I don’t know the subject title

Current mood: sad, contemplative, shocked, melancholy, mad

My cousin (ok, technically my cousin’s ex-husband & father of her kids, so really my cousin), a friend (friend & co-worker for about 10 years - view him on my myspace friends Tru450), and another friend (known him about 17 years) are gone. All to suicide. My cousin in 2006, my friends in June & October 2007.

Another

Saturday, October 13, 2007… Another friend committed suicide. I am in shock & stunned. Pretty much at a loss for words.

Hope

To all my friends…Please know there is hope. If you feel you cannot overcome an obstacle alone, then reach out to your friends, your family, your loved ones.

When people understand that mental disorders are not the result of moral failings or limited will power, but are legitimate illnesses that are responsive to specific treatments, much of the negative stereotyping may dissipate. Learn that depression is a treatable illness and the types of treatment available. Read about depression and clinical depression. Most of all - educate yourself. Get second opinions from doctors. Medication of the wrong kind or wrong dosage is fatal.
