Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

How A Depression Hotline Can Help You

By Paul Cook


When you are depressed, there may seem as if there is no escape. You may have a job to do or children to get ready for school, but when you can't get going yourself in the morning, it can especially be tough. Sometimes your family members don't understand what you are going through. This is where a depression hotline can be very useful.

Not everyone has the money to go to a therapist. Some people are on health insurance, but not everyone is this privileged. Some people don't have the time to make an appointment because of the lifestyle in which they are living. It is not always easy to escape out of the office. You have to pick up your kids from school, and this is a part of life.

Many people don't know where to turn because they seem to feel as if nobody understands them. Often, they think that this is simply a stage and that it will soon pass. However, this is never the case, and without the love and support of those around people who are suffering, it becomes very difficult to manage one's life.

It is important not to wait until the last minute when you are desperate. Counselors are willing to help people day or night. Some folk will only make a call when they are suicidal and have nowhere else to turn. It is important to have someone to talk to when you are feeling slightly low. It will usually get worse from this point.

This can make all of the difference in the world. Children and teenagers don't always have the courage to phone someone. This especially relates to those kids who stay at home and feel that their parents are watching them. They may be depressed because they come from a dysfunctional home. However, there are other options which have become available as well and this is reassuring.

Sometimes a person may find that they need medication, and this is not something they would have thought about before. There are less expensive programs that one can get in touch with. A volunteer at a hotline will know more about this, and this is why it is to one's advantage.

Of course, budget will always come up and you may say that you can't afford a psychologist. In a case like this, a counselor will find a less expensive option for you. There is always a way out. There are many community programs which are very useful, and one can benefit from these as well.

One must not think that the support center is simply a once off affair. Phoning someone like this can really save your life. Of course, if you are in therapy already, you need to make sure you can either call your therapist or they can arrange for you to call a hotline, because you need to have this type of support.
