I'm depressed... :( I'm gonna eat my OWN FINGER!?!?!

OK, I know I've kinda had a pattern here... "MAN FORCED TO EAT HIS OWN EAR".... "Mmm.. Hair Sandwich?!?", but I think these are the most interesting articles... 

A New Zealand man struggling with depression cut off his own finger, cooked it with vegetables and ate it, doctors reported in the latest issue of medical journal Australasian Psychiatry.
It's only the eighth identified case of self-cannibalization, and is particularly rare because of the patient's lack of severe psychosis, the article abstract says.
The patient, a 28-year-old man, amputated and ate the finger without any evidence of impaired reality testing or substance abuse.....


Well, at least this time, in this case, the man wasn't FORCED to eat his body part.... But still, do you really think cannibalism is the "way" to go if you are in a situation that you are depressed? Honestly, maybe some counseling, or just talking to someone, or something like that might help... I just don't think that eating your finger is a way to help your "depression". It's pretty sick actually if you think about it... amputating your finger, then cooking it with vegetables.... delicious... :) Would YOU ever try to solve your depression by eating your own finger?
