First of all I would like to say that I am not suicidal nor do I suffer from depression but for those of you who are and think that they are alone and I want to publish some stories that others have written so that you know you are not alone.these are real stories written by real people.

It started with a story.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILF5yXBrmR
The founder of TWLOHA, Jamie Tworkowski, didn’t set out to start a nonprofit organization. All he wanted to do was help a friend and tell her story. When Jamie met Renee Yohe, she was struggling with addiction, depression, self-injury, and suicidal thoughts. He wrote about the five days he spent with her before she entered a treatment center, and he sold T-shirts to help cover the cost. When she entered treatment, he posted the story on MySpace to give it a home. The name of the story was “To Write Love on Her Arms.”

But it was more than just a story.

The words and the life it represented shed light on the reality of contrast―pain and peace, addiction and sobriety, regret and freedom.

Soon Jamie and his friends were answering messages from people around the world. They longed to lift the heavy weight of depression. They wanted to be free from addiction or self-injury, to stay alive and live fully. They were mourning those they’d lost to such struggles, and they reached out to ask what they could do to bring hope to their communities.

Regardless of what you may be facing, reaching out for help from a counselor or calling a hotline is a great place to start. Even though TWLOHA believes in the power of treatment, you are responsible for selecting the provider or treatment. TWLOHA cannot accept responsibility for any of the services provided by these or any other providers.
