This song is what I am feeling...since hearing the news

I came very close to losing someone I love yesterday. Mental illness runs deep in my family. I feel ASHAMED that I didn't see the signs...I mean I should know...I've been there. I attempted suicide several times in my life...almost succeeding twice ..plus I was also a cutter. Thankfully through self education and severly severing a nerve causing permanent damage...I no longer have these feelings or face these issues...but because I have been so busy I was blind to see the signs in my daughter :(
This is such an IMPORTANT issue...it doesn't discriminate...and more often then not..whatever issue was being faced..was blown way out of proportion and easily treatable. ..just the person facing it couldn't see that far.
Which is why it's everyones responsibility to listen with our hearts ...and learn to recognize the signs because...you never know if it will be someone that you love.
Some signs to look for -
- Talking about wanting to die or kill themselves. (Even joking)
2.Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live.
3.Saying that they are a burden to other people.
4.Withdrawing and isolating themselves from their friends and family.
5.Saying that they have unbearable pain ..that nobody else can understand.
6.Mood swings...increased anxiety. .agitation and reckless behavior.
7.Too little or too much sleeping.
8.Possible increased drug and alcohol use.
9.No longer participating in activities they once enjoyed.
These are just a few signs...but in general the persons behavior and personality will slowly change

@kayleigh-alesta Oh boy, I can so relate to this. I've been through hell and back....I just saw a flashback of myself. Thank you for posting this, a huge help for those who suffer from major depression...
Me too!! I'm sorry that you had to suffer with this as well...thank you for resteeming so more people can see and bring more awareness...it's a scary issue one that some don't really understand. ..they think just get up and get over it ...it doesn't work like that. Kayleigh

How was your part of the town the last 2-3 days with THE FIGHT nonsense anyways??
Crazy....but not as crazy as I thought it would be.......though I'm mostly inside anyways working on house :)
@kayleigh-alesta I cant explain the way your post makes me feel, I hope everyone appreciates this for what it really is, to even care about someone elses life, someone you dont even knows LIFE enough to want to make sure they have resources and can get help.. That says a lot about Who you actually are. I was a Monster I use to Love fighting, showing off, I thought I was just Ohh so cool, until an i.e.d hit me and killed 3 other soldiers on the eastern border of Afghanistan, an I let pain medicine, p.t.s.d and life tear me up.. Quick lesson to chill out and make sure people know that the "thing" I was is what got killed over there not me. Your post has my attention. I swear !
I hope y up vote helps :)
Thank you...I'm glad this post moved you :) I am sorry what you have been through...we all have been in ugly places and we just have to apply those lessons in our lives to make changes...thank you for sharing your personal story ...I know that's not easy...and thank you for the upvote :) :)
Nice one awesome
Thank You @sohil !
