Overcoming Depression: My story

Overcoming Depression My story  I suffered from depression for many years and it no joke either,  depression is a serious health issue we all face.  Both of my brother’s committed suicide because they didn’t know a way through it. They were unhappy with their lives.  But there is no excuse for committing suicide you end up hurting more people than you think. I remember my brother leaving a note when he  shot himself in the head with a gun and it was tragic. People still ask  me how did I hold up like I do now? Simple! You just face it with courage. I saw the light of the universe there is a way to happiness and peace,  each experience teaches us something important so we can grow from it.  In my case my brother’s deaths showed me that I can be a better person be strong for myself within loving my inner child daily. You too can love yourself if you let yourself do that,  you are apart of this universe God has something planned for u...

Wanting to commit suicide? Read this first. I have had two siblings commit suicide the youngest brother died at the age of 26 and I was only 9 years old. How can a child cope with trauma of traumatic suicide? My oldest took his life when I was 28 he was 52 when he died and it was hard as our father had a stroke before the suicide.

I've had my share of it when I was 30 after I was sexually assaulted by my ex and continued to harass me online. I know how cruel kids can be too as I was 16 when I got bullied and that nearly made me commit suicide. We face these experiences for a reason so we can help other's overcome suicidal thoughts. Sadly the mental health system in New Zealand is shocking they pop pills don't get to the real root cause the only thing that I found was CBT congitive behavioral therapy was helping me see my tragic loss I've had as a tool to self impr...

Overcoming tragedy of suicide

Overcoming tragedy of suicide  I know how it feels to lose a person through suicide, it never the easiest experience. I’ve lost two brother's to suicide and it had a big impact on my life. No one knows what it truly feels to go through trauma at a young age of 9 when my youngest brother took his life in 1995, they didn't talk about suicide or even get kids therapy to get through their loss instead my mother didn’t know how to handle it or tell a child the truth. She didn't tell me until I was sixteen which made me struggle with depression. She regrets and now understands suicide. So, I spent years trying to accept my loss instead at the age of 28 my oldest brother took his life by using a gun to his head blowing his brain's. Trust me it was hard. I struggled as my father had a stroke few days before it happened it didn't feel real at all, felt a lot of guilt but we shouldn't be feeling guilty of the person's death as they chose to end their life. So how do w...
