In all seriousness: I know what you mean. Sometimes I just wanna vanish into thin air or something. Also I remember reading that ppl who are truly very depressed aren't at risk for suicide at all. Why you ask? Because they are so down in the dumps they don't feel like doing anything at all. Like eating, talking, making plans to kill oneself. (well not eating will eventually kill you too but you get what I mean). So some ppl have this theory that when those ppl actually experience a lift in their mood it's when they get dangerous (for example when the antidepressants kick in) because then they have the energy again to plan on stuff, and 'stuff' doesn't necessarily include actions to make your life better...
