Today a lady I respected so much for her kindness & gentle spirit was laid to rest. She lost her battle with depression. It just brings to light the subject once again. Depression is a hard illness to deal with. Sometimes you dont even know you are suffering from depression. You just dont feel normal. It is hard to ask for help when you cant quite understand what you are going on yourself. How do you put a name on something that is just a shadow in your mind? If someone seems a little off around you, or just not themselves. Go and ask them a few questions about their life & LISTEN to the background of the answers. If you just ask someone if they are okay, they will simply say yes. It is the way they talk, the negative undertones that can help you see what is really going on. Ask & ask again. I know this stuff because I have suffered from severe depression myself & had planned to commit suicide in the past. It is not something I talk about much as it was a dark time in my life. Luckily, I had Josh. But not everyone has someone just there checking on them. Take care of yourselves & each other. Rest in Peace Lara. This world is worse off without a beautiful soul like you.
