I have depression. I've even attempted suicide once. It wasn't what I expected in the slightest. It was far more terrifying. The scariest part wasn't that I could've died though. It was that I survived. Not saying I wish I would've died, but when you live through something like that, you see what comes after. You have to face the people who you hurt, and you'll be surprised by how many stand with you. I learned more from that day than anyone will ever know; about myself, about depression and about the people around me. I realize everyone experiences this differently but this is my fight and if it could help someone else, then the worst moment in my life wasn't for nothing and I might even say was worth it. (This was written by my son about his struggle with depression....follow his story somewhere over the squiggly line).
