I just can't imagine that there's not another solution other than death for anything. You only get to live once. You can spend the rest of eternity dead.
The fact that you can't imagine is indicative of a dearth of understanding those who experience depression. Permanent solution to a temporary problem is the most insulting thing I have ever heard or read.
For everyone:
Really? You think this is temporary? Have you ever dealt with people who through no fault of their own, cannot find a way out? Have you dealt with people who experience recurrent depression regardless of who they talk to or what drugs they take?
I ask these questions literally. If you've never been so destroyed, for so long a time, that you haven't contemplated suicide, then you have absolutely no clue what any of this is like.
That's not to say that you can't discuss suicide, the consequences of it, or the reasons behind it.
