Some don't understand, some are frustrated that they won't get "better", some did get "better" and think others can do the same in the same way, the list goes on and on...

What it all comes down to is supporting these people and trying to help them on an individual level, talk to people, don't let someone carry the weight of the world on their shoulders alone, talk is probably the most powerful medication I can think of.

I know when I was about 4 or 5 and depressed/suicidal I would wish I was those kids in africa and they could take my place, because at least they wanted a chance(hell even some of my family members are still living in the 3rd world and sometimes I wish they could take my place). I know that may seem kind of morbid but I think it might help put into perspective what some deep depression can do to people. And how trauma can really effect people, and I don't want to get into it too much, but once again I want to bring up talking about it, it's healthy.
