Reading that was one of the toughest things I’ve ever done, but truly worthwhile.

Thank you for those very kind and open words, Pam xx I totally believe that it needs to be brought out from the wilderness where everyone can see it. Hiding it away isn’t working

Hi Troy saw your post on Jazz’s page -she’s my Pilates instructor and a great friend too.
I agree with you -resilience seems to make a difference.I haven’t personally experienced the severe depression you are talking about but I’ve had my moments just seems I’m lucky and can draw on my resilience to drag myself back up.
My late husband had severe depression so I lived with someone for 15 years who was battling this – in the end he opted for suicide in 2005.
I think bringing depression into the open and also being truthful about the suicide rates may open eyes and has to be a good thing if people will openly talk about it.
It’s a dreadful illness that rears its head when least expected and defies anything you try
to conquer it. Keep battling you will get there ….. Resilience definitely seems to be a key factor …..take care Pam

I remember feeling so damn lost so upset that nothing could bring me out of it. My problem was that I actually reached out to the people I cared about and told them goodbye before I took an entire months worth of depression pills. Here was something that was supposed to help but it became my escape plan. Fortunately I did not succeed, but what I did learn is who cares. One of the people I care about told me they were mad at me. One of my last thoughts would have been that I cared and they were furious with me. The ine thing it taught me was to be careful who I let in.

That’s a fair comment, Dave. I’m wondering though,and please don’t answer if this is too personal, but why would the acknowledgement of strangers help? Friends and family, I understand, but people you don’t know?

I dunno, from personal experience having the recognition of the pain something causes, the acknowledgment, can help.
