I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

AmbassadorLizzie when we loss loved ones some people are expecting to grieve in the same way with each bereavement, and are even more upset because they dont. this can be for many reasons, for example it could be the age of the loved one, how close you were to a certain person, how well they physically or emotionally knew a loved one. or lastly some of us may never have met a loved one for many reasons. or if physical events had taken place ,and a loved one could not be viewed by family and friends
this happened me was because, my son and i parted with bad blood between us, and when his baby daughter was born , and died age 50 minutes i was banned from attending her service or internment, her name was Rebecca Jade, but i called her Becky, and i bought her a small headstone and i go to her grave at least once a month with fresh flowers. i will always love my grandaughter, but possibly not as much as my Angel wife or son, who took his own life.?

Suicidal thoughts, not coping, how to get treatment without carrying out my plans?

Hello everyone,
How are you feeling today?
Living with depression can sometimes make it hard to recognize when you need support. For many of us, the decision to seek help comes after a long period of struggling alone. Whether it was feelings of hopelessness, physical manifestations, or simply reaching a breaking point, there is a moment when we realize it's time to ask for help.
When did you first realize you needed help for your depression? What were the signs or feelings that made you reach out to a professional or loved one?

Sharing your experience could really help others who may be struggling with similar feelings but are unsure if they should seek help.
Looking forward to hearing your stories,
