There is an awesome project going around to help people with depression and all you have to do is talk to them.Studies have shown you can reduce a person's risk of committing suicide by just letting them talk to you about their problems.So,I just wanted to ask all of you here to become involved.If you know someone who is depressed or having some sort of problem just talk to them.



here is the video on it:

I suffered a severe depression following my mother's rather horrific death..i didn't really want to talk to anyone..however i never had any thoughts or feelings of suicide..but it's a nice gesture, Marie..

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

I'm sure it was depressing Izzy.I don't think anything hurts worse.I fear and dread the day my mother passes

 

[Frost King]

Yeah i feel depressed alot sometimes but i already have people to talk to i got you izzy and you marie to talk to so thats all i need.🙂 and i'm sorry about your mother passing izzy thats just something that is hard to get over i shudder at the thought of my mother passing.

 

[melanie2]

She died five years ago last April..she starved to death..she suffered depression with delusions..and at that time, she had signed papers refusing all treatments of any kind..so there was nothing i could do..it's funny...after the crying in the nursing home when the hospice nurse informed me that mom had just gone..and i hadn't made it in time..i never cried again til Christmas Eve..then i cried and cried..

 

[Frost King]

Thats so sad izzy i'm so sorry

What about those of us who are depressed but have a hard time trusting anyone anymore?

You just have to trust the hand that is reaching out to you.
For instance if you are drowning and a lifeguard jumps in to save you are you going to push him/her away and drown or are you going to trust that they have been trained well enough to do their job.I hope you would trust the lifeguard.I know I'd be devastated if someone pushed me away and wouldn't let me save them.I'd feel I had failed some how.

Well, under the circumstances I'd say I'd trust aforementioned lifeguard. I mean, I'd rather not die. But more to the lines of what I'm speaking to, I find it hard letting people in. Not so much you guys here at tt but like, everyone else. I dunno what it is about you guys, maybe just cuz there's a computer between us. I dunno.

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

You are not the only one.If you can trust us then,speak to one of us

sometimes it is easier to vent to someone privately online..and not face to face..

 

[The_Crusader]

How very very true. I will talk to you guys. If you've all got the time and patience for a kinda long and melodramatic story.
