Possible trigger:

And yes, i have been seriously depressed years ago, with very little help, i had to fight for my life, i attempted suicide once and had two other plans that i put together, before my situation changed, saving my life

Hey Willow tigger,

I'm glad you're alive.

I also agree that some people wait far too long before they try to get help. Globally, apparently 70% of people with diagnosable psychiatric conditions don't seek help.
