As for how the injury happened, his doctors still don’t know. “The mechanism is unclear,” they wrote. However, they noted he had a history of depression.
Wild speculation ofc, but imagine trying to kill yourself, you build up the courage to stab a knife into your brain through your eye and then you just fucking live with minimal complications beside a missing eye. What the fuck is that?
If it was self-inflicted, I can’t even imagine what he is going through that he chose the method of stabbing himself in the head. I hope he gets better.
It’s a bit of a case by case thing. Something similar (near death experience) didn’t cure my depression, but the newfound nihliphobia definitely diverted my suicidal ideation. Now I just have an existential panic attack whenever I think about death or time too much. 👍
I had a moderate depressive episode due to health issues, couldn’t do shit, basically chair-ridden (like bedridden, but at least I could sit). If my health had gotten any worse, like from a failed suicide attempt, I only would have wanted to die more.

I know along with that speculation, imagine the feeling of not even getting that right.
Plenty of people are depressed because of the rest of you, not because they’re a fuckup.

Iirc there were also incidents where taking out a chunk of brain cured a mental malady. So the dude could’ve had his depression gone after this.
Brb… Grabbing a knife for some self care.
Hey, if it goes well… report back and lmk exactly what angle you did it at. I’ll then make a calculated attempt to replicate your success
A rare few cases accidentally “cured” the cancer they were suicidal over with a gun.
I’ve got to note the success rate ain’t very high, but that was probably already obvious anyway

If your speculation is accurate, then that’s one big ass fucking sign to live. Or at least that’s how I would take it.
Depression doesn’t work that way, unfortunately. I hope this guy gets some support.
