Depression is one of the most frightening things a person can go through. Logic doesn't work when you're depressed. You can be the richest, most beautiful, and talented person in the world, and still be depressed. People may not understand, and scowl at anyone in that position, but its F'ing horrible! I've never been depressed, but I lost someone this same way, and I know that beyond it being a mental, and emotional thing, its also very physical. It bloody hurts, and I just want to hug anyone who feels this way!!
I also feel sad for his friends and family, as now they have to live with the "what else could I have done" guilt that inevitably hits people. :(
Not that I would have deemed this story less sad if I thought he was bugly, but he certainly was handsome.
