He never stopped jumping to look at the window when he heard someone 'One to come the sidewalk and let his heart be filled with a joyful moment of hope. It does not matter how many times that hope has been precipitated, he never dropped. He is a little a doofus this way. Otherwise else in my life could possibly explain to me. You can explain to them what happened and they had at least be able to understand if not accept it. But my little brown dog was ever wondering why I did not get home. And he had a rather difficult life so far. I was his friend when he had not Rsonne and he was mine.

But when a person has been suffering for years, barely living, barely able to get out of the bed the latest morning, this is not a temporary problem. When I was in my worst depressed state and I heard that saying for the first time, what I heard said was: "It's a permanent solution to a permanent problem" and You know what? It was comforting. It was encouraging in an erroneous way. I just wanted to stop exist. You do not have to worry about waking up next morning. What I thought That I knew I would destroy my children's life. I knew they would blame themselves. Even If I thought they were better free without me there and I prejudiced them. If I damaged. If I took my life, it would be much worse for them. "

I do not feel this way, and it's taken to cut off the alcohol of my life for me To understand that. If you have trouble fighting and using a substance, please plan to abandon it, or even reduce the years. I spent years using alcohol to deal with To my feelings, and it ended up being the reason I needed the RCP to keep me alive. And things are better. I'll go to 23. "
15 Realize this will destroy your parents

I took the bottle of whole acetaminophen and I said things" off "(My goodbyes) to my friends and they noticed and rushed to midnight to tell my parents, something was very wrong and called the ambulance. I will not surrender what I did but they knew about My eyes that I did not go either, then they had made me at the hospital and made me ingest this absolutely horrible fluid coal. I threw it everywhere in the middle of the night, but when I'm am awake at some point, I saw my mother turned praying and crying and I will never forget. The other view that stops me from all this is now my father crying when they checked me in The room. In all my life, I had never seen him crying with the exception of this one. Were you out there. Even if you do not like. 'Do not have a family that supports you, Friends are there. About two years after I had animal rabbits and I like them death. I can not imagine letting my pets behind and when I am emotionally in distress, I will look at them in silence and it helps me to calm me a little more and recover. It's hard, but it's something. Therapy helped me and my family will open each other on things I kept in it caused me to go on the edge.

As Someone who suffers, I know how difficult it is to talk without talking about living. I spent years from being silent about my illness. I was ashamed. I thought it was my fault and I should be able to handle it. I was wrong. It cost me jobs, friends and partners. It costs me very almost my life. Once I was hospitalized, I have Finally, could receive the help I wish desperately. I always rebuilt. I'm always struggling. But I can now see a lig HT at the end of the tunnel. At everyone who suffers from mental illness: I see you, I'm here for you and you are not alone. The world may seem empty. Everything can lose his chandelier.

17 Leaving love in
"I had trouble with a gentle depression and anxiety for a moment, but it was never overwhelming. Then the next day Thanksgiving, I moved to 5 hours of my family and my fiancée to take A job in a television channel. The city depressed in itself, with some of the highest overdose of heroin and poverty rates in the state ... I hit the bottom of the rock.I Guard especially under control, and I started to see a therapist who helped a little. But one day came where he was too much, and I was so stressed and broken from the thought of having to go to work and throw myself into A job that fears that I decided that I was going to drive me into a tree on the way to the way. I'm never self-alard, I could still laugh and joke with friends, but I just do not have Given the point of length longer. While I did not say to my fiancée, she could say that something was wrong and appealing my therapist. My therapist immediately sent someone from the services, who helped talk to me. She called my job to tell them that I would not want to come to work that day. That I was grateful for enough, but it was the reactions of those who around me who moved me. When he heard what happened, my roommate (who worked on the same station and that I had only met a few months before) rushed at home immediately to make sure I was going. That night, my fiancée led five hours in a snowstorm to make me pass and spend a week with me and meet my colleagues. I ended up leaving the next two months, a year ago, from the last Tuesday. I have come home with my parents for a few months and I'm back in the city where I went to college, working as an admission counselor for my Alma Mater. I married my wife last December and she was my savings grace. She is beautiful and funny and intelligent, and more than I can ever hope to be. I'm creating it entirely with saving my life, and I can never feel it about that I love it. People care about you. You just have to let them enter. "
18 Realizing that you have control over your emotions
"I was going to suicide me for a moment. I had a scheduled date, I had a method, I had things I wanted to do and that I had done everything, I even practiced what I wanted May my note be, I had a glorious vision of people returning to the region of my funeral and to meet again to have a good time. That's when I realized that I had to be Deniring, no one comes to my funeral would have a good time. They would all be miserable. The note would not explain it quite well, no matter how many times I rewrite it in my head, I could not get it so that people understand. My mother, she would never understand, I never thought about it. Most of the things I'm worried about, it's just things I'm worried. If I just stopped from M ' to occupy this, it would no longer be sh sleeps. I am worried. I mean you kill me is the end, is nothing worse who can happen to you at that time, the game E ST COMPLETED. Maybe I just had to start a new game, where I was free from the material that held me own in this one. "
19 Imagine the person who finds you
"I tried suicide when I was 16, I was depressed and untreated because the mental illness was not something that was recognized in my family. I cut my wrists and the Tins under the water. The only thing that stopped me was the thought that my 5 year old niece would be to find me. I did not want. I bandaged, cleaned, and I went to establish to re-evaluate my life. No doubt should have had stitches, but I was not ready to admit that I had "problems". I'm now. I always fight with my depression. I medicated for a while, but I hated the side effects. I'm fortunately married, bought a house this year, and a wonderful godchild that is an absolute sun of sun in my life. Thus, the depression is there. But suicidal thoughts are not. Whenever he crosses randomly, even my mind, I remember why I'm still here. But my life is important for me. I want to live to enjoy the good times and fight by the bad. I will Survive. Please, someone who reads that. If you need help, get help. Your life is worth it. There is a lot of love and support there if you need it. "
20 Understand what depression is appeared
"When you have depression, it's like it snows every day. Some days, it's only a few inches. Some days it snows a foot. Some days it snows four feet. A few more weeks he is an entire snowstorm. When you open your door, it is at a snow wall. The wavering power, then off. It's too cold to sit in the lounge plus, you come back to bed with all your clothes. The stove and microwave will not work if you eat a cold Pop Tart and call the dinner. You did not take a shower in three days, but how could you at that moment? You are too cold to do anything except sleep. Sometimes people snowdrawn for the winter. The cold seeps in. No communication or get out. The food is exhausted. What can you do again, forty feet snow bench tunnel with your hands? How far is the help? You can do it even in a snowstorm? If you do it, can they even help you at this point? Maybe the death of staying here, but he died to go there too ... sometimes, pelletage is not enough anyway. It is difficult to say from the outside, but it is important to understand what it is like from inside. I firmly believe that understanding and compassion must be the basis for effective action. It is important to understand what depression is, how it feels, what it is to live with it, so that you can help people both on an individual basis and a political basis. "
21 Realizing you are not alone
