As i said before its very easy to give out such statements but very difficult for the person actually going through so much in their life. Its really easy to say not to end your liife over a boyfriend or some issue but the pain and depression that person suffers from, is not something someone else can understand only that person knows what they are suffering from. You come to an stage where you feel numb,your soul dies. You feel nothing and lose your dreams hopes everything. Its never easy to take your life, its takes a lot of guts to do that.

This is a really awful mindset.

I have attempted suicide thrice in my whole life of 19 years, the last attempt was the closest I got to death and trust me when you are in that moment you are not able to think, not able to see a single streak of hope -- you feel helpless, hopeless, completely tired and frustrated along with a lot of other emotions. It is overwhelming and consumes you.

It is just really really easy to say that it makes people 'weak' or not worthy of sympathy.

Our brain is one of the most complicated things in the world. Our brain controls our whole body, that is why when someone is depressed-- their mental peace is ruined-- their whole body stops being healthy too. It is a scary and extremely hurtful thing. It doesn't show like fever or cold but it happens inside of you and breaks you with each moment. Ruins your self esteem and shatters your heart again and again.

Such people need compassion, support and gentleness. Not judgment. I hope you never go through such a stage where you feel depressed but you shouldn't just disregard the ones who suffer and struggle with it everyday.

RIP Pratyusha Banerjee.

Not right.. Suicide does take a lot of courage to execute.. I cant even begin to imagine myself going through something like this because it scares the shit out of me, and that's how I deduce that it takes lots of courage.. And then the thought occurs to me that the thing which pushes a person to go this extreme, to cross the border so fiercely must be so dangerously dark and negative that you're resorting to this last option where life ends, just ends.. The struggle of 24 yrs, the love of family and friends, and above all, the factor - LIFE - seems to be pointless.. This sounds terribly sad ..

I dont know if Pratz committed suicide out of Depression or not, but no, the people who are suicidal out of Depression, does not get affected by another suicide too.. Nothing affects them anymore.. Neither life, nor death.. If death of someone else could make an impact on them, life of someone would do that too..

If you just one min stop thinking about anything else and try to imagine what her last few minutes were like.

I promise you, you won't be making posts like this although for that one needs to have compassion for their fellow humans.

Can you think of sitting somewhere all alone and thinking killing yourself is the only answer to your problems??

I have never been really depressed, sad beyond words, yes, stressed yes but never really depressed so I can't know what's like to be in that situation other than what I read arnd and saw on tv.

But I can tell you this much, something very very powerful must drive someone to take sucha drastic step.

Even if the same thing seem fixable to me and you, in their mind it wasn't, in their mind dying was the only solution.

Very strong emotions and their mind didn't give them any support.

I can't for the life of me think suicide is easy for anyone.

That's why you gotta try to understand what can make anyone take their own life, they not thinking like you and I are.

They thinking differently and probably that's what depression is.

They prisoners of their minds, we all are but not everyone can see the positive in negative situations.

So instead of looking down on them just try to understand their perspective too.

They weren't thinking like you wld in that situation.

You gotta be grateful to god or whatever you blv in for giving you strong mind (if you think they had/have weak mind)

Cuz even then its not something they cld control you know they can't just go to market or doctor to get stronger mind.

As I mentioned I'm someone who's never sad for long period of time, it's not like life doesn't throw shit at me, it does all kinda funny stuff including losing loved ones...i just hate been sad so I do what I can to escape it, and it's not that difficult to to cheer myself up or snap out of whatever thats going on at the time. (Sometimes I'm afraid it might caught up to me)

God has also given the strength if you must say.

And I never ever take credit for that, I always always thank God for it.

Especially when I see how others deal with things.

So please once again just think about what can make another fellow human being to do something that you can't even think about doing.

And you might have these people some compassion.

But if you keep looking things from your perspective then you will find flaws in them and their decision and remember we are all flawed.

I'm in no way saying suicide is ok or its the answer to any problem.

But making such posts isn't gonna help in any way.

What these people need is help from professionals who are trained for this, and the rest of us to be supportive.

to have everyone of us educate themseleves about depression to some extent, so instead of thinking "oh she/he killed themselves for a boyfriend or money"? What a wasteof life.

And looking down on them, cuz that's the last thing that someone dealing with depression needs.

Just try to understand.

Suicide is NOT the answer but what they need is help not judgmens.

May her soul rest in peace.
