It's also worth remembering -

[kyburg]

For every death by homicide in this country, there are two suicides.

And depressed people considering suicide are often surrounded by people who love them.

..

It's also abysmally easy to talk yourself out of anything - your good times, your best features, your innate value as a living creature. When it gets too easy, you likely have a depressive issue or two. Maybe something as simple as a score of bad habits you need to break.

The flip side is that it's just as easy to talk yourself into something, if you give it the same chance.

Give yourself that extra space today. And spend that extra resource -

Dream big. That's where your future lies.

Thank you for these words. That's all I'll say for now.

I may have to add this to my memories - because so often I do talk myself out of everything good I have going for me. Medication helps, but not always.

But thank you.
