…depression/severe anxiety isn’t something that makes sense any more than other illnesses…some reports are saying that he suffered depression/anxiety for a few years and some are saying many years…but for however long, he obviously felt overwhelmed to the point of taking his own life…it’s very, very sad…

I have fought against those very things since I was a teenager .. thankfully despite having many dark thoughts over the decades.. I never acted on them and they passed relatively fast .

Its so difficult to avoid feeling like this and real sad thing is that you get used to the dark times and they become the norm .

…I’m so sorry what your own experience has been in terms of darker times but I’m glad that you’ve felt those times to have felt brief and you’ve experienced a balance of brightness again….…I think thats one of the things as well, when those times don’t feel ‘relatively fast’ and when someone feels as though they’re sinking and sinking and aren’t able to grip onto anything…and as you say, for some those feelings are difficult/impossible to avoid…and sadly, any type of coping skills are difficult/impossible to see or feel in those times as well…
