I agree so much with what you said. If I were strong enough I would be dealing with this depression. If I were stronger I wouldn't be thinking of suicide daily. Depression is a sign of strength is a crock of ****.
People are programmed to say certain things in certain situations. They are programmed to tell you suicide is bad and selfish. In reality it is not 1 size fits all. I whole heartedly believe that suicide shpuld be a last resort once everything else has failed. Calling some stupid hotline won't tell you that.
