You must become relentless: The clinically depressed individual struggles daily to survive. Their mind is the worst enemy they have and they often trapped inside their thoughts. They make assumptions about their interactions, sometimes become paranoid and have difficulty decided what is true. They feel alone in their pain because they are convinced they are a burden to their family and friends. 

They have a couple of friends in whom they may confide, but unless you have experienced the deep-rooted sadness and helplessness no one  can really understand the day to day and often moment to moment struggle of mental health disorders.  For the most part sufferers of mental health conditions conceal the fact they suffer with clinical depression because society can be cruel and accusatory.  The negative stigmas that surround mental illnesses encourage silence and seeking professional help is perceived to be a weakness.

Individuals who suffer from mental health disorders put on their game face every day to appear normal.  They are not faking when they seem fine and go hang out with friends. But, you have no idea how hard it was for them to get dressed and leave the house.  If they appear to be having a good time, this is probably true.  However, when they get home, sadness sets in and they begin to feel alone all over again.  Next, they must build up the courage to wake up and face another day that may be filled with misery.

If you are trying to make sense over the suicide of loved one do not blame yourself for their act.  There may not have been any warning signs so do not beat yourself up.  You can play back your last conversation in your mind but it is not your fault if you missed it. You will never know. They were likely already resolved about their decision to commit suicide. It was all about them and not about you. They were in such pain and sadness beyond belief and somehow they believed death was the only way to end their pain. They may not have thought about how their death would affect you.  Their mind said, end their existence, end the pain. There death is not your fault, this treacherous disease that effects so many lives is the real culprit.

The best help you can give to someone with a mental illness is to check on them, through a phone call, text, email or face to face visit.  Just don’t ignore them. Let them know you care and have thought about how they are doing. You can also encourage them to exercise, get at least fifteen minutes per day of sunshine, listen to upbeat music, keep a journal and set at least two attainable goals per day. Encourage them to seek professional help.

Do Not Give Up On Them

The friend who is suffering with a mental illness, is not asking you to be their therapist. They just need to know you care, are concerned and take this disease seriously. The lonely feelings are locked inside because they do not want to push anyone away. Being rejected drives a stake right through their heart and sets off a series of unhealthy thoughts that deepens their depression even more. Depression is a debilitating disease with ripple effects that  are spread far and wide. If you know someone who is depressed check on them, even if it's a simple text message, an email or e-card, but most of all help them feel they are not alone.

RECITE DAILY

Depression has no power in my life.  I have nothing to prove to anyone. I am my own person capable of holding my own and I do not need validation from anyone to determine my self-worth.  I will begin today making independent decisions based upon my needs. I will no longer place the needs of others before myself; I will stand up and fight for the convictions I am not willing to compromise. I know that my depression in part stems from other people who I have given to much power over my life.  Every day I will begin to make decisions that will reflect my beliefs and value system.  I want to heal and therefore I will take on difficult tasks and make better choices for the right reasons.

Struggling with sadness and low self esteem? Do you feel alone and overwhelmed?  Are you tired of your mental illness? Are you stressed out? Is your faith waning?

You are not your mental illness and recognizing you may need help takes courage. I applaud you for being taking the first step to help reduce feelings of overwhelm, pain and anxiety. 

Suicidal thoughts can really eep into one’s mind at anytime especially if you are dealing with clinical depression, or other mental health disorders. I know that trying to understand why someone would take their own life is the million dollar question. There is so much guilt that surfaces when someone we know commits suicide. 

Loved ones are pained tremendously and wonder whether they could have done anything to prevent such a final act. It is likely the individual suffered in silence for a period of time unbeknown to their family or friends. The stigma that surrounds mental health issues is real and so many mask their feelings to keep from feeling like a burden.  

The truth is you will probably never know the exact reason and there was likely nothing you could have done.  There may be warning signs but not necessarily.  

These debilitating mental health diseases do not discriminate but take many innocent prisoners and often times out of the blue. Suicide is an act perceived to be, “Selfish.” The loved ones left behind must literally pick up the pieces and try to move on with their lives.  Unfortunately, most individuals who have dealt with clinical depression have more than likely contemplated suicide.

I know that trying to understand why someone would take their own life is the million dollar question. There is so much guilt that surfaces when someone we know commits suicide. 

All of the questions about, “Why,” come up. 

Loved ones are pained tremendously and wonder whether they could have done anything to prevent such a final act. It is likely the individual suffered in silence for a period of time unbeknown to their family or friends. The stigma that surrounds mental health issues is real and so many mask their feelings to keep from feeling like a burden.  The truth is you will probably never know the exact reason and there was likely nothing you could have done.

This episode shines the light on why you should not commit suicide and how this act has a catastrophic effect on those around you.
