midtowngal As someone who could read masterpieces of Sigmund Freud at a tender age of 15,16 yrs old with solid understandings, I think I have at least some justice to help.

You didn't miss anything. The title of the thread says how terrible this thread is.

Frank Sinatra - "Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy."
 

Midtowngal, have YOU ever had a life threat, or been "touched by death"? Just wondering if you are speaking from experience.

Referring to him as a "poor, little suicidal kid" might not help here...

"That dude is so haole, he don't even have any breath left."

Yes, sorta like being attacked. not once, at my younger & wilder ages. and I fought and survived with no post traumatic syndromes at all. Life stories make you tough. if not, I would have just shut up from the beginning. Sorry about calling him like that, but I assume young man should not be that "sensitive". The world is harsh, why do we need to pretend so nice? I'm trying to teach him in a harsh way. It may work the best, fellows.

[quote=midtowngal] 1. You probably need a life threat, at this point. Well, not really, I’m talking about a fake one or so. But if your misery is that bad, the last thing which could save you from it would be a life threat. Only the people who have been touched or teased by death will cherish life more than any other. You should know why, you’re having a life, but you aren’t feeling the beauty of it anymore. This is the main issue. So tons of people are suffering miseries fucking worse than yours but many of them still want to live longer even it is for one more fucking day. Think about it, all about how you feel and treat life. It is nothing about what you have or what you don’t have. The mentality is the key.

Sounds a little bit like Jigsaw from the Saw series... Want to play a game?

And so it goes
 
jdrdeer"escape from your lonely, pathetic little world" jesus midtowndgal, maybe be a little nicer to the kid? I think your crazy personally, that being said..if I was the kid who wrote that post before--I would take you up on this offer...for one it would make a very interesting story and that itself should be worth living for.

You are the one who has at least a little clue about what the therapy is about. He does not need people to treat him that nice. He needs to be lighted up like fire, the fire of life. This is my last comment: I remember how my dad used this kind of strategy. When I had a serious down time, I just needed him to shout at me once " STOP, ENOUGH, you are just a stupid, pathetic, fugly bitch!" Then I'm all cured and all pumped up. The end

I get what your saying, I don't agree with it though. You have to know that someone in that state is very fragile and the amount of people who respond to your "therapy" in a positive way is tiny...now you may be one of them and there is nothing wrong with that--but you have to realize it isn't universal. It would probably work better just saying "Stop Enough!" and dragging them out of the house then adding the "stupid fugly bitch part" until you are sure it would work...you would hate to say that and have the kid kill himself because you took the wrong approach...know what i'm saying? Though you may not agree, I am sure you understand my point of view.

 

It's caused me great pain to witness shameless behavior...Either chase non-IVy geeks to help finance your AIDS therapy, or just simply fuck off. Peace.

 

you may have have been able to read Freud at 15 or 16 but you certain as shit can't write. this is riddled with errors and... bullshit.

Remember, once you're inside you're on your own. Oh, you mean I can't count on you? No. Good!
 

I was just trying to help. apparently some monkeys don't appreciate and I don't blame. The difference between us is like night and day. I think I'm better than all the guys who have clicked his thread and didn't offer any help then left away. I postponed my own stuff this afternoon to write a fucking article. At least I'm not cold hearted. I'm always a controversial figure and I'm cool with that. I didn't mean to insult anyone, but if my thread hurts anybody's eyes, feel free to close it. I will not offer my advice next time. But I don't even want to say sorry for any of this because I have nothing to be sorry for. Many people here are college kids so you may not know some different but effective therapies. I dared to approach from a new way then labeled as a devil forever. sigh.

As another depressed person working my ass off on Wall Street, this is literally the worst post I've seen on WSO.

"As someone who could read masterpieces of Sigmund Freud at a tender age of 15,16 yrs old with solid understandings, I think I have at least some justice to help."

This is easily one of the most arrogant and pretentious statements I've read. You actually think that reading some discredited bullshit (not masterpieces) that Freud wrote in a book makes you qualified to give advice on a state of mind that is totally foreign to most other people?

Also, your second bullet point (find religion), shows that you actually don't understand Freud at all. Freud wrote about the irrationality of religion and argued that science and reason should fill the void left by its absence in the modern age.

"...to escape from your lonely, pathetic little world. This works a lot, after you come back, you should be able to reflect on how much of a “village idiot” you were. No offense."

Great words to say to a depressed, suicidal person. Nailed it.

"I postponed my own stuff this afternoon to write a fucking article." Wow, you're such a martyr.

By the way, for someone who is (ostensibly) smart enough to get through the prose of Freud and understand his arguments, you have a very interesting style of writing. Definitely a Harvard graduate.

I hope you drink till you puke tonight, bitch.

Well said +1

Seriously though, she's obviously just trolling but this is overall pretty fucked up when someone legitimately is asking for help regarding a serious issue. This post alone should be deserving enough to get you banned.

 

Seriously this is not being heartless or not assholes or the rest.The best thing is to ball up in many situations. But we are not doctors so why a finance related site is trying to be a doctor.Depression has many causes and we have no fucking idea why the kid has depression we just assuming we know the causes He should get to see a doctor not prep talk from people who are clueless.

 

Soooo... this thread got edited in some serious way, right?

Absolutely no context here. From my perspective it's just an angry little blurb followed by some really pissed comments, lol. Looks like a missed a good one, someone wanna fill me in?

She made a whole post giving advice to the guy who started a thread about having a mental breakdown. Basically everyone thought she was completely off base and that she was just pulling shit out of her ass.
