Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
My heart breaks for all of these people that want to end their life. In your role as a suicide counselor, do you find that people that attempt or succeed talk about it first to somebody or not say anything?
My mother committed suicide when she was 41 (I was 15) leaving behind 4 kids & a husband & never said a word. She waited for the kids to go to school & my father to go to work. My 14 yr. old brother found her & needless to say we all got screwed up from it. I never blamed her or was angry with her, she simply needed medical intervention that was not provided.
Once again, thank you so much for saving lives. You are an inspiration for me.
I once heard a saying "If your job doesn't involve saving lives, it's just not that important." Not to dish anybody just those "I'm so important and you're not" types.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
its true, people can cry wolf over and over - but then there is a day that it is real.
you never know which day it is, so you HAVE to take each cry seriously.
