Don't Try Suicide
Yesterday, someone, near me took their life. I can't get that thought out of my mind. As I'm writing, I'm at my favorite coffee shop, observing others doing what ever it is they're doing. Some are working, others are sitting and chatting with friends. There's one group playing cards. Mostly they're smiling and laughing; But others have that "my brain is at hard at work" look, while others are involved in serious discussions with one another. The one thing they're all doing is living. And in the context of this post it all looks incredibly fucking precious.
I myself know the very real pain and hopelessness that can result from depression. I also know that feeling where you think it will never get better, so what's the point? But taking your life is never a solution, and there is ALWAYS someone you can turn to. Me, for example, but there are many, many others. You are cherished, and you are loved.
Suicide is never the answer.
The National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1 (800) 273-8255. It is available 24-7. If you're in a place of darkness, I beg you to call.
