“My son is the reason I am still here and able to be a part of this project today. When he was little I was in such a hole, full of depression and I didn’t even know it. I thought about taking my life. Different ways of ending it. I even went as far as thinking about my family coming to my house and seeing crime tape. It was because of my son and that image in my head that I was able to walk past a medicine cabinet and a gun case to my husband. I told him what I was thinking and how I felt. I literally felt like I was drunk or on drugs. The next day I went to see my doctor but told him I was ok and I didn’t know what I was thinking. He baker acted me for 2 days. I woke up the second day and realized I was not ok. I was so out of it. It was like I was outside of my body looking in. I got the help I needed and I am so glad I am now better. Depression is something so serious, and unless you suffer from it or know someone who does, you would not understand too well. Dont be afraid to get help, someone in your life needs you!”
