Many of you know about my struggles with mental health and with suicide
And also know some of my road to recovery.
It has been hard but it has been worth it. I cannot tell you what sort of wretched state i was in but it was not good and i got help which didn't work so I tried again.
I wonder if this runs in the family, i think my mum had depressive episodes in her life, but did not know what it was.
September 10th was World Suicide Prevention Day. Ironically, it is also the anniversary of my grandmother passing, I wish she had got the help i did.
I’m so sorry that you have had to deal with these issues. Mental health issues are so cruel. I’ve watched my ex wife and then my sister hit the lowest of lows and it is heartbreaking to watch. I just felt helpless and I guess in someways I was.
I still feel mental health stole my marriage away from me.
Anyway all the best in your journey glad you are on the road to recovery.
I've told you before, and I will keep repeating it, I'm glad you've fought this all the way, not giving in. You are beautiful, you have so much to offer the world. I'd wished your grandmother had got the help you did. I hope others will seek and get the same help you did. Thank you for being around. 💜
I definitely think there is a genetic component to depression. I’ve seen it in my great-grandmother, my grandmother, my father, and my sister. Seemingly one person in every generation. Not always the same severity.
