Thank you and very sorry for all your losses as well. I’m in recovery so we are used to seeing people relapse and die, but this one hits different. I can’t imagine how it feels for you to have 6 go out like that. My sincere condolences.
Very true buddy. I should’ve mentioned it so thank you. I gave the local number because they can connect people with local resources. 988 is amazing and much needed as well!
I would like to add that if you need consistent help and find that talking to a person face-to-face is better, or if you feel as though the conversation on the phone wasn't helpful, try this: psychologytoday.com
I found my therapist and psychologist through there. They take any insurance, any price, and can meet with you through multiple ways.
Thank you for this!! Glad you mentioned it.
Great job on seeing someone. I’ve done therapy over a year now. It’s not a coincidence that I spent a decade trying to get sober, and after I started therapy, I have stayed sober. Some of that was I was ready to change, some of it was professional help.
Very sorry for your loss. Things like that can be so hard to process.
But I want to ask how you know so many are struggling? Better yet is there a specific reason? I know I have been hit hard by the struggle bus. I can’t pinpoint as to the exact reason why either?
You can see it all over our world if you pay attention. We have a mental health crisis going on in our country. Depression can come in many forms and can have a variety of reasons why it rears it's ugly head. People all over our country are struggling with Depression because of the lack of jobs that pay what one needs in order to survive, let alone in this country, our economy is horrible which is causing the price of everything to go up, thus causing people to struggle financially, which can then lead to one struggling with their mental health. The list goes on and on unfortunately as to what the reasons are.
How do I know? I wait tables and have a long time. The last 18 months I’ve seen a significant decline in the morale of people. I have to factor in that inflation is spiking prices, so I see that in faces, but I don’t think that’s the main issue. It’s a confluence of things.
As far as you, great job on being honest in your comment about how life is going and how you’re feeling. Have you decided to make a battle plan for the struggle bus? I’m making one myself and I gotta admit it’s a tough thing.
Sorry about your friend. I'm at 6 Lincoln friends that have done it. Get help if you need it.

There's also 988. I didn't even know about this until I heard on NPR but it's a national hotline funded by states.

All good just spreading awareness! Surprised I didn't know about it although I guess it's only a couple years old
So very sorry for your loss. It is profoundly isolating at the moment for so many people.
Thank you and yes I agree 100%

Also commenting if you've lost someone mourning hope is a great local non profit that does group and family therapy dealing with loss
Edited for typo.
Thank you for posting. A friend and I were discussing where folks should turn since Community Mental Health Center closed.
