> Yet Reed says Jeff has "a reckless lack of knowledge about how depression really works". Why does Reed label Jeff as ignorant in both his knowledge of depression and Aaron's situation when Reed himself doesn't know Jeff's? Not implying this is the situation here in the least, but I have met multiple people who - despite acknowledging that they, themselves, were at one point depressed and suicidal - still claim that suicide is a choice and a coward's way out and have no interest in helping those who are too weak to do so themselves. Again, this is not to belittle Jeff's own turmoil, but rather to illustrate that the severity of one's struggle is vastly different than another's, even when they have both had similar solutions to their problems at some point. I thought the title of "ragequit" was inappropriate, as that's an insensitive joke regarding a very sad and serious act and in no way reflects on all of the aspects of what that person is/was going through. |
