re: Aggie professor jumps to his death from campus parking garage

I'm fairly sure 2 suicides from a single parking garage per year is higher than average for parking garages.


Don't think this happens, don't think this is accurate

Agreed. We need more psychotherapists, more access to care, and a LOT fewer people creating a stigma about mental health problems.

Case in point, saying things like "get the frick over it" and calling depressed people "pussies", etc.

sometimes a person faces a deadly disease or has chronic pain and the stress gets to them...it isnt always about relationships entirely. wish his family the best.

Until you've experienced serious depression it's impossible to understand what it's like. I've struggled with clinical depression and anxiety disorder off and on and hit a really low spot in my late 20s. I was able to keep it pretty well hidden but there were quite a few mornings that I struggled just to get out of bed. It was the single most unpleasant thing I've ever experienced. It's also amazing some of the irrational thoughts that go through your head when you're in that state of mind.
Intense anxiety is another factor that often goes with depression that makes it much worse. It isn't simply feeling sad. Everyone feels that way sometimes. It's the feelings of hopelessness and impending doom related to depression/anxiety that people don't understand that makes it such a debilitating mental disorder.

Holy shite.

Wow.

Damn

I was admittedly rustled because I was thinking who the frick would bump this.... Never would have suspected this.

Ho-Lee Sheeot.

Wow. The world sucks.
