smmath,
Trying to fix the "problem" and proving something like that is not what life is about. Finding new ways to feel bad is not helpfull.

Take for example how a dog can learn helplessness. It's something that we do, it's a cause of depression. It's hard, especially when we learn it and become helpless. It's really sad.

I'm a Pscyhology major, and I read about topics all the time. I like it but, sometimes reading about suicide does trigger me, but I"m sure a lot of people have the same thing, but the real issue is, this is how all of this mental stuff started for me. I read about an attempted suicide, and became suicidal.... I had no idea of what I was feelling, and that's what I came up with, as a reason for what ever I was feeling.

Life's hard, and then try living it with being triggered. I have found drawing helps, and I hope it will help in class too.... **fingers crossed**
