"As I said, I'm personally familiar with depression and I've also had thoughts of wanting to end it all. But I stuck it out -- I guess out of sheer stubborness on my part and my personal faith. "

guess what anon? don't assume I dont have personal faith of mine , cause I do, or should I say used. But that's the thing with some people and this illness, it's not just depression , itr's progressive dementia where you forget who you were, you lose your identity and have ***no access*** to all the things - faith etc - that MADE YOU YOU. That's how evil this illness can get with some people. So believe If I was in a better shape like, say a year ago, hell even 2 months ago I wold agree with you, but each day fopr me is continous brain shutdown and regression of my personality and intellect, so no it's not as clear cut as you say, I wasn't even remotely aware that it might affect other people, I was just NOT AWARE of things. that's what this thing has done to my intellect. this thing destroys dignity by taking away your personality so dont, makes u unable to understand the higher meanings

don't assume that every mercury suffering is the same even though it's the same problem. it's not, and I say that not meaning to bellittle anybody's sufefring. It's just how it is , some people get it more , some get it less. Tracy and I happen to have got a lot more of it than (it would seem) an average mercury sufferer, hence constant venting and whining.
so before you go on judging others, just perhaps think that one's level of venting on this board is proportional measurement of their suffering. and that's the only rule that applies here - it's insulting to think we are irresponsible people who are making an excuse out of mercury poisoning. Well, perhaps unless you're severe;y mentallyn ill because of it, and are NOT YOURSELF anymore.

believe me, i'd like to be the one on your side, giving rational advice to others - cause that would be consistant with my real personality. but this illness pushes you over the edge. if u haven't been there- consider yourself lucky.

and get over the Suicide Pact. it was just sharing thoughts. i already regret i wrote it. believe me anon, with this level of toxicity and brain function the last thing you think when writing a post is how that will sound to others. sorry i ever wrote it.
