Yesterday a very loved and good man committed suicide. He was the father of two and suffered from severe depression and bipolar disorder. We all get depressed from time to time and it sucks. Some of us, me included, have a mental illness that, if left untreated, can cause you to do things you wouldn’t normally do.
Please everyone reading this, if you feel depressed, lonely or suicidal, call someone. Talk to somebody that will talk back. It is nothing to be ashamed of nor is it anything to keep to yourself. There is always help. If your parents, spouse, or loved ones don’t understand or take you seriously, walk into a hospital anywhere near you and tell them. They will take your seriously.
Bottom line… don’t take matters into your own hands. There is always another option. You are loved by many even if it feels like you are not. There is always another way.
And if you know someone suffering from depression and are near the end of their rope… extend a hand and offer help, lend an ear, or at the very least tell someone who can help them.
Sincerely,
Brandi

Every life that ends because one cannot think of possibly taking another breath is such a terrible tragedy. I speak from experience. You honestly cannot or do not consider what others may feel because of what you do. You just want the pain to stop. Not to feel. Not to think. That’s when intervention is vital. If an outside person or persons can talk to you, it gets you out of your head, at least long enough to get help. Talk talk talk!!!
