Mental Illness

Why Go On?

Three Reasons To Live.

 

1) Because Things Change

2) Because There Is Help

3) Because There Is Hope.

 

Bringing the topic of suicide into the open can help a person with suicidal thoughts to consider other options.

Feeling alone, utterly worthless, with a crippling despair, many people have contemplated or attempted suicide. I am one of millions.

Things can change. Take it one day at a time. If things cannot change you can learn to change your outlook on the situation. Learning to accept things that you cannot change may help you to view things in a more positive light. This may help you to cope with the situation rather than to do something drastic to end it. The result is a feeling of control of what seemed uncontrollable.

There is help. By reaching out you can find your way out of the black abyss of depression. I did and you can too. Look for a good doctor that treats depression. Seek out people who care like family or friends who may have expressed concern for you. Suicidal thoughts often indicate the presence of depression. Depression can be treated. Find help by locating resources available to you like perhaps a suicide-prevention hotline or a hospital emergency room. The people there are trained to provide assistance.

There is hope. Some people feel utterly hopeless about life, alone, and worthless with no prospect for a better future. Is that how you feel?

REMEMBER THIS: Even if your emotions toss and turn like a boat on a stormy sea, hope can become like an anchor that keeps you stabilized.

You are not alone. I have battled and won and you can too.

Find hope and inspiration through my memoir.

Description

‘Escape’ is a true story that reveals how childhood sexual abuse and violence can lead to addictions, depression, and to the belief that suicide is our only escape. It shows how we can become empowered and find our way out of this vicious cycle. In this serious, yet entertaining and funny story, Karen tries running away from her haunting pain, only to find a seemingly endless amount of trouble to get into. Lost, feeling unworthy and alone, she speaks her innermost private thoughts through her prose, journals, and poems. Her feelings of fear, rage, and sadness start to breathe. Karen is the voice for all the ones who cannot speak as she clearly expresses her deepest emotions. Through her journey, we learn we are not alone and through her courage we find hope and inspiration.
