    There's a cure for depression - it's called suicide.

    They do indeed - I lost a house betting on the America's Cup.

    Yeah but knowing my luck there will be an afterlife and I'd still be anxiety ridden and depressed.

    What a cheery thread this is by jiminy.

    One advantage of depression is never having to make your bed because you never leave it.

    Depression is no laughing matter. Not something to be joked about or taken lightly.

    If only Gary Speed had looked at that web site he might still be with us.

    That's right. He may have hung around a bit longer.

    When I had depression I felt suicidal and decided to take 100 Paracetamol, after I'd taken two I felt much better.

    My mate's been suffering with depression so I gave him a call to see how he was.

    "Sorry mate I can't talk, I'm just in a really dark place right now" he said.

    "What's wrong? Are you ok? Don't do anything stupid" I replied.

    "What? No, I'm in Brixton, I don't want my phone getting nicked."

    Ironically enough(with this being a thread about sad people and all that), is this joke possibly the best joke ever to be told on GC? I'm not sure Monica, maybe it is, but maybe it isn't, but all I can say is, you did your best and if that isn't good enough, then shoot yourself(just don't jump in front of a train, when I'm trying to get back from Antibes to Nice, you inconsiderate ****, because it costs me a fortune in a taxi ya big handsome ****)
