March : Suicide prevention month, and two years ago when I had a hard time

On a train I often see suicide prevention ads, especially in this month of the year.
In our country March is the month of suicide prevention.
Ads ask us if we aren't pushing too hard, without talking to anyone that we have a hard time.
They also encourage us to talk to someone if you are feeling you may be having a hard time, and show the number of the hot line, toll-free number if my memory serves correct.

Two years ago, I had also hard time and sometimes talked to myself that I was going to die, although I didn't really wanted to die, and I couldn't stop thinking in that way. That had a bad effect on my co-workers. In the morning the mood of the workplace then was very bad, because each of team members had temper problems especially in the morning. It was really unlikely that someone in my team would smile from the bottom of their heart.

I counseled my job coach and then had a setting with my supervisors at work. I was advised that I think of benefits of someone else, especially my co-workers. That was really hard to me at that time, but I tried it hard anyway, then I gradually felt much lighter in my mind, although the change was so mild that the first few days after the setting was still miserable. My supervisors' opinion also improved in a few month later.

In two years, in March I feel much better than then, and this relatively mentally good condition in spite of the heavy workload typical for this time for the year is certainly the advice that I think of benefits of someone else. This motivate me much and also improve my mental condition.
