Depression / Suicide video
10 years ago
Soboy ostat'sya dol'she...
So, many of you may have heard via Facebook, reddit, or even Twitter. There has been a suicide in the community.
A week or so ago, I was asked to make a video about depression, I haven't done it yet, as I was contemplating how to go about it.
I now know what I'm going to do, and I wanted to get this out to as many people as I can.
I'll be posting my video likely tonight. If anyone has comments, statistics or personal stories they'd like me to include, let me know.
If not, I'm asking anyone who is comfortable with it to also post a video and share the link with me so I can make a master list.
I want to use my network to do something helpful for the community. I know that if we all do a little bit, we can really make a difference. Let's band together and be a force for change, positivity and love.
Together, we can do something good to maybe help someone through tough times, and encourage people to seek help. Let's break down the stigma of depression and let people know it's nothing to be ashamed of. Let's let people know that there are people in this world who really care.

Depression can be very harsh. I go through bouts of it from time to time. The worst I'd ever gone through was maybe a year ago. For reasons unknown all I could do was just sit in bed and quietly browse random things on the Internet and binge-watch things on Netflix to get my mind off of, well, everything. I did this for two days straight before something snapped and I came out of it.
