What Suicide Isn't: Cowardly, Weak, Selfish or a Character Defect

When people feel so small and ashamed of the fact that they have either addiction or mental health issues. Due to when they try communicating with others, instead of empathy and support. They are called things such as selfish, weak, cowardly and other demeaning things. Due to the reactions people have, cause them to be hesitant, and not get the proper medical or psychological support that they not only need, but deserve. 

 We need to see suicide for what it is, and what we can do to make the lives of others more livable. Instead of judging others, to the point of them being so terrified of other people's reactions that they end their lives.

What I Wish My Family Knew About Me and my Adhd

Growing up in a household that ADHD was considered a character defect, really wasn't all that fun. Especially when you try over and over again to explain how the stigma often attached to having ADHD, has such a harmful effect on you, and the only result was either getting smacked or being made to feel as if it was your fault.
