pwhodges:
So presumably you feel that depressed people should have stayed happy, or anxious people should have stayed relaxed? All bad things can be avoided by simple common sense, or maybe will-power? What a lovely ideal! Simple observation of the world around you should show you that things are very much otherwise, and that your response is equivalent to sticking your head in the sand.
Mr. Doctor:
Even though I agree with most of you guys (specially pwhodges' comments which I find spot-on) I do feel that there's some weird vibe going on as soon as someone has a different opinion, they are suddenly some kind of asshole for not having simpathy for some of those people which I think it's just an unfair thing to say. There are many sides to look at, I haven't read any opinions here that are 100% wrong.

This is such bullshit. Being depressed or anxious are things you cannot necessarily help. Picking up a needle, filling it with heroin and forcibly injecting it into your arm for the first time, is a CHOICE. If you've never taken it before, there's no addiction there to force you. There's a certain amount of stupidity, recklessness (or even sheer ignorance to the dangers involved in any given activity) that I can overlook given tragic/unfortunate circumstances, but to my mind there's no circumstance great enough to excuse someone taking a substance that is WIDELY known to be THAT dangerous, irresponsible and illegal. And furthermore, it is well out of line to imply I'm some kind of a bad person, simply because I refuse to have sympathy for these people. Note that my first post here merely said "I have little sympathy for the girl" - at no point did I try and shit on those who ARE sympathizing with her.

And you know what they can do to your judgement?
Maybe you'll never make a seriously bad decision in your life; but if you do, perhaps you could think back to this conversation afterwards.

I will say that once Eric Clapton stopped using drugs, his music started sucking hardcore.
