What crazy days. There is doom and gloom all around. Children to excited to focus cuz the jolly fat man is coming to town, friends stressing because the world is in a recession and one more thing... My childhood friend told me that her sister has been missing for three days. What?!! How is the world so crazy yet so amazing during this time of need? I know that around the holiday's things tend to seem far worse than they are, but to the point of desperation to want to die. I know that mental health is so important and many people don't understand the pain and the loss that the families of those with issues face daily. My other Tammy is one who is empty because her best friend walked out with a box of pills three days ago. To her family, they are lost, empty, confused, and alone. Police can't do anything because she left on her own.
WHAT..... A det. told the family..."usually we just stumble upon them" Like a person is not worth more than a stumble.
This is a problem within our society. We need to help those who feel like they have no options left, those families that have loved ones with mental problems, those parents of children that feel like their world has come to an end because of a label. I am a firm believer in "I am my brother's keeper," whats wrong with that? I remember that not to long ago, I was the mother at the end of my rope with a child who manged to cast everyone away from us due to his behaviour problems, I had my mom who at times didn't understand either. I had no one to lean on for support.
Listen, pray, and please don't turn us away; we need all the support we can get. Even if it is a friend to vent or cry to.
Mental health is so important.
I really enjoy your blog. Not in the sense that I like to see you hurt, but in the sense that I like to feel I am not the only one, that life (it's ups and downs) are normal. That you point out that we are never really alone. Even if we feel like it sometimes.
