Depression and Suicide

Sometimes depression can cause people to feel like putting themselves in harms way, or killing themselves. Although the majority of people with depression do not die by suicide, having depression does increase suicide risk compared to people without depression.

If you are thinking about suicide, get help immediately:

* Call your doctors office.
* Call 911 for emergency services.
* Go to the emergency room of the nearest hospital.
* Ask a family member or friend to take you to the hospital or call your doctor.
* Call the toll free, 24 hour hotline of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1 800 273 TALK (1 800 273 8255) to be connected to a trained counselor at the suicide crisis center nearest you.

It's 12:39 AM and I'm awake. My chest feels heavy and thoughts are racing in my mind at speeds of over 300 mph. I know the signs of an anxiety attack when I see one and this is the real deal. I hate being like this and I hate this feeling... the fucked up thing is that a few hours ago I was fine, relaxed and at ease. Hell I even helping a close friend through an unexpected anxiety attack of his own. Did I fuck up karma? Why do I now get to have one of these... I keep telling myself that I need to just relax, breathe and calm the fuck down. Zen thoughts Terry... zen thoughts!

Hmm... what's even more fucked up: an anxiety attack or someone who grabs the camera? I think both... the jury is still out on this one.
