In the past, I've written about Suicide and Grieving. Now The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has come out with not only a video, but an entire sub-section of their web site to help those who are faced with depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses.
I have been diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety attacks.
I have a tendency to shut myself off from the rest of the world, and I'm definitely not big on crowds. I've gotten worse over the years, so you don't see me out socially like I probably should be.
This is a great start, particularly if you are experiencing the signs and symptoms addressed. It most definitely needs to be followed up with a trained professional to make sure others are aware who know about this best and know different methods to counter attack the negative thoughts and feelings.
If this is you, please know you are loved. Your needs are known.
