Struggling with sadness and low self esteem? Do you feel alone and overwhelmed?  Are you tired of your mental illness? Are you stressed out? Is your faith waning? Has anxiety turned your life upside and has caused loneliness? Are you worried and fear you will not fulfill your purpose? You are not your mental illness and recognizing you may need help takes courage. I applaud you for being taking the first step to help reduce feelings of overwhelm, pain and anxiety. 

Suicidal thoughts can really eep into one’s mind at anytime especially if you are dealing with clinical depression, or other mental health disorders. I know that trying to understand why someone would take their own life is the million dollar question. There is so much guilt that surfaces when someone we know commits suicide. 

Loved ones are pained tremendously and wonder whether they could have done anything to prevent such a final act. It is likely the individual suffered in silence for a period of time unbeknown to their family or friends. The stigma that surrounds mental health issues is real and so many mask their feelings to keep from feeling like a burden.  

The truth is you will probably never know the exact reason and there was likely nothing you could have done.  There may be warning signs but not necessarily.  

These debilitating mental health diseases do not discriminate but take many innocent prisoners and often times out of the blue. Suicide is an act perceived to be, “Selfish.” The loved ones left behind must literally pick up the pieces and try to move on with their lives.  Unfortunately, most individuals who have dealt with clinical depression have more than likely contemplated suicide.
