Help Me

Daughter, 16, left cryptic ‘help me’ note in her room before ‘suicide’

She was doing well at school. I know they had fallings out and there were stresses and worries but I thought those were just normal teenage things.

Help Me Be Me’s tracks

So what is this elusive connection? Being seen for how we truly are - all our bad stuff, and being accepted and loved despite it all. Our desire to feel love is strong, yet can be quite unconscious. Of course, most of us are far too ashamed of how we feel to let anyone else see it, me included.

ACCESSORIES

And in that shame we hide who we really are, or parts of us anyway. Even if we are with people, they don't see the "real" us - we see that part as unlovable. So who we really are never connects with anyone else, and thus we are isolated - desperately needing connection, too ashamed to make connection. This could be sex as part of our genetic programming to reproduce, or simply for pleasure , or be something much simpler.

The need to be held, touched, hugged, stroked. Studies on monkeys showed massive detrimental effects on those that had no touch from others, and humans are no different - we need touch.

In today's world people have become more insular. It is easier to conduct a life from home in front of a PC. People don't rely on each other anymore - we are fiercely independent. People can't fall back on a community, a support structure. This can be especially true for those who are not part of a close family. That may be because their family are no longer living or spread over a wide geographical area, or because they simply aren't close to their parents or siblings.

We need this support desperately. So we have people to fall back on when times are tough. People that can hold us in that space.

People we can be ourselves with. People we can really talk to.

Joni Mitchell - Help Me (1974)

And people we can have a laugh with, do things with, discuss things with. People that can help us. Sometimes all the therapy and medications in the world just won't work if people can't feel part of a group. What constitutes a group is not set in stone - does not need to be a big group, but there is something about multiple people interacting that can be much stronger than just being with people one-on-one. Everyone needs a reason to get out of bed in the morning. It might be to look after a family, to earn money for that family, to help friends, to overcome a challenge, to help those in need.

There are lots of reasons, but we all need one. Robin Williams's tragic death fortunately brings depression back into focus. I say "fortunately" because the more we talk about it, the more people we help.

Help Me (Joni Mitchell song)

I have suffered from bouts of depression since my first son was born 14 years ago. A bad case of postpartum depression saddled me with this pet dark cloud that stays at a distance for years at a time, and then, when I least expect it, positions itself over my head like an invisible crown.

SNOWMOBILES

Only, this isn't a crown that anyone should envy. Depression feels like a cloud raining only above you while the rest of the world is bathed in sunshine. You can see everyone else's sunshine, but the rain-cloud-crown is like a pound weight making you almost immobile. This past winter, I experienced one of my worst episodes.

4 Things My Husband Did to Help Me Through Depression

Thankfully, I'm doing much better today, with the help of medication, diet, and exercise, but I owe the biggest thanks for my recovery to my husband, Dustin. I'm a big proponent of treating depression with medication. For many of us, it's the only way. None of us, however, can get better without the help of our closest loved ones. For me, that is Dustin. I don't know how my husband knew exactly what to do. I'm not even sure he knew what he was doing at the time. But when I look back on those dark months, I realize there were steps Dustin took that led to to the dark cloud lifting.

Dustin, a Navy pilot, was at the Pentagon in Washington, D. He took 14 days of leave and flew home to Maine at midnight.

What does it take to feel OK?

All I remember is him coming upstairs, pulling the blankets up around my shoulders and kissing my forehead.
