What a loser.

You make it sound as if the choice between ending your own life and choosing to soldier on with life is as easy as picking the colour of paint for your living room walls?

Fair point, but when you have people around you who love/cherish/need you then it's a cowardly way to 'sort youself out'.

Depression on that scale is a mental illness and when a person is that far gone it's pretty hard to see the wood for the trees. I was severely depressed for a period lasting about 6 months, when I was 21, and to be honest nothing really mattered to me and everything seemed absolutely pointless and the best simile I can use, to put it into words, is that the entire world seemed "black". I knew my family loved me but it didn't really help me stop feeling the endless despair and hopelessness that I was experiencing. It's a very personal, deep and dark hole to be in.

In the end, I devised my own (and this was self-help fail as I should have sought professional help) strategy for pulling myself back from the brink and it was a day-by-day struggle for the initial 6 month period but it didn't stop there as it took a few years to get back to my old self.

The trouble is with severe depression is that it stops you seeing the proverbial light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. It stifles all hope completely and completely removes the ability to empathise with other peoples thoughts and sentiments.

Sometimes people just choose the easy way out because I guess they can also appreciate the monumental struggle recovery from depression can be?

That's really sad, as if his family haven't got enough to contend with. I know depression is such that you can't make rational decisions but it's still deeply unfair on other family members who might be hanging on to rationality by the skin of their teeth.

I remember when Diana Dors died and her husband, Alan someone killed himself leaving their son an orphan, it's always stuck with me and what his poor son had to go through twice just doesn't bear thinking about.

Anyway RIP McQueen.

The fashion industry is a circus, every 6 months you have to come up with a bright idea which at the end leads to sales. What you see on the shows in Paris and Milan, is a small expensive part of the business that cost millions. The millions are not so easily thrown at him. You also have to think who is the majority owner of his company since six years. Competition is huge, eg Galiano and co.

With a Major depressive order it can simply be that you have no choice in the matter. The people around you don't matter, you don't matter to yourself. Nothing matters except taking away the feeling of utter desolation and hopelessness.

And if you are going to start lashing out by name calling, at least try and make it funny. Rentbhoy would have been better;)
