Im ok with sharing this about myself if it saves even one life. But this isnt about me. This is about suicide. Something about such a beloved person who, while seemingly happy inside, fought his own personal demons to the point to where it seemed the only way to quiet them was the finality of death. However, had it not been for my good friend Travis W and my dear friend Angela L and the loss of her close friend to suicide, I very well may have suffered the same fate as Robin a few years ago. I never told anyone what torturous and personal battles I was going through, because I felt alone and was fighting an overwhelming and uphill battle. The blows just seemed to keep coming and my resistance wore down to the point of indifference and apathy. Everyone was busy. Or so I had figured in my own mind that they were, and convinced myself they wouldnt be interested in hearing me complain or whine about my problems. Thats what depression does to you. It convinces you that youve been abandoned and theres only one way out of the empty, dark void and that is but to join it. We all know someone like this. My nephew and my friends saved me from myself. Theres a chance one of yours may need you. And if youre one of the ones in need - Im here. And Ive been there. Life is worth living. I promise.
