Halloween is about wearing masks to be scary, but what’s really scary are the people who have to wear masks all year long to protect themselves. They have to hide their broken hearts, their crushed spirits, and their tortured souls out of fear of possible repercussions from the people of this world.

The most frightening horror isn’t a character from a movie. It’s hidden from sight, but it’s not a ghost. It’s claimed more lives than all other monsters combined. This evil is called depression and suicide as a result.

Right now, someone is struggling to find a reason to live. Someone is crying their eyes out because they feel alone, unwanted, and unnecessary. Someone is feeling hopeless and unloved. Someone is about to end their life. Right now, someone could really use your love.

Depression is a monodrama. You’re the hero of the story & also the villain who’s trying to destroy you. The final act hasn’t been written & is still a work in progress. You can survive & live happily ever after, or, unfortunately, become the victim of the villain, & the show will end in suicide.

Once, we feared the darkness because it hindered our ability to see and played tricks on our minds by making us believe things that weren’t there. Now, with depression, the darkness resides in our minds. The tricks it plays are more dangerous. This darkness can kill and will if not escaped.

Severe clinical depression isn’t cured by what a person has or how good their life is. It won’t be by a motivational phrase, a pep talk, or a simple change of mind. Their minds are unwell. They may need professional help depending on the seriousness of the problem they are experiencing.

A broken heart can lead to a life that no longer exists. Many things can break a heart. There’s loneliness, hopelessness, and abuse, to name a few. These things can destroy a person. They can make suicide feel like a blessing.

I’m so sorry to read that. I’m sure it hasn’t been easy for you. Hopefully, you have some people close to you that you can confide in and share how you’re feeling?

The Heimlich maneuver isn't the only technique that can be used to save someone when their life is being choked out of them; sometimes, a hug can do the same thing.

Make sure you love the people around you today because tomorrow they may be gone due to suicide. That love could be what’s needed to save their lives and keep them here tomorrow.

When someone’s dream is to forever sleep by a suicide lullaby, they are indeed living in a nightmare. They deserve to be awakened to a healthy and happy reality, filled with love and compassion from those closest to them, and proper treatment administered by those who are there to heal and protect.

Before dying by suicide, say goodbye to your loved ones face-to-face. You'd be surprised how many will grab you and not let go. You'd be amazed by all the support and pure compassion you receive. Don't discount your loved ones. They care and need you more than you realize. You are not alone!

Those struggling with depression and who are suicidal as a result don’t understand why the people around them can’t hear their screams. The screams are loud in their head, but unfortunately, silent on their lips. There’s a smile stifling the sound from being heard, but in their head, it’s chaotic.

Suicide due to mental illness is the euthanasia of one’s body because their mind is suffering from what they believe to be an incurable condition. The body is put to sleep due to a tortured soul. This isn’t dying with dignity. It’s a life lost because people failed them.
