“In those pamphlets that they give at mental health centers where they list the ten or so symptoms that would indicate a clinical depression, suicide threats or even simple talk of suicide is considered cause for concern. I guess the point is that whats just talk one day may become a real activity the next. So perhaps after years of walking around with these germinal feelings, these raw thoughts, these scattered moments of saying I wish I were dead, eventually I too, sooner or later, would succumb to the death urge. In the meantime, I could withdraw to my room, could hide and sleep as if I were dead. -”
