My story...

[Brazen]

Research from about two years ago showed there was a risk of "new suicidal thoughts" in people taking SSRIs - i.e. they hadn't considered it when they were merely depressed.

That combined with the fact that no-one's really sure how they work and a raft of side effects means they should be prescribed and supervised with a lot more care.

[Gambrinus]

Don't the Scandies have a high suicide rate? 

As ulmont pointed out, no. But female doctors actually do, much more than male.

[Caliga]

Just FYI, I have never known a female doctor (in my personal life I mean) who seemed completely 'sane'.

You know, you can replace "female doctor" with "female" or with "person" in the above, and I'd still agree with it.

[Caliga]

Oh, I have known completely sane females, as well as people.  I'm sure there are completely sane female docs out there, but I've yet to know one on anything other than a professional level.

wow harsh. My condolences. Obviously she was pretty troubled, which just makes the whole thing sadder. Take it one day a time is the only platitude that works in this kind of scenario, I think. :chin up:

Thanks. This too shall pass, I suppose. It just seems so bloody unfair, on me as well as on her.

Went to see a psychologist last week, and she said that my ex fiancee was probably a very manipulative person (not knowingly, but rather subconciously) and that she probably choose suicide because she was coming to the realization that she had to change, and she could not handle that. Some people will go to great lengths to avoid having to change their self-image it seems. Or perhaps it was some sort of massive attack of self contempt that was brought about by the realization that she had ruined pretty much everything good in her life because of her depression/illness.

Anyway, the shrink told me to stop trying to understand why she killed herself and instead focus on myself and where my emotions are in all this...but how easy is that?

Pretty fucking easy.  Her dead.  You not.

Now, now.  Most people are heterosexual, and have feelings for women other than annoyance and contempt.

It's the 21st century.  You can come out and live an honest life of Grallonism, rather than dating Asian women with no curves and making them lower their voice an octave during sex.

I'm just trying to help a brother out.  The chick's dead.  He needs to get on with his life, and use a dead girlfriend as an excuse to score really awesome sympathy sex.

Condolences, bluebook. You can't put a price on a human life.

As it turns out, Christmas is a great time to get drunk alot.

Perhaps all this would be easier if I didnt dream about her so often.
