Discussion Do you truly believe in complete recovery?

I'm not smart enough to know but I'll say it's a genetic flaw. I've been suicidal many times. Others have a "you can never give up" attitude.
Although life hardly seems worth it now anyway. The world is incredibly flawed and cruel.

I feel it's a mark of true intelligence to see through the world's distractions into what it truly is. Society is a deteriorating abomination made by the worst exploitative traits of humans.

I would say it's almost always both nature and nurture. I often envy the genetic flaw that allows the blissful blind ignorance to enjoy this existence. I know you meant it the opposite way though haha.

Let's all try to enjoy this beautiful gift of sight into the despair and misery surrounding us. I wonder, is recovery just closing our eyes?

I believe it's possible for people whose mental health conditions are on the more mild to moderate side. And I am genuinely happy for them if they can reach the point where they're fully recovered. Unfortunately it seems to me that it can be nearly impossible for people who are dealing with it being more severe. I've accepted that I'll very likely have to deal with these thoughts for the rest of my life. All I can do is not allow them to take over my mind and direct my actions in life.

I've never thought to generalise degrees of suicidal ideations. I can't hardly imagine anyone could say somebody's suicidal ideations were only moderate so of course they were able to find the cure, but not me.
