One of the things that marvelled me the most was how she channeled her emotions through meditation. I have never given mediation much thought. I thought it was hocus pocus. I also thought I didn’t have the patience or the imagination to meditate. Maybe I will give it a try. I was making excuses.
After weeks of feeling sorry for myself. Cancelling out on exciting opportunities and letting my depression get the better of me. I do not want to make excuses anymore.
August 31 was world Overdose and Awareness day and September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day. I have been thinking about people who have died from overdose, addiction and suicide. Thankfully I have not overdosed nor been addicted to drugs or alcohol. I have had suicidal ideations including one severe ideation 19 years ago. I was on vacation and was having an extremely low time. I strongly thought about not coming home. Nobody would care if I didn’t return.
I am very happy that I reached out and called my father. There was no judgement, just a simple how can I help? Four of the most important words one can ever say to another person.
So, tomorrow light a candle for all those who have died by suicide. It is not a sign of weakness. Be strong be brave be kind be supportive and be like Bianca. She is amazing and so are we.
