I am by no means a professional, but I am someone who has been through and goes through still bouts of depression and suicidal thoughts. I have never used a forum like Word Press to talk or share about my “Dark Thoughts” or depression. However seeing as how the number of suicides are increasing because of lack of awareness I felt as though I should speak up and try to be a light or beacon of hope for someone out there.

In the coming days and posts I will reveal my struggles and experiences/thoughts and hope that it encourages you to share your story not just here but everywhere so that we can work together to remove the stigma from depression an suicide and create a support for anyone dealing with these struggles.

I look forward to our journey together and all of your support and stories as well as mine, please don’t be afraid to share.

your pal,
