Middle Brick Road

I cannot begin to say it enough, depression is a serious issue.

It really does hit home for me.

In my circle of family and friends, cutting and suicide or suicidal thoughts are not at all that uncommon.

For our youth, who too many now are pumped up on psychotic drugs, prescribed to them by doctors. Figuring out who you are can be the most tumultuous time in a teens life. And often the most depressing.

I remember the worst years of my life taking place in my early teens. That is why I am working on a letter to the 13-year-old me. The post is taking longer than I thought it would to write. The words are not coming as easily as I would like them to.

Not because I don’t know what to say, but because apparently trying to remember is very difficult. Maybe forgetting the pain, is how I overcame it. I don’t yet. I guess I am still figuring that one out for myself. And I guess you’ll find out when the post comes out.

For our soldiers in the military, Suicide is the most common cause of death.

I have my own ideas about why that is, but I am sure for one thing that killing innocent people in the name of collateral damage probably has a lot to do with it.

Here is one soldier’s account of his war crimes.

And another’s.

The drone strikes, the idea that if the people aren’t fighting those attacking us, they are just as bad as those attacking us . . . it all has to take its toll on the minds of the soldiers.

They are not weak for seeking help, and neither is anyone else.

If you need help, seek it. 

Seeking help is honorable.

Seeking help is necessary.

If you want to help, if you want to do good. Click on a picture – take your butt to Sevenly’s website and BUY a t-shirt!

Today I will be getting a shirt – you have until Monday morning to support TWLOHA through Sevenly.org

If you cannot get a shirt, you can still pass on the message.

Just by sharing this post, you are getting the word out, you are letting someone know that you care about this cause and more importantly that you care about them.

 Do your part to do good, if you can’t get a shirt, share the message.

Don’t be ashamed or scared to share it either! You may not even know it, but someone very close to you may need to know that you’re there for them, that they need you to be there to listen.
