Suicide is a touchy subject but still needs to be discussed. Suicide affects millions around the world. What causes it? How do we stop it? In this video we look at these questions. I discuss signs of suicide as well as what it's like to face suicide. I am a suicide survivor and I want to share my experience with the world. Watch this video to learn more about suicide.

Depression Part 3

     Depression and Bipolar Disorder are real illnesses and can affect a life dramatically. In this video I talk about doing what you can, and not over doing it. I also discuss how being on a routine can help manage some of the symptoms of mental illness. July is disability pride month so lets celebrate the lives of those with a disability. Remember that people with a disability are people too. We need to come together and be the best we can be even with disabilities. 

Overcoming Depression

This week I decided to continue a series on depression. There are ways to help relieve some of the symptoms of depression. Finding a hobby or simply petting an animal can help overcome severe depression. In this video I discuss ways to overcome depression and help relieve some of the symptoms. I am no doctor nor am I a therapist but I live with chronic depression and bipolar disorder. I've lived with this since I was fourteen and I am now forty three. I know what depression is and I know what helps me. Sometimes depression wins while other times I can manage to force myself into doing something. I feel better after I use the tips from the video.
