Remember you are never alone. If you find yourself in a crisis situation, contact the friends and family that you have noted as positive and supportive influences, utilize the organizations that I mentioned in a previous post that are available 24/7, or talk to a doctor or er staff.
Your life is very valuable to the community you protect everytime you put your gear on and respond out that door. You have the power to make a difference during a community member's time of need, a skill, passion, and ability most do not possess. God put you on this earth to be his earthly saviors. It takes a strong person to be a firefighter and an even stronger person to overcome depression. But anything is possible in life with determination and trust that God would never put you in a situation you couldn't handle. You're strong, and every day you battle depression you learn more about yourself and how strong of a person you really are!
