for too long.

to the people here who obviously don't have any idea what they are talking about...

count your blessings and kindly shut up.

Ok I've read through this thread. And it is a serious issue.

But since I was a paramedic for 14 years I see the dark humor here. I have to confess I laughed pretty hard when I read Zacks post.

Life and death....wow what a topic. Sometimes these things reach out and smack you in the head. I can tell you that when faced with death and then acceptance of the fact....some things take a weird turn.

Many people deal with this in different ways. Humor is one of them. Its not always necessary to take "drugs". Sometimes a good laugh..even if its "politically incorrect" can give much needed perspective.

You just said a mouthful.

Agreed 100%

As angry as Zack's post may make some, due to their feelings about someone close to them taking their own life, it completely proves my point about suicide being selfish. It may, perhaps, permanently "fix" a temporarily troubled time in someone's life, while terribly affecting those that care about them for the rest of their lives. 

Funerals and grieving aren't for the benefit of the dead, they are for the living.

I apologize for any offense caused

Of course I have no idea about this specific case. But in general, any cumulation of suicides in a given area can in turn trigger other sucides, in some cases even showning some 'epidemic' like qualities. This is especially true in young people, which are quick at following the 'example' of their peers.
That's  one reason why the media here is very reluctant in publishing anything about juvenile suicide cases.

I don't understand the logic, or perhaps the lack thereof.

How does it ever make sense to off one's self to fix life's problems.

Always seemed the selfish way out.  Perhaps ONE person's issues wouldn't have to be dealt with, but it creates a whole LOT of problems for those around you that you won't have to worry about when you are gone...

I've been in that place before. And the above is the reason why I could never have done it. While no one really depended on me at the time I knew that there were many who loved me and would be devastated by losing me (even if it didn't seem like it at the time). I couldn't do that to them. Unfortunately my cousin didn't see things the same way.

And ****, I wanna see what happens to the world. Things might suck right now for a lot of people but we are still moving forward as a race. I wanna see the next battery tech. I wanna see painted solar panels. I wanna see a man on Mars. And I wanna ride my motorcycle. 

No matter how bad things are, just know they could be worse. And know that the future is always worth seeing.
