Our hearts go out to those who have lost someone to suicide. Words cannot express the thoughts ihelpworld sends your way at this time.
Suicide is an act of deep, final despair of one that is suffering from depression - a final act that affects all other lives in such a profoundly shocking and life-altering way.
Suicide is not an act of shame; it is an act of final desperation of the sufferer, an act that says I could not find a thing in this world that alleviated the pain inside. Suicide goes against every act of survival we have programmed into our DNA.
The biggest problem is that nobody really talks about it as depression and suicide is still an unspeakable. One of the many reasons sufferers may go so many years without seeking help or treatment.
Our mission is to rally worldwide action and support to effect changes to the way we have traditionally viewed and failed to really help those suffering at such a profound level.
