simple solutions…

I grow tired of the repaired, reconstructed, and rebuilt. I envy many of you who have faced your challenges (depression, suicide, overdose attempts, and so much more).
In all those moments you have made your life easier.
In these comments I commend you, but for many of us the battle of psych freedom is a road longer, darker, and perilous.

I am not trying to compare who is more ill (or was) but staying “just pull yourself out of it” is like a blind parent talking to a child who can see, touch, and taste the sorrow around them.

I am older than many of the people in the group.
I have bi polar disorder and like most of us I take a handful of pills everyday. My wife (who I adore) was crying a few days ago over a small argument we had and I asked her why she was still upset and her response was “I just want you to be normal!” A reaction like that is just another push to real actual suicide.

Often I will feel like things maybe ok following a psychiatric appointment, but in that same day, even same minute I know that my life is null.
so before you criticize those who are lost or hurt and you are newly created, remember this… “just get over it” does not work. Gradual soft reinforcement is the real way to help those in need.
