Had I known the depths of depression intimately meant that I would no longer be tactless enough to ask a person with mental health issues a question like that. It meant I would have empathy for others with depression. That I wouldn't call those who lost their battle with depression cowards or selfish, or assholes, for committing suicide.

It is harder to make that distinction when you have a mental illness that completely changes the way you express your personality. The way you interact with others, the way you see the world. Where do you end, and where does your sickness begin.
