That upsets me. It depends on the situation, but a lot of people go through depression and I feel that reaching out for help during that time should help you not hinder you.

So how do you know someone wasn't really depressed and suicidal and never got help? I just feel that they're punishing the people who do reach out and help themselves.

farmergirl I'm sorry about your sister. And I do see what you're saying. but I'm also imagning myself on the transplant list, or my friend who has OCD of some type... she's only in her low 20's and already her doctors are treating her like she's stuck for the rest of her life and less of a person. and it's just not fair, and it breaks my heart. I makes me afraid of ever being sick because I might not be treated well. My doctor doesn't listen to my physical symptoms because he knows I've been depressed in past... but they're there and my therapist says it's not like depression to have this happen. so I have to find another doctor.

I guess, it's different in each case and I'm scared.
