I have lost 8 people to suicide in my life. One had money issues, one very ill a long time, three to gunshot wounds, 2 od’d and one hung himself. All but one were very healthy in body, but unwell in their brains. PET scans show blue as depression in the brain, red as normal brain activity. Depression is just what it says, battery is not charging.πŸͺ· Call for help. It’s there for you, now.

Therapy has changed my mental health in sustainable ways. The power of knowing what is happening in my brain, and then knowing what to do to help myself cannot be overstated. I have C-PTSD which comes with side dishes of anxiety and depression.

Jeff, I won't quit caffeine.

You don't need it, but here it is anyway: you have my complete blessing to not ever quit caffeine.
