Every night as I am getting in to bed I quietly, to myself, am thankful that I have my health, that my husband is beside me and my beautiful children are snuggled up in bed. Regardless of what else I have or dont have that is all I want and need in my life and it is enough and it makes me content. I do not suffer with depression, although I have my ups and downs like everyone else. I have been privy to someone elses illness and it is devastating and destructive to both themselves and the people around them. I have never walked in anyone elses shoes only my own so I cannot judge their path. While saying this I cannot understand how bad life would have to be to contemplate killing yourself never mind actually doing it. Please stop hoping a friend will come along to listen to your problems, the reality is we dont know that you are sad or ill because for the most part are way to busy trying to struggle through our own life as best we can. We only figure that out when its way to late. It is not because people dont care, its because we dont know. There is a lot of talk today about suicide due to Robin Williams(rip) and another loss of a young girl in Offaly. So many people saying we are here, please tell us, talk to us, etc thats not the reality of these situations. You can be surrounded by dozens of people and be completely alone with your problems. Please stop waiting for someone who wants to hear how you really feel, tell someone close to you, go to your doctor, seek counselling, take the meds and stay alive. Thats what they are there for. Give life its best possible chance. You never know whats around the next bend. You might even win the lotto.
