Thank you
If it wasnt for beyond blues call line I wouldn't be alive right now. I suffered alone and in silence with severe depression and anxiety issues for over a decade before it all became too much an I attempted to take my own life. Luckily I survived and got the help I needed , doctors medication and support from your great organization. I lost alot because of my suicide attempt, my fiance, the love of my life left me, my depression had taken too much of a toll on her, I cant blame her really. I must admit I again thought about taking my own life when she left thankfully many calls to the support line got me through it.
Today im much happier, i used to be unemployed unable to leave my house (rented) and unable to find much happiness in anything but now just over a year since my suicide attempt I'm running my own online advertising firm with a few solid clients and looking to take on far more. I'm happy, able to leave my house ( still renting) and enjoy the outdoors. I miss my ex fiance deeply I dont think that will ever change but thanks to you amazing people at beyond blue I now know I have a future, I have goals, (something I've never had before) I want to buy my own place, build my advertising firm up and I want to get to a place that I'm well off enough that I can give back to the community and help others that are struggling with depression. I guess that's part of what this post is, it's a thank you to beyond blue and hopefully an eye opener to those reading it because trust me if this is something that I can do then you can to.

Hello Zyler,

thank you for your post. As though I'm suffering from depression, it's nothing compared to your suffering. I appreciated you wanting to help others. You give me inspiration to get better and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I wish you all the best in this endeavour. You give hope and I hope you are able to help many people here on this forum.

Kind regards and cheers,

SilvaLady

Hi Zyler

You're beautiful! Thanks for openly sharing your struggle, transformation and grattitude. My wish for you on your path is that you remain focused on your true natural inner beauty, strength and kindness. These traits act as a light for others. I believe that it's our fragility that humbles us and leads us to become more compassionate.

Take care 🙂
