ReplyDeleteMy son had a serious issue with depression, he is in the Air Force and i think that makes it harder for him.
It is such a problem for our people, i always wounder why, it has to be something other than choice, i have looked at the suicide rates cor Native Americans since following your blog and having a depressed son.
I wish you well my friend, have a great day!

Depression is very hard because we either don't know we're depressed, we don't acknowledge it. We know something is wrong but not sure what.And the word Depressed is such a bad word we don't want to use it. People shrug it off as something normal. But being depressed in the worse way is not. I hope your boy does get someone to talk too. I am not sure if talking and listening helps, but I think it is all that doctors can offer.
ReplyDeleteI SOOO appreciate your commitment...wish you the best on this gathering!
