In talking today with a coworker from another department, I learned that she has had depression for years.
Of course we compared notes, life stories of awful childhoods and abuse, and all of the other usual things one might expect, as well as our thoughts of suicide -- old and recent.
This might sound dumb, but I don't think I've ever met anyone in person who had suicidal thoughts, too, and told me. As we parted company, in addition to telling me to call her if/when those thoughts surface again, she left me with some words she keeps in her head (maybe you've heard them before, but I hadn't):
**Part of resisting is surviving.**
