Tracey Maxfield suffered from severe depression. In her book, Escaping the Rabbit Hole: My Journey Through Depression, she describes how a ghost-like presence followed her, even whispered in her ear and told her all the ways she could do herself in. She called him DBS, or Death by Suicide.  Tracey says it was a battle, but she won.  It's a good thing because she was invited to speak to a group of middle school students about being an author but instead got questions about how they also can escape their rabbit holes.  Turns out Tracey learned the numbers when it comes to depression, self-harm and suicide amongst kids is alarmingly high, and so now she's made it a mission to spread awareness about mental health in schools.  Now that is a gift.
