Depression/Suicide

I know that there is a lot of people in the world who suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts. If you dial the number in the photo you can talk to someone about it, so you don't do something that will harm you and others. I'm not going to pretend to understand what depression feels like or having suicidal thoughts, but what I can do is listen. I have always told all my friends that if they need someone to talk to or even someone to listen to you as you talk about whatever is going on and that's true. I have said that.

Suicide isn't the answer to a problem, but those of you who are struggling with those type of thoughts would disagree with me and that's fine. You might also think that there is nobody that cares about you or what you are going through, but know that I will care. I don't know everyone and not everyone knows me, but I can still care about people and I will. Just knowing that there is one person who will care about you will hopefully give you some hope.

I know quite a few people who have tried or committed suicide or even struggling with depression or suicide thoughts at one point and honestly I don't get it, but I do at the same time in a way. Things happen that are devasting or hard to handle at times that can be difficult to pull yourself out of, but you can always pray. Prayer is really important when hard things are going on because God will honor those prayers and will help you through it. It's true that He might not answer right away or the way we want, but He still hears our prayers.

I realize that not everyone believes in God, but you can still pray and talk out loud about the things that you are struggling with. There are people who care about you and who will miss you if you die. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter feel free to message me and I will talk to you to the best of my ability. You can also call the hotline or they even have a way that you can message someone on the hotline that you can talk to if you don't feel like a phone call. Stay strong and believe that things will turn around. You got this.
