you can't believe everything you see on tv, you should count yourself lucky not to be one of us who has problems with depression and self-abuse.
"like when she gets depressed she's tried to kill herself or had thoughts of suicide, but we all know that becca when not in a depressed state wouldn't attempt suicide." -this is the MOST OBVIOUS and frankly flat-out stupid statements i've heard in a very long while. Duh!! no one attempts suicide when they're feeling happy. you don't just get bored and slap-happy and say, "Hey, I think I'll try to kill myself, just to see what it's like." there's no reason to if you're not depressed or in some sort of bad/hopeless mood!
And yes, as a certified nut-job, I do take this very personally... yeah, nearly everyone does things, whether consciously or not, to try to get attention, often without really meaning to (which might be one of the reasons I complain so much), some just more than others.
You do it too.
But until you have a serious battle with depression and/or mood disorders, you really can't understand what it's like....
