Stay up all night if you need to and get help, whether they're capable of asking for it or not.
#Story of your life lyrics how to#
Every time I hear this song, I wish people would get online and look up how to save their friends, whether it's from drugs or alcohol or suicide. I'd listened to this song so many times, and all I could think was, if I didn't get to a hospital, that this is how my mom and my friend would have felt. By the grace of god I finally made my friend take me to the emergency room. But my friend and my parents, had they known what to do, they would have done it.īut they didn't know and I couldn't tell them for so long. And when I asked where I was supposed to go, what I was supposed to do, they said they didn't know. I left messages at psychiatrists' offices begging for help and their secretaries, when I finally got a hold of them, would say they didn't accept my insurance. The people who knew what to do wouldn't help me. And then they would have taken me to a hospital and gotten me help. I know those people, if they had known how to save my life, would have stayed up with me all night. Or they'd get mad at me or say I wasn't serious and I felt so alone. And so many people knew and thought if they just said a few cliches to me that it would go away. I have major depression and had been struggling with suicidal thoughts for months.
