Life, death and a scoop of ice cream

Her last breath
My name is Rose, I Commited suicide 21 days ago now. I wander around watching over my family and see their pain and their hurt....but they didn't see mine. I was good at hiding that better than even I knew. My family loved me very much and I know they miss me...before I reach the light I need to tell my story... Why it came to this.

Quieting the mind
Fighting your mind The way I will describe depression is like your personal hell. You are forever consumed by the fire in your head, and this sucks all your energy and the joy that you have in you, living you more dead then alive.

Where do I begin? Even as I type this now, I have no idea how to explain it. I guess I should start with an example I remember the clearest.

The Hidden Pandemic
Everyone is focusing on the fact there is a deadly virus killing millions by the second, spreading like wild fire and ruining everyone's lives. However, there is something that is taking peoples lives under our noses without anyone properly taking notice. Many of the young people are struggling.Stuggling to live. Struggling with school work, but some are slowly falling into black holes that they don't know how to get out of by themselves.

The Gulf
Hi.. Started a new job few days ago... that got me really depressed now. It is just really sad. Yesterday, I was so depressed that I couldn't even talk and I couldn't stand it myself and had to call a friend up to talk a bit. Then I guess after I talked to her a bit, I think I was able to let it go a bit and not feel so bad now. I asked her if she can tell the severity of my depression and she said she could and can even give it a range from 1 to 10. I am quite surprised that she can tell that. It's the first time I've asked her that, so I am surprised of her answers.

The Pressure of a Teenager
My emotions are in a bottle. The lid is somewhere around my chest and it hurts as it tightens. Twisting to keep everything inside, so that nothing leaks out. But they weren’t always like this. They used to pour out of my body like a broken fountain.

Giving Voice - Part 2
These are my favorite kinds of days, warm sun, and cold breeze. It is perfect hoodie weather. So, I took a walk. I listened to some classics on my headphones and did my best to ignore the vehicles flying by. It reminds me a lot of my life right now, just trying to keep my head down and ignoring the near misses flying by. I remember being actively engaged in life, much like one would remember a favorite childhood birthday, pleasant and warm but foggy and without detail.

“I Want To Die, Please Help Me live!”
Words fail me when describing the day that I wanted to take my life. The very thought of attempting to write about that dark chapter led me first not to a pen or a piece of paper but back to those ambivalent and all-consuming emotions that I never wanted to recall; moments I wanted erased from my memory forever.

Depression is a Ten Letter Word. Top Story - January 2021.
New year’s resolutions can be a tricky thing to stick with, especially since good habits...and bad ones, I suppose, can take about thirty days to develop. With perseverance and grit, continuing that resolution of hitting the gym, eating healthier, or even just spending less time on social medias can become second nature. And each year our society has us conditioned to set up some overarching goal to challenge the best within ourselves. Last year, quarantine left my friends on their own with workout challenges, binge-watching The Outer Banks (no, I haven't seen it yet, John B.), and learning how to fail at becoming Tiktok famous. I watched strangers across the internet pick up new hobbies and recreate themselves in truly unique ways.

Life Does Get Better
Over 264 million people of all ages suffer from depression globally, according to the World Health Organization. That's a lot of people each with varying types and stages but all equally important. Depression is categorized as a state that can cause long periods of sadness or loss of interest in many things. Depression can take ahold of peoples lives quickly by making it so they have difficulty focusing, doing physical exercise and some depression is severe enough that people choose suicide over continuing to battle their symptoms.
