I was shocked and very surprised at the reaction of a few people when I broached the subject a few days ago.
One called me "sick". One called for removal of my post and that did happen. I believe that in this day and age, we all must be aware of severe depression around us. I am still trying to understand the reaction to my post.
Above all, I want you to know that I meant in no way to be insensitive or callous. None of us is immune to overwhelming sadness and hopelessness at times. |
Obviously the ones who complained and thought you are insensitive, do not know you at all! I only know you from TOTV however I will never forget that you were the kindest person to me when I first joined and I've never forgotten that. I didn't see your post regarding suicide however I know a few people who have committed suicide and I always wonder 'what signs did I miss?'. And I always say, be careful of people who are the 'class clown' as it's normally he/she who is depressed and suicidal (Robin Will;iams). Whenever I see you post anything or respond to a post, I always read it. You are always positive and have great posts and feed back. Wish they were more people like you but we're very lucky to have you, the Gracie Girl!!
