When you’re really depressed, simple barriers like that can make a big difference. I believe antidepressants can sometimes cause suicide because the patient finally feels ready to go out of their daily routine and get it done. And I can tell you anecdotally that if my mom kept a gun in my house I’d have been dead for over 20 years now. But all my options were unreliable or painful, so I just hid in my hole instead.

Hope you’re doing better now. Depression and suicide fucking suck, I’ve lost too many close family and friends to it. I’m fighting that black dog now too.

I agree. I’ve been 18 for near 19 years now, and have owned at least 1 gun for 17 of them. The 1 year was a choice when I was depressed, not the only time I was… But I understand your thoughts there.
