Depression
Say you suffer from bouts of depression from time to time. Where you think you are ugly, stupid and a waste of a perfectly good human body.
Say you sometimes think about how life isn't offering you much except pain and the promise of even more pain.
Say you look in the mirror expecting to see a skull and being faintly surprised to see an actual normal human being looking back at you.
Say sometimes you wonder about killing yourself but never go through with any of it because you don't want to cause your family and friends grief. So you don't want to live, but you can't die.
Say you feel this way nearly every day for at least an hour especially when you are tired. But when it is gone you can think more 'normal'.
Say you're just a poor collegestudent and can't afford a shrink or something like that and the depression doesn't seem serious enough to warant medication.
In this hypothetical situation, what would you do?
