can't help but wonder if something else happened in this girl's life that everyone is unaware of.




chronic depression and suicide doesn't necessarily happen because of "something" happening specific. a lot of people going through depression just feel helpless about themselves in general really. Particular negative "things" that happen to them just adds on to that feeling of worthlessness and builds up to a point where being happy again seems unreachable.

It's also a lack of serotonin in the brain, which is basically all happiness is really when broken down scientifically. That's where the mental health issue come into aspect. Most people are able to level out the good with the bad. a person's brain with chronic depression, it's thought by some at least, is perhaps unable to release the correct amounts of serotonin.


I don't know. Every person is different really. That's why it is impossible to narrow down what causes suicide in every case. There is way more to it than I said as well. I couldn't tell you specific, solid reason why my dad did what he did.



edit: yea sorry if that's super personal ha

For those people that know Bear, the man who the orginal story is about, he has an incredible brothers and parents that he was extremely close with (Bear's pastime was dancing with his mom at formal events), legitimately everyone who knows him thinks highly of him due to how upbeat and positive he was and had a ton of great friends and he did well in school/extracurriculars. If you put his life on paper to an outside observer, he did life right and he had good positive pieces surrounding him.


The point is, people have demons that are not specific and almost impossible to cure, even if you go through intense therapy. Even therapy, as poionted out, is expensive and often times not covered
