Many people think that a suicide attempt is a selfish move because the person just does not care about the people left behind. I can tell you that when a person gets to that point, they truly believe that their loved ones will be much better off with them gone.This is mental illness not selfishness. TRUTH: Depression is a terrible disease and seems relentless. A lot of us have been close to that edge, or dealt with family members in a crisis, and some have lost friends and loved ones. Let's look out for each other and stop sweeping mental illness under the rug. Let's all of us stop talking about only depression. Let's start a conversation about how everyone is affected by mental illness and find the new language about mental wellness. Let's get rid of the word normal and realize that normal is only a setting on the dryer. Let's get on the same positive attitude with conversation about mental health illness (what ever that is) let's have a conversation about a every single person alive wants exactly the same love, acknowledgement, respect for every single person requires these to be able to connect, to live. Nobody wants to be treated as if they don't deserve the best of life and living.
