I'm just sayin'

I happened to come across this article about Suicide Prevention Week. The article includes several helpful (and original!) recommendations for dealing with suicidal feelings (such as "don't be alone" and "Remove dangerous objects from the home.") Then I read this one:
9. Do things that you enjoy, and don't do things you find unpleasant until the suicidal feelings have passed.
The worst symptom of depression, in my mind, is the anhedonia - the persistent inability to enjoy anything. If I were capable of enjoying things, and doing those things that I enjoy... Then I'm probably not suicidal.
Also, if I didn't do anything unpleasant while suicidal... I would never get anything done.
