Thewalterd61: I had serious depression my whole life. Three minor suicide attempts, countless other thoughts of just stepping on the gas peddle and slamming into a wall. I lost my job a couple of years back and hit an all-time low. I took a crappy job at a grocery store. I found out my wife was pregnant and thought the best thing for her and the baby would be for me to not be around anymore.
On the last day, I planned to leave, my wife told me our baby was the size of a sweet pea. I smile and act happy knowing I will never see that sweet pea. I went to work in the morning and near the end of my shift I was standing in the frozen department and I’m near tears.
I closed my eyes and asked myself what was the point and that it was time to end this. Then I hear someone yell my wife’s name loud. Twice. I look over and see a lady who happens to have my wife’s name. Ok. Just a coincidence. Then I look down and see her holding a box of sweet peas. I started crying and went home.
I got the help I needed. The sweet pea is two now and has a sister on the way. I live my life for them. They saved me. Just remember that no matter how bad it gets there are people out there who love you and want to help. Don’t be afraid to ask.
