If you are suffering from suicidal thoughts or suspect a friend or family member is depressed there is help. Please contact a doctor who can suggest a professional to help deal with your thoughts and prescribe prescription drugs to help combat the negative thoughts. Depression can be beat.
Many of us eyes too long and when we can't get what we want we call it depression. SCRATCH DAT!!! I have had many bouts with depression, even to the point of ending it. But I snap out of it real fast when I realize that this life is not about me, its about whose lives I can touch, especially my family (she had a young son). I chose to deny myself, bag the selfishness and move on.
Depression is real and I know that, even Jesus was depressed when he asked His Father, "why have thou forsaken me", but guess what, He persevered in order that we might persevere through our own sorrows. Criticize me if you must, but to me suicide is just plain spineless selfishness.
I sense a bit of hatred in your statement but I would like to caution you that it could be your daughter or son one day making such a dreadful mistake so don't judge the book by the cover. Some people are just too weak to handle the truth and led astray after being offered the world. Although I respect your position, a life was lost that could have been save because there are more fishes in the sea.
He was stuck in a moment that he couldn't get out of and that's why I reiterate that Suicide is never the way. He should have taken it one step at a time and let time numb the pain while carrying on. Professional help in the way of counselling is effective since the person has an outlet (If they take it serious) to vent, discuss and set goals to tackle what is bothering them. Prescription drugs work, but they aren't for everyone. I had a friend on Prozac and other similar drugs that pretty much numbed her and kept her stoic and unfocused. I had another who became to dependant on it and started to abuse it. Plus the side effects.
One step at a time. Help is the first.
RIP Yayi
Would you have been more understanding if she was ugly?????? struuupppes
Would you be saying 'leave it alone" if this behavior actually becomes an epidemic especially among young people in this community? Would you say that when they start dropping by the dozens????? I agree that depression is real and like I said, I've been there.
@pay it off. You don't need a friend like me if you want a friend who is not going to keep it real. Too many times folks want friends to tell them what they want to hear and not the truth. I am not the one. While I do believe that depression is a chemical imbalance that affects so many parts of the mind including the ability to cope, I also believe that you must be in a state of denial for quite some time for it to escalate to that degree. If my friend needed someone to encourage her to wait on another woman's husband, then no, I was not her friend. She had people telling her, girl move on with you life the man don't want you and another group telling her, she is the better woman. I was one telling her, "get your own man".
You are speculating she had a man problem (we don't know), however, we live in an age where we see men lie and cheat all the time, WHY DO WE EVER, EVER, EVER, think it is ok to let our guards down? Even when you're married, you need to give yourself some time (at least two years, to evaluate consistency on his part) before you let your guard down. In doing so, when truth rears it's ugly head the heart won't be caught off guard. I have a heart and I also have children to. My lesson to them is: Every area of your life is to be managed, be your own CEO. Manage and set boundaries on love by relying on your own expectations, not expectations of another, manage your career, manage your faith, manage your destiny. Depend on self to make you who you want to be so when you receive your certificate, no one-else can take credit.
Why you chose to use the word hate, baffles me. The problem with this society is that when we used to have real God-fearing parents, they use to tell us, don't hang yuh hat higher than yuh could reach it. Today, the trend is, do whatever it takes to get what you want. Steel for it, lie for it, manipulate for it, screw for it and if you get it, you are a hero, if you don't, you get depressed and because you can't come to terms with the fact that you didn't get what you want, you spiral into an abyss of suicidal thoughts. We don't need to pity some people we simply need to show them how to KEEP IT REAL.
@ Nick, I already said what I needed to say about people like you in my second post.
@ The Eye, did it occur to you that her depression may not have occurred if she was focusing on what and who was most important? Let’s go with your theory, that she came to this country knowing nobody and didn’t know how to handle it, do you know there is something called “go back home?” Again, let’s say she don’t want to go back home and decide she is going to latch on to your husband for survival (like some Dominican Republicans do) would you be singing the same tune. She posted on her facebook page that, “I know many of you would be glad to see me dead”. If it was your man she was latching on to, you would be the first one to cry, Amen, when you heard she was dead.
So stop mistaking my candidness for hatred and begin to help this generation to keep it real like our grand and great-grand parents thought us. We yuyy hole dem too long. Stay in your lane, stay focused, manage your life and expect good from no one but yourself. The bible warns us not to trust your right hand to let it know what the left hand is doing. In this day an age we need to see people as animals (dogs), the onus is on them to prove themselves human. Then and only then you can run the green light and begin to developing trust.
@ Mick Mac, like I said, we always want what we can’t have and by the time we catch ourselves, we are neck deep in medication. Jesus is the answer don’t study people like Nick, they believe that God don’t exist, but when they fall in a deep hole, the first shout they bawl out is, “OH GOD!!!!!!”
When you dig a hole for me, dig 2...one for u...read the book of Esther and see what Haman's end was....Esther 7: 10.
We can only save what could be saved by keeping it real and stop encouraging people to continue fooling themselves, and there is no hatred in that, so I hope you have changed your views of me.
You now have no Voice| Speculations | YOUR SON! | Your Family | YOU! #No man
Get it together and stop talking rubbish!!!!!!!
