Mental depression is real take it seriously. PS: Take depression seriously folks.
@Elie M We have a need to go further than that right now based on people’s behavior. That behavior is the amount of time we have spent online per day that has increased in the last 5-10 years. Of course people go through more than one depression, is that not based somewhat on what people experience online?
The worst about it? If a person is suffering with depression, most people in his life will leave him/her, friends stop being friends, and just abandon them. This is the most tragic thing, since it only makes it worse…
Every place in the world sucks with handling mental health. No venting, help, support, or trying to help self improvement.
You can vent here, you can also suggest improvements that will assist in your area.
While driving down the road in my home state 15+ years ago I see a suicide prevention hotline billboard. Literally the next sign down the road was a Nike billboard featuring a shoe and their infamous “Just do it”. So just call the hotline, or just do it? It lasted about a week before the Nike sign was relocated about two miles down the road.
That’s deep
That’s crazy. I wonder if someone called and notified the sign company. I understand the mistake but geez you your mind you like just give me a sign and literally there were two signs..
Tiffany Lincoln hotline sign was up for almost two years. The Nike sign was new.
The sign was telling you to just call
Wow…that’s just crazy
My best friend slipped through my hands, and took his life.. Depression is ugly, and all consuming.. I missed key signs looking back, but he perfected looking happy.. God Rest The Souls Of Those Lost To Suicide..
@Lisa Kuzma The unanswered questions is the hardest part.. Sorry for your loss, and keep her alive in your heart.. Aloha.
@Chance Tough Yep. Almost 30 years.
Chance Tough, sorry for your loss. I also lost one of my best friends to suicide last year. I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. Thank you for sharing.
@Eddie Washington Sorry for your loss.. Garnett lives in my soul, as I hope your friend does you.. There was a long time I got pissed at how selfish he was with his life.. Now its all about the trouble we would get into as kids.. First dates, jobs, the birth of my twin boys, his daughter.. I am 36, and that was 6yrs ago now.. Get right in your minds eye is something he said a lot.. Aloha Eddie my heart feels you..
Many people don’t take mental health seriously. That’s dangerous.
FYI: Michael Phelps also suffered depression (!)
Having a child with clinical depression is one of the scariest and hardest things to go through. My heart goes out to him.
Mental health is so important, and what most of us don’t take care of. Rest in peace 🙏
HaniaGamer there is no peace for someone who suicide himself
Prince also suffered from Depression. It’s never talked about. I also lost a loved one, being my Father due to Mental Illness. Had the stigma not been there in his younger years he’d be here today holding his Granddaughter. I am a Mental Health worker and advocate for MI. Untreated MI and drink/ drugs is how one self medicates. All my heart and love to your son and family. We will fight.
Plz, reconsider if you’re thinking of suicide. You take a part of your family with you when you die. My heart breaks for his Dad and the rest of his family and friends.
R.I.P. Avicii.
It’s sad because we have so many newly tested cannabinoids that have been shown to treat depression.
His music will always give us hope, his music was always positive, warm, and touching the kindness and love in everyone’s heart, you will always be loved avicii, may your soul rest in peace ❤❤
I’m a 61 year old parent, and I don’t know the gentleman but this is about bringing me to tears,I would fuking fall apart if my son or daughter committed suicide… I’m just telling it like it is. Peace be with you brother
….heyyy grandpa watch your language
That’s the key. Here you had a man that loved his craft so much because it made so many people happy and yet inside he was still not happy. I think his management saw the signs and ignored them because there was just too much greed and money at play. We’ll always love you Tim……❤️
