Depression. It's a silent killer.

I’ve just heard that a friends husband attempted suicide a few days ago. He failed thankfully. She’s not close, so I can’t put my arms around them physically.
So I’m sending a virtual hug to everyone that’s suffering today.

Over the years, I have had three people I knew commit suicide, two were close friends and there were no signs it would ever have happened. Now a days, we are better educated to reach out and check on our friends, and make sure they are well, and really ask them " Are you OK" and mean it!

Not having children myself, I can't begin to imagine how hard that must be. I don't even know what to say about this...


All I can do is second this.

Thank you. The hospice is helping by mitigating her pain. She had a better day yesterday.

Morning. My event went well and I’m recovered for the most part.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

Please call someone to help. I know that feeling and it’s hard to resist. We’re here to chat.

I had a little breakdown the other morning at work. I bawled but realized I really had no right to be upset. So I wiped my tears and got back to work.
Days before, I saw my doctor who increased my doses on most of meds and can already see a difference. Let’s hope for the best.

I hope everyone is doing good. Enjoy your weekend

Yeah... sometimes it doesn't need a reason to happen. While I do believe that brain chemistry plays a part in depression, it's only one piece of the puzzle. I hope you continue to see improvements!

I agree with you about the brain chemistry. If one part is not on line with the others, it sets everything off.
I hate crying over something I have no control over. To me, it's like crying when you're pissed off.
Thank you me too!

Morning. A smoky morning here in the PNW. I’m getting my living space set up and it feels good to be on my own again.

Have the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

 

[Wetkitty09]

Hello. I’m full enclosed now. The next step is anchoring the structure then some sort of insulation. Winter is coming and the more I do now the better likely I’ll survive it in a little comfort.

Have the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

Today isn't too bad for the first time in weeks I woke up not depressed and kinda happy, even had Satan try to fuck with me through email but I didn't let it bother me and I kept my cool and finished with a smile

In my experience, the most common cause of depression is living the life you were taught to life as you were growing up, rather than the life that you want to live as an adult. You can't change the world around you, you can only change your part of it. I would suggest that you look within yourself, and decide what will make *YOU* happy, not what will make the world around you happy.

We didn't come into this world to serve a culture created by society, we came into this world to find a little peace and happiness of our own!

Just my opinion........

I agree with this statement and want to add that the brain chemistry is also a factor for many people.

Have the best day you can.

Killing them with kindness is its own reward.

They ended up messaging me again and I told em to grow up and to fuck off and then blocked them on everything

True, brain chemistry is a factor; however, often brain chemistry is affected by emotion. Negative emotions can create unhealthy brain chemistry.

A wise man once said: "Life is all in how you look at it and study it."

Sometimes we focus too much on things that are relevant only to other people's happiness, and has no bearing on our own happiness. We can't change the world we live in, but we don't have to let it control us!!

Change your outlook on life and the clouds of depression will dissipate, revealing the sunlight of happiness. Stay the course of unhappiness and the clouds never go away.

We can't change the world, we can only change our part of it.

Morning. I believe that we create our own reality. That said we can only create a better reality for ourselves from the place that we are at the moment. Following our relief brings us further towards the reality we want. It’s not an easy journey and it never really ends. Keep look for the next step then take it.
I’m rooting for you.

Have the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.

Morning. Off to a pet sitting gig this morning.
Have the best day you can.
Be safe out there.
Love you.
