Was Camus ever suicidal and did he ever seriously contemplate suicide? Because I've been through some serious depression and have considered suicide, and his solution to why not suicide makes no sense to me. It seems like he's only considered suicide in the abstract, he knows his answer is not suicide, and he came up with a justification to why not suicide.

Not necessarily Camus, but to me suicide is bad bet. We'll die eventually so you may as well try to find life before that.

Well yes. Clinical depression is different. If you want to kill yourself because the hormones in your brain are in the wrong proportions, no argument is going to matter.

You can rationalize not killing yourself, speaking from personal experience. Rationalization is one of the things that keeps you going. It won't remove the desire to kill yourself. It does help prevent you from actually killing yourself.

These are too feelsy and don't help you get over actual clinical depression caused by hormones as described by >>2488789
