It's different for different people. I'll tell you how it was for me. I felt pain, and I wanted to stop it. I was not capable of thinking about the feelings of my freinds and family. It was like being in a burning building and "making the decision" to jump off the roof.

The point he made, that I liked, was that depression (as a disease) is not fatal. - Jim Aug 12, 11:02 4
- It *can* be fatal, though. There are different degrees of depression. - Kim Pine Aug 12, 11:15 2
  - In Walsh's case, he had/has depression that he can control. - Inigo Aug 12, 11:23 1
    - the fact that he says straight up he cant' comprehend it backs you up. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 11:24
- this is, as landbeck said, a very complex thing that he is trying to reduce to a simple choice. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 12, 11:03
