I can't stand when people say depression and drugs killed these guys. No. Chester Bennington killed Chester Bennington. Chris Cornell killed Chris Cornell. Surely depression may have played a big role in their decisions, but people really need to take accountability for their own actions. It is nobody's fault but their own.

ok, you are taking that quote a little to literally. yes depression didn't kill Chester but depression led to Chester killing himself. when you are deep in a depressive state, you basically lose yourself. Can some people overcome this, yes. other can't and thats not a fault. sometimes shit happens and it is not anyone fault. it just is what it is.

Are you serious? You are clearly ignorant to the power the mind has over people. I don't know if you have ever suffered from long term depression, I don't really care. But to say that depression isn't a reason people commit suicide is absurd and narrow minded.

I'm not clearly ignorant. You don't know a single thing about me and you make assumptions over the internet.

Of course anxiety, depression, drugs can lead a person down into that Mariana Trench of an abyss where nothing but the living dead reside and all perception is distorted. You CAN choose life over death down there and you can get out of it. But if you give all your power away to what you think controls you, then that's when you're done. It always comes down to the will of the individual down there...not the will of anxiety or depression. People do have the power to get out of any situation.

Unexpected death is just so fucked up.

Is it that,simple to choose life over death when depression has it's grip over you? If it was that simple, why would anyone choose death? I apologize for my reaction to what you said. I do not agree with your premise.
