THE IMPORTANCE OF LIFE

Perhaps you live with physical or mental health symptoms that affect your quality of life. Or maybe you have a hard time recognizing what's gone right - or even well - in your life. Giving up can feel easier when life seems pointless. But just as pain keeps you from seeing solutions, it can also pull the joy and significance from the things that used to matter. Your life does have meaning, though. Challenge yourself to discover this meaning - or create it for yourself. It may not be large or earth-shattering, but it's still there. Consider skills, abilities, and other things you take pride in. Think about your connections with others or goals you once had. - Crystal Raypole, healthline.

HOW DO YOU KEEP MOVING FORWARD

While you can't force yourself to have fun or experience pleasure, you can push yourself to do things, even when you don't feel like it. You might be surprised at how much better you feel once you're out in the world. Even if your depression doesn't lift immediately, you'll gradually feel more upbeat and energetic as you make time for fun activities. Pick up a former hobby or a sport you used to like. Express yourself creatively through music, art, or writing. Go out with friends. Take a day trip to a museum, the mountains, or the ballpark. - Help Guide

WHY ENABLING DOESN'T HELP

When you encourage others to perform self harm or suicide, it doesn't help them if their mental health is low. You might not pay attention to the issue at hand, but the people that feel severely depressed didn't need to hear negative comments you've created. Learn on how depression can impact on the ability and thought process of a person, while learning methods on how you can help others positively. With a built understanding on the issues of suicide, you will be more well aware when a person experience it.
