Well if nothing bad happened then sorta a success?

@BakedBeans  
It doesn’t work. I chewed on the noose for hours and nothing happened.

@Background Pony #EB02  
You’ll never know unless you try  
Disclaimer: don’t actually try

Yessssss!

@íaqwsy  
No, you don’t.
 
 
@Background Pony #B4CA  
No. No it doesn’t.
 
 
Both of you guys should talk to some friends and family about it and try to get through it.

but does it work?

I want to use that

@xRei  
Heh. You’re welcome, and I hope things turn around for you. You’ve probably heard it all, but remember the one thing that’s constant is change, so things that suck also pass. Hope is the antithesis of depression, and it’s simply choosing to think that things will eventually, somehow, get better, even if you don’t think or see how that’s possible.
 
 
@Scrounge  
Most things are. But it’s something to keep in mind. Also voice chat isn’t as good as company but it’s better than text and text is better than nothing.

@Cirrus Light  

 
For some of us that’s easier said than done, though.

@Cirrus Light  
In any event, I don’t want to spam comments on pictures with this kind of talk. No one wants to see that.
 
Thank you for your thoughts though.

@xRei  
I know. I’ve even been there. Not even as distant from it now as I’d like to be.
 
But it helps. A lot. I think part of the issue is if you’re only doing it for the purpose of fighting depression, because then doing it reminds you you’re depressed. I think it helps a lot more to be genuinely lost in or focused on your work and just being into it.
 
But I’d rather say something hopeful and potentially helpful than nothing at all.
 

 
A pencil or a laptop doesn’t make writing an essay easy, but it does make it possible.

@Cirrus Light  
If mundane positivism was all it took to keep people from being suicidal then I doubt there would be very many suicides.
 
The problem with the suicidal mind is that it can’t hold onto those positive and good feelings you suggest. It grabs hold of the negative feelings instead.
 
Besides, I draw art and write and do other things all the time. It’s not a magical panacea that fixes everything.

@xRei  
Focus on the things you love/like/look forward to.
 
It can be as simple as loving the Star Wars franchise - though personally I think it’s best to focus on something creative you like, since you have to wait for Star Wars stuff but if you’re passionate about your own creations then you can use any time available to, say, write.
 
Just an example. You can replace “Star Wars” and “write” with just about anything.
 
Also spend time getting closer to friends. Friendship is Magic, they say.

@Cirrus Light  

 
Wellp there goes that plan.
 
Tosses shotgun over his shoulder

@RunDevilRun007  
Then you leave an absolute hellish nightmare for others. And even guns fail surprisingly often.

@Scrounge  

 
Not if you use a shotgun :)

This is a bad idea.
 
Statistics show that most suicide attempts fail, and instead you get more problems, like brain damage.

She’s feeling a bit torn about the executioner job she picked up. But it pays well with amazing hours, and since it’s a government job it has great benefits.
 
But, it’s a hard job in an obvious way. It’s her job to put the body in the coffin after and send the coffin off, and that can be gross.

@Dirty Bit  
Or to take a third option, she could be planning an execution or two.

Dont do it. It does not fix the problem. It just pass it onto others.

@Cirrus Light
 
Yeah. ||Too bad she’s about to go the way of David Carradine. :U ||

@Dirty Bit  
Well, that’s certainly preferable. Let’s just hope she has a buddy and does it safely.
 
Or at least as safely as you can do something like that. I’ve seen an article where medical experts say it’s like running a car without oil. Very bad. No real way to do it very safely. But it’s better than suicide.
