    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.

        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.
