    I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband (a USAF veteran) in June 2023 to suicide by firearm. I can relate to many things you have expressed. You are very brave to share your story and experience. I hope you are able to continue healing and helping others through sharing your experience. I'm still having a difficult time with the grieving process but knowing I'm not alone in this experience has been helpful. Thank you again for sharing! 💜

    Condolences for your loss. Thankyou for sharing, I can see people engaging with you. You are a special person. - I have experienced emotional dys-regulation. Something I read recently and have taken on board, a change in terminology, one has poor brain health as opposed to mental health. Cause that is the case. Mental - the word in itself has a negative connotation. It’s one’s brain physically that changes, the neural pathways and neuro chemicals, resulting in cognitive changes & so forth, trauma changes brain development and a lot of stuff to deal with. Changing the name changed my perception of myself. The brain needs to heal is somehow a different, gentler approach. Great t - shirt. All the best with moving through and forward.

    Mental health is affected so much by not just cultural stigma, but by the culture itself. I’ll be honest as a male health, professional prescribing anything like Adderall to someone with any type of trauma in their history, is unethical, and that doctor should be accountable for contributing to the loss of your partner, it is a pharmaceutical methamphetamine, and when you give that to someone that already has hyper vigilance, anxiety, depression, and the type of history you briefly described it should never have happened.

    Sometimes, the meds. they put you on makes you feel worse. I've been there. I've contemplated suicide because sometimes life gets overwhelming. The pain and the stress get to be too much. You feel like there's no way out. Death seems like finally you will have peace. No more expectations from others, no more disappointment when you can't make everyone happy. No more complaints. Just peace we want peace. I lost friends to suicide and it still hurts me years later. I understand your pain. I'm glad you found love again. Most of all I hope you find peace. Keep moving forward.

    Seek out Jesus in prayer. He loves you and will take away all the pain and sadness. I know how heavy it is, i fought depression for years unsucessfully.. medications nor therapy don't help because depression is spiritual and you can't fight it off with physical treatments. When i came to Christ He lifted off all the heaviness and not just that but gave me peace and hapiness which i never felt in my life. True peace and true hapiness, also otherwordly warmth of pure love. Since then i never felt suicidal again and depression didn't came back. So in order to be free you have to understand depression as it is - spiritual battle. And that battle we can't fight with our own physical weapons and strenght. We need Jesus who will fight it off for us, just let him do it. Make a first step reach out to Him and accept Him into your heart. He will set you free and give you joy peace and love ❤ God bless you and protect you, know that you are precious and do not give up on yourself ❤

    That won't help, she needs to read the sacred and holy Vedas. The truth, written 2000 years before the Quran. I'm kidding, but it's a little bit of a coincidence that Mr Al Junaibi thinks Islam is the "correct" religion. Closer to Scientology or Mormonism lmao Don't spread your brainwashing to other people and other people will leave you alone to live your life too. It's extra funny when your silly book advocates for the stoning to death of women for adultery, which will bring peace to sisters. I understand you aren't going to change when your religion locks you in by making apostasy = death.

    You probably should be saying that you lost a friend. There is no way that you as a woman could be a husband. Do you think she sank into depression and death only because of medications? A young child could well be looking at you, for the physical evidence that a man possesses. Do you think you could be introducing CONFUSION?
