no matter how many times you put this out nobody's really going to care about elemental health except for the ones who are going through it, I've been going through it for a very long time and I try to help others battle it while battling myself, sometimes I take my own advice and sometimes it's hard for me to

i suffer from PTSD and before I was able to understand it I tried killing myself and ended up in the hospital suffering more. someone special came into my life and now I have them to talk to on my lowest days. its an everyday struggle.

I dont know if its just because I've been there, but you can see it in all of them. there's this emptiness, a sort of sadness no one can understand there.

I remember the day I put the garbage over my head, tied it around my neck and put my 9mm to my temple. I didn’t want to leave a mess. I don’t know why I’m still here. All my men from the 1/504th are dead now. I’m the last, I’m alone.

I struggle with suicidal thoughts on the daily just like millions of others. but I didn't want to go just yet so I created a family to keep me going. I've had my days but never could I just leave my children like that. just the thought of how devastated their hearts would be if they woke up one day and daddy was gone.

My cousin was a cop and he killed himself this year. Homie was always happy to see the family. One day he got into a minor car accident, called his wife then shortly after they hung up he shot himself. I wonder what was going through his mind. He knew we loved him, but I know now that love is not enough.

some of the most important men in my life did my father, my uncle and three of my brothers all took their own life. I've tried twice myself I just hope that people realize things that they do and say to people can make the difference in somebody doing that if you're not sure if somebody's okay ask them try to do the best that you can to help I wish I would have known that my brothers were feeling that way so maybe I could have done something I live with that everyday just wondering what I could have done that would have changed it.

It’s very bad when people are depressed, but you have to keep in mind. This life you have was given to you as a gift from God and your mother. It’s not for you to take only for you to use and do your best and be happy with the fact that you tried Whether you make it or not at least you tried

It’s the swing that shows it for me. My brother has depression and I was lucky enough to be able to catch it. And that’s all it is, is luck. It’s not your fault if you can’t see it. I just got lucky. I couldn’t always see it. People with depression aren’t constantly sad…they’re either too happy or too sad. They feel everything with all of their might! Both the good and the bad, one day, the swing from good to bad is too much for them and they feel EVERYTHING, wanting to feel nothing. Just know if you’re reading this and thinking about doing this, there is more than just hope for you…there is a rich life filled with life’s greatest lessons, meant to be passed on to someone you know or someone younger than you, or someone else struggling just like you that you can help to live a better life than yours. You will always have a purpose, even in death. Wait for your purpose to come, and wait for your death to come naturally. Find the happiness and comedy in the tragedy we call life.

Almost 13 yrs ago (next month), my oldest son committed suicide 3 weeks b4 his 30th bday, leaving behind 4 kids. They are not better off without him & our family fell apart. I lost myself to the bottle for 6 yrs trying to find peace. It still has not come, we all feel his absence every day. Please don't think it will be easier on anyone after, it won't.🙏🙏🙏

Nobody realizes when a man is severely depressed and ready to end it until it’s too late. It’s really hard to talk about our mental problems with people because we think they don’t give a shit. And they probably don’t. We keep our emotions and feelings bottled up until we can no longer take the pressure. And asking for help makes a man feel weak. Which adds to the depression. It’s a vicious black hole that has no escape.
