Thank you! to the MHI class at Univ of Cincinnati. This is intense and haunting and ever so moving. TY! My only child, Sarah, called me to tell me she intended to overdose..... and then - she did. She will forever be 20 years and 25 days young.

Oh my gosh! I really needed to see this right now. Today marks 4 years since I lost my husband to suicide. I have yet to heal from it, or even be somewhat okay. I do what I can, we have 2 little boys (I was 8 monts pregnant with our 2nd when he died)...and I am trying....but my heart is so broken still.... Thank you for this!!!

Everyone can take a stand against this it needs to stop now! It kills people that could change the world. Take a stand now and end suicide.

I realized then, that if I don't talk to the one person I can tell everything, I can't work through anything. I still have a therapy class once a week as I try to cope with my overwhelming sadness. But I am so happy to know that now I at least have a partner to support me and kick me in the ass when need arises. Bottom line: If you are depressed and don't tell anyone, then nobody can help. They can't help fix what they don't know is broken.

I know that people who attempt suicide have a sort of stigma as "crazy" or "weak", I used to be one of those people who said he would never do anything so selfish or stupid. I told myself these things while I was battling SEVERE depression for the better part of 15 years. I had an excellent job, loving wife, awesome children, but still just couldn't bear to face each day. I was fortunate that my wife happened to come home and find me before it was too late.

She never knew I was depressed.

@Jekisa1991 I know exactly how you feel... </3

This really got to me. I have had alot of friends attempt this in my past.. And I have also tried, myself.. It's a very bad and tough decision.. which could end up effecting more people around you than you may think..I learned that on my own.. People might not act like they care and act like losing you wont affect them..but trust me..it would if they didn't see you anymore for the rest of their life.. People have troubles..and the best thing to do is be there for them.. be a friend..save a life.
