Sadly, we don’t always know the depths of someone’s depression until it is too late. May I please have even 1 friend to copy and re-post? I am trying to demonstrate that someone is listening. Just one. Anyone.
I'm not one of those people who forwards these kinds of messages on on Facebook, but this blog has carried messages on depression, suicide, substance abuse disorders, addiction, and the need to listen to and respect and help everyone who needs it since we started this project. I have lost a lot of people to depression, suicide, and substance abuse disorders over the years.
We should not have to plead for people or for attention and help.
If you're that person who needs the hand up or the shoulder, or if you know someone who does, here are some numbers. If you're that person wondering or doubting if this does any good, here are some memes to help you think it through.
(This blog supports the creation of a national healthcare service and Medicaid for all, and we believe that healthcare is a human right.)
