This story has become really unsetting...
By the way, this bit:
“Do you have suicidal thoughts?” James shrugged. “Yeah, all the time. Everyone does though.” More quiet scribbling. “That’s a common misconception held by the clinically depressed. Having frequent suicidal thoughts isn’t normal. You know it’s the most selfish thing you can do, right?”
Do the clinically depressed people actually think having suicidal thoughts is a normal, everyday thing for everybody?
It is an honest question.
I guess I don't know. But that's how I felt when I was depressed.
