About 3 years ago, a depressed 23-year old girl standing on the side of the road thought about taking her life. She couldn’t handle the pain in her heart, endless mental torture and living in a hopeless world.
She figured that if only she made a few steps into the oncoming traffic, all the emotional battles would be gone. That, for once in the last 8 months, she’d be able to look herself in the mirror and smile.
Or so she thought. The screeching tyres, loud car horns, and screams from bystanders abated her thoughts. Not only had she been having suicidal thoughts, but she’d given way to them and walked right into traffic.
Did she attempt suicide? Were the thoughts she’d been having lately that dire? And had the situation come to this?
These were some of the questions in her mind as she backed away from the road and the judging faces of onlookers.
I don’t know what depressive battle you’re fighting today. I also don’t know how long you’ve been living with depression. But I can share tips on how to get through depression alone.
Are you ready?
