Depression and Suicide
A dear friend of mine is suffering from a deep depression and attempted suicide recently, happily unsuccessfully . I'm trying to get them some help and ran across some good information to share here in case anyone else might be feeling the same way.

When my husband and I were first married, his father committed suicide, successfully, after a failed attempt when hubby was in high school. His death scarred my husband terribly. The bitterness it left made it difficult for me to access mental health services, because of a lack of trust my husband felt towards the mental health system.
Now that I work in mental health part time, I take every single remark about suicide seriously.
I will pray for your friend, and you.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
