You are the center of your universe; yours is the only pain that counts. People living with depression or other types of personality dis-ease need reliable resources of support and information. Here is a guide to the best resources for African American males.
According to national suicide organizations, if you have symptoms of depression or other personality dis-ease, the first thing you need to do is see your doctor and get an accurate diagnosis.

”It sounds simple, but this saying can go a long way and is the most important saying to me personally. Whenever I am in a funk and hear these words, it automatically makes me feel comforted. Often times a person who has depression needs to hear this to know that they have support.“
”I know that when I have a wave of depression, I don't want to be alone. I would rather be around people who mean the most to me. However, sometimes I'm too afraid to ask for their company. So, when they reach out to me and ask to come see me, it quickly gives me a little relief, and it can do the same for your loved one. On the other hand, some people like to be alone when they feel depressed, so by offering, you give them the chance to decide.“
”When people are feeling blue, the last thing that they feel is strong. They feel vulnerable, weak, and tired of fighting. I know I do. So, when someone tells me that they view me as this strong and courageous person, it makes me feel better about myself and shows me that I am capable of fighting.“
