When I went on Facebook and then checked news stories to understand, I was hard. The death of Robin Williams hit me hard. Why? It is the depression--the silent mental illness--the thing that everyone is afraid to speak of.
I can't repeat this enough!
I am not afraid!
I have it--it doesn't bother me anymore who knows. It is hard. Do not be afraid of it. Speak out! Face it. Due to other chronic illnesses in my body, the depression medicines do not necessarily work on me. I have to focus and keep on focusing in the face of stress and other horrendous situations. It can be done. If you feel you that you have depression get help. Talk about it to someone. If you feel down and want to just end it all, call someone. Do not be afraid because you are not alone.
So often we are ashamed because of the rules and stipulations that society has placed on those who have a mental illness. These deepest troubles of the mentally ill is what is in our bodies -- our selves -- the confusion.
Do not let anyone make you feel less. Be aware of the pit falls like "Depression cause medical problems and medical problems cause depression." That remark is a vicious cycle of non-sense.
There is hope when you least expect it. God is on my side; He, Jesus, my children, family, and friends have been my saving grace. You never fail with God or Jesus however the medical community has help as well. Do not be afraid to make the call to get help. If you are not happy with the help that you are receiving keep looking but never give up. Life is too precious and short to just throw the towel in.
Do not end your life!
Part Two
Not everyone who is deemed a criminal is guilty.
No every homeless person is a drug addict or alcoholic.
Not everyone on welfare is lazy, on drugs or abuses the situation.
No every foreign speaking individual is illegal.
No everyone is a racists.
Not every happy person is truly happy.
No every wealth person has it all.
Not all the intellectually astute as wise or intelligent.
No all the Christians are Christian.
Not everyone who has a child is a parent.
Our senses can fool us.
For we do not understand what we cannot comprehend,
and that is the soul of another.
You alone only know what is true to your heart.
Learn you heart and your soul.
Walk with God and Jesus.
Do not end your life!
