First I would just like to say that you are all very courageous for coming out and letting people on greekchat know about these things. The thing is, a lot of people do not look at these types of disorders as not being normal due to a rising number of people coming out and seeking help, because it is a huge issue. I don't look at it as someone not being normal, I look at it as someone who is being physically affected by their surrounds, whether it be depression, academic stress, everyday life. We all experience some of these at some point in life. The thing that should definately be known as that there are ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS people there to help you. I wish that more people would come forward when they are experiencing problems like this, because sometimes the end results can be devistating, or even fatal
I had a brother come to me and talk to me about he was having suicidal thoughts. That really really scared me because we had a brother kill him self just a year earlier. We got him to let his parents and his close friends know. His parents got him into counseling, and now he is doing perfectly well, and I really do feel that my brothers and myself helped save his life.
People are there, and people will always be there to help.
