When you hear of someone commiting suicide what do you think of them? If you knew ways to prevent it, would you have the strength and power to step in?
Depression is something that everyone at one point deals with. We are not built right in life to handle everything that comes our way appropriately. When something goes wrong we drain on ourselves as failures. It doesn't help when everything starts turning against you. Your powerless and the thought of being good again is not even existence.
I'm a firm believer in medications and therapy. How else are you supposed to change mind over matter? Once you create a feeling or a thought, your perception becomes limited unless proven wrong. Try changing a depressed person.
I've had my moments before. I've had everything I thought at the time be so devastating that even I took a whole bottle of pills and held a gun in my hand. Disgusting isn't? It is to me now of course. I let my limited perception about to get the best of me. I'm obviously fine now, this was very many years ago...but I guess it felt needed to be known. I don't wrap myself to be an expert. I just know that I know how it feels. I truly do. Life is hard. Plain and simple. I was lucky enough to be hit by what life is to me to value it again. Most people don't get that.
So back to my question....if you knew that someone was so lost that they were on the verge of just giving up on everything, what would you do? The warning signs are there. People say all the time that they didn't have a clue, but in all reality there was something. It takes one person to step in. I takes one occurrence to make a difference. I don't care if you even like the person, if you saw it what would you do?
When I used to have a bad day and was just pissed off at everything, I would be at work and just happen to walk through the SICU (Surgical Intensive Care Unit) or the MICU (Medical Intensive Care Unit). Then...it hits me. These people are having a bad day...not me. We get so angry at the world and forget what we were given to appreciate. It frustrates me that there is person out there right now lost when there is so much worse things out there. You think you have it bad? Well someone is dealing with something worse.
I guess I really don't have too much of a point here. Maybe I'm a little lost myself tonight. I just know if I could help someone I would. The only thing is, that I have no clue on how to help. In my situation I guess its even more frustrating since I know this person so well that I know they have something. Many things to actually be a purpose but they refused that they were even purposeful.
So I guess if you have any advice then give it. If you don't...well thats okay too. Lastly...just because it is a blog in all, if you have suicidal thoughts or tendencies please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
