You have no doubt seen or heard the commercials: "Where does depression hurt? EVERYWHERE. Who does depression hurt? EVERYONE." Mental illnesses can consume you, take over your entire life and hurt everyone around you if you let it. I am no exception.

My life feels like I am stuck riding on a rollercoaster in the middle of a hurricane. I have ups and downs, and I have left a path of destruction in my wake. My sanity dangles on a tiny fragile string, and through this blog I am giving the world a look into my broken mind and my unstable life.

In the end, I am just a girl trying to maintain my sanity in a candy-coated world of misery. Here you'll get a glimpse at just how true those commercials are. Keep your arms and legs inside the blog at all times, hold on tight, and prepare yourself for a very bumpy ride ...

Shit .... suicide is never the answer

I don't know very many details but I just found out that one of my younger brother's friends from our hometown committed suicide. They haven't been close since they got out of school, so I know my brother hasn't talked to him in several years, but they were really good friends for many years. Actually, he was one of only two good friends my brother ever had.

How the hell do I tell my brother about it? I'm sure he doesn't know yet. I only heard about it because of Facebook/Myspace.

It also hits me really hard because I was once best friends with the guy's older sister. My brother and I spent so much time at their house. I've known that kid since he was probably 10 years old.

Seriously, how in the world do I tell my brother? He's been dealing with so much of his own depression lately that I'm not sure he can handle hearing that one of his friends killed himself. I'm barely handling it myself right now. I am crying so hard as I type.

I may have suicidal thoughts sometimes, but I know it's never the answer. My problems will eventually pass. Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems. It's so selfish. You may end the pain you're feeling at the moment, but you create a lifetime of pain for everyone you leave behind.

I just stumbled across your blog, but I am really sorry for your loss. Struggling with a mental/personality/emotional disorder is hard enough without the traumas and losses that are often our triggers or the very things that give us these disorders... :(

OMG!! just pray. For now dont tell your brother about it.I'm a suicidal person too and you are definitely right, suicidal is a permanent solution but we are too selfish if we just think about our own selves right? and it is not healthy. Thank God I finally relized that.
