All it does is mask the problem, Matt. And if you understand the history of it, it masks the problem. That's what it does. That's all it does. You're not getting to the reason why. There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance.

I know them well. The tragedy, while saddening, was not surprising and probably

This kind of thing is probably best not to put in genpop.

What kind of thing? That she suffered from mental illness?

byubyu

Because it's incredibly insensitive.

the post itself is oddly worded anyway considering what happened.

He isn’t giving her name. I don’t see a problem, but a small insight

I don’t mind the insight but I disagree she is

I don’t know enough to judge.

The trite dismissive response to grief will harm

Grieve with those who grieve. I think a lot of us promised that.

Part of our culture doesn't believe that. We believe grieving makes you a bad

Understanding where they are it eases the pain, but it's still very difficult.

No. No. Abso— Matt, now you're talking about two different things.

Who's Matt? And why are you screaming on the post above?

I hate that expression as it robs the grieving of their grief.

Suicide is 100% avoidable. I'm sure they would rather have her institutionalized than dead

You would hope so but a lot of variables go into getting help sometimes

In dealing with grief this is actually a lousy way of dealing with it.

Don't condemn somebody because they weren't as sensitive as they should have been. There's too much of that today.

He was dismissive and resorted to trite phraseology.

Very harsh words. Don't agree with them. He can be my neighbor.
