Why is it that the real world doesn't seem to see or recognize the problems? I'm on effexor and I take ambien to sleep and I keep xanax on hand for panic attacks. I often wonder why I'm still around. So depression is no stranger to me. I found my way here from sarcasticmom.com. I clicked for Sarcastic - but I will see if I can get the link posted on my pages at Facebook and MySpace so others can click their way here too. Sarcastic, if you see this, y'all are in my thoughts and prayers. Mary What a sad story. Why is it that the real world doesn’t seem to see or recognize the problems?

Sadly, as an EMT for over 10 years, I've had my share of suicide patients. Outside of work, I've had quite a few people who were close to me die by their own hand. It's not something that anyone should have to deal with. <abbr><em>Visit Thomas to read...<a href="http://www.tomslatin.com/2008/12/25/merry-christmas" rel="nofollow">Merry Christmas?</a></abbr></em> Sad topic for sure, but an amazingly powerful post!

I cannot begin to understand what you must feel or be going through on a daily basis. My heart aches for you, I wish I could understand and somehow helps. And, in this story, do you know who I relate to? The mom. I can only imagine that she must have wanted to help her daughter but had no idea how to do it. She must have wanted - DESPERATELY - for her daughter to feel better, be happier, just be the way she used to be as a young child, but had no idea what to do. As a mom, I fear the reality that one day I will not know how to reach my child. I will want to say the right things, or give her space when the time is right, and I will undoubtedly mess it all up. But, no mater how much of a cold-hearted bitch that mom is, NO MOTHER deserves to be set up to find her daughter that way. I know a depressed person must not be thinking clearly, but that is so very sad to me to think that a teenager really equates their feelings of sadness with, "Here, I'll kill myself and they will be the one to find me. Let's see how THAT makes THEM feel." It makes me want to throw up. I bet 95% of teenagers go through a period of hating their parents. I know I did. But no matter how mad I was, or how much I hated my parents, I would never want to hurt them like that. Hell, I would never want to hurt anyone like that. I'm not saying that mom was justified for whatever she did or didn't do for her daughter, but she also didn't deserve to have her daughter's death purposely arranged for it to be forever emblazoned in her mind. That is so very, very sad. <abbr><em>Visit Texan Mama to read...<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WhoPutMeInChargeOfThesePeople/~3/492876235/inadequate-or-empowered.html" rel="nofollow">Inadequate?

During our Junior year me and J dated. We broke up our Senior year. 2 years after we graduated he shot himself. 11 years later I'm still dealing with the pain from it. I didn't go to his funeral because for me at that time it was easier for me to live in a world of denial about it. I regret every day not going and saying goodbye. <abbr><em>Visit Vicky to read...<a href="http://azmommy.blogspot.com/2008/12/graduation.html" rel="nofollow">Graduation</a></abbr></em> Growing up my brother had a best friend, we will call him J.
