    As for how the injury happened, his doctors still don’t know. “The mechanism is unclear,” they wrote. However, they noted he had a history of depression.

    Wild speculation ofc, but imagine trying to kill yourself, you build up the courage to stab a knife into your brain through your eye and then you just fucking live with minimal complications beside a missing eye. What the fuck is that?

      If it was self-inflicted, I can’t even imagine what he is going through that he chose the method of stabbing himself in the head. I hope he gets better.

      If your speculation is accurate, then that’s one big ass fucking sign to live. Or at least that’s how I would take it.

        I had a moderate depressive episode due to health issues, couldn’t do shit, basically chair-ridden (like bedridden, but at least I could sit). If my health had gotten any worse, like from a failed suicide attempt, I only would have wanted to die more.

        Depression doesn’t work that way, unfortunately. I hope this guy gets some support.
