People mostly don’t realise they have THE depression. Or that they’re ‘struggling’ with anything worth talking about. They feel fine. Which is why ‘just talk to someone’ is rarely effective. You really never stop trusting your brain, the one you make all your decisions with, that has protected you and gotten you this far. Ideas like his grow little at a time, discarded as ridiculous, then start to make more sense. There is bravery, sadness, terror, also practicality wrapped up in how they feel. I just pray for us all that our calibration of reality always stays accurate.

When my brother passed I always thought that when he was in so much pain God finally said “it’s ok to come home”. He was such a sensitive soul.

I can relate to this! I empathize with you. My grandmother took her own life a little over two years ago and the grief still hits hard for us. She always had a dark sense of humor but it got darker after my step grandfather died from kidney cancer in 2017. My sister and I were always paranoid that she would harm herself eventually but my mom was completely blindsided by it. She was the one who found her and she has PTSD now due to it. Mental health is super important including in the older generation. I truly believe the older generations get overlooked regarding mental health and the impacts of it. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I had to push away the toxic people who wanted nothing more than the spotlight of the loss we were living every single second of every day. I don't think he knew he wouldn't wake up, and I pray he didn't feel pain when the angels took away the center of our world, the compass in our life all in my days.

[@authorkodyboye]

As someone who's coming on the third anniversary of losing someone to their mental illness, I want to stress how important it is to take time to allow yourself to heal. While there is never any "right way" to heal, just as there is never any right way "to grieve," please remember that your feelings are valid, and that you are allowed to feel every bump of the rollercoaster that comes after experiencing something like this. Thank you, Hoda, for taking the time to talk with Allison, and to bring awareness to mental health traumas that affect so many people.

[@rebekahwhitcomb2396]

What sucks about mental illness is what people say after a person that’s committed suicide. They say, “why didn’t he say something? If you need to talk to someone… I’m always there.” Let’s understand that it takes a huge amount of trust and vulnerability to share with people what you’re going through. When someone is ready to open and share what they are going through, people tend to give them unsolicited advice or try to figure out a solution. They don’t really sit there and actively listen. Also, another reason why far too many people don’t feel like opening about their struggles is because people are quick to ridicule and discourage the person more for feeling that way. In order to have a serious conversation about mental health problems, we need to recognize that it takes a huge amount of trust to do that.

[@emilyr123]

This is a fantastic point - and in addition, often when people reach out there aren't sufficient resources to truly help them, or the resources that are available are overwhelmed and backlogged. There are so many obstacles and barriers when it comes to not only sharing your mental health struggles, but getting adequate and effective help and support. It is never as simple as just saying something.

[@jbaux84]

I know for me, I feel like on top of what you said, I also feel like I’d be a burden. People already have their own worries and problems, so who am I to dump on them?

The biggest problem I had was asking for help, never thought asking for help was a solution. TBH asking for help wasn’t on my list, I didn’t want anyone to feel sorry for me, look at me different, or tell me I was stupid for feeling a certain way. I thought I could figure things out on my own without anyone getting involved but that back fired when my “attempt” was interrupted and then EVERYONE knew what was up. That was 20 years ago and I’m ashamed to admit that those thoughts and feelings have never truly gone away. Life is sure complicated isn’t it?

[@ziona9259]

I totally agree with you. Sometimes I don’t wanna tell people how empty I’m feeling when it comes to not being able to bring my friends together. I mean I understand they have families and other stuff to do, of course. The thing is, I don’t want to make it seem like that I’m trying to control people or force them cuz I’m not like that. They can say I can’t do stuff like that and that I should be careful to who I put trust towards but it makes me feel shame because it’s like I’m becoming a victim yet I’m treated as if I’m the problem to myself. That’s why I didn’t need anyone to teach me things that are hard for me to cope with so I only push myself to do better without having to rely on anyone. So sometimes it sucks to not being able to tell how you feel without feeling ashamed.

I hope you know that you have nothing to be ashamed about. I'm sorry to hear that you're still struggling. You are amazing to keep fighting though. Your life matters.

I tried to get help and no one cared 😢im doing ok now though

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

@@Crystal_1992 I’m really sorry you were dismissed. Is it possible some of those people just didn’t know what to say to you so it seemed like they didn’t care? Sometimes people have no idea what to say. Kind of like when a person loses a loved one and people don’t reach out because they’re afraid. I’m glad that you’re doing better now. I hope you find a friend who you can share your troubles and joys with.

[@thedogzoo]

I think of this family so much. I lost my husband 2 years ago. I was lucky to have him 31 years. I talk to him everyday. I can't even begin to know what you are going through. You're so strong.

[@brendy0807]

My father took his own life when I was 5. It takes a long time to get through that. Thinking of his family 💜

[@donnawood3505]

his wife is still so graceful. it’s a shock to her and her kids.

[@alwaysputtingGOD1st]

Blessings for sharing their lives with the world. My condolences.

[@rebeccas7366]

How did she get through this interview and speak so eloquently, I would be a mess, a strong woman, I hope she finds healing one day.

[@GB-TX]

Thank you for sharing this with the world Allison. This is so important. Men need to feel like they can share their emotions and don't have to bear the burden of being the worlds' Superman. I am so sorry that he took himself away from you and your children. You are all so strong. And hopefully others can learn from this and less of these tragedies could happen.

[@daniellemgodfrey]

Tow such a beautiful woman inside And out. You and your children will be ok. Keep his memory alive

[@evaisaiahhall]

I have watched them literally since day one on so you think you can dance. They are were the perfect couple. I cried when they got engaged, I cried when they had babies, I cried when we lost him. I love her so much and I'm praying for them all and whoever feels you are alone you aren't! We love you too speak up let someone know you can't take it anymore someone will be there please don't give up
