RJ Mitte (Walt Jr) has passed 😥

Wow, I was shocked to hear this. They are saying it was suicide. So sad. He was only 34 years old. RIP, Flynn ❤️

A very accurate description of a terrible, terrible disease.

The most accurate analogy I've ever read was this one that compares it to shoveling snow.

It's something I wish everybody could read, and gain even an ounce of perspective.

Hyperbole and a Half has several excellent blogs about her experiences with severe depression. They are raw, beautiful, heartbreaking and hilarious.

Suicide is not a disease bro. It’s a mental problem.

Giving the BOTD:

Did you mean Suicide, or Depression in your claim?

Why do you think mental problems are not diseases?

Where do you draw the line? Rheumatoid arthritis? Leukemia? Seizure? Migraine? Dementia? Bipolar disorder?

Migraine isn’t a disease, bipolar is usually 50/50. I believe most people overdo it by being dramatic.

it’s weird that they’re talking about depression and you act like they called suicide a disease. reading isn’t your strong suit
