8. Her loss made me sad too

And I always understand when I hear of a suicide. I know what suicidal thinking feels like.

I've been there, too recently. I was lucky, I told people what was happening to me, I told my doctor and went to see her right away and my meds were changed around and are working better.

I am sad for the people who aren't lucky and sink into it too far to reach out for help. I am sad for their families and hope they understand that their loved on died because of illness, not because they didn't want to be with them.

When I got super-depressed about 6 weeks ago, I laid in bed and cuddled my dog as much as she would let me. She matters to me, my husband adores her but she would miss me and not be able to know why I was gone.
