Living Is So Big... From MADNESS to Recovery
|
|
 Anonymous wrote "
My name is Karen Tyrrell, Australian survivor of mental illness.
When I was a teacher, parents at my school harassed me every day until I could take no more. I screamed out with night terrors and became Manic. Police incarcerated me into a psychiatric hospital. I wrote ME & HER: A Memoir Of Madness and ME & HIM:A Guide to Recovery, sharing my recovery and wellness tips.
I'm now a full-time mental health advocate, author and speaker empowering others to live their happiest, healthiest and strongest lives.

Living Is So Big because...

Anonymous wrote "We never really know what impact we have on the lives of others, especially with what we say and do or by not doing or saying anything. Sometimes being a good friend means listening without judgment. Other times it means speaking up when we notice something is not quite right. If we choose to treat others with kindness and compassion we will attract people who are also kind and compassionate. Most people just need to know that there is someone else who cares... about them.

Living Is So Big... Healing Process

meganlaughs wrote "On May 11, 2012, I climbed upon the stairs upstairs to his room to try to bring him down to come hang out with us. But he didn't want to go. I knew something was wrong, but he didn't want to talk about it. I said I would see him later. And off I went for the night with some friends to go to the canyon.
The next day on May 12, 2012 I received a call at 8 AM that morning and letting me know he committed suicide. My world was shattered and I didn't know how to put it back together. I broke down and cried. I let my roommate hold me in her arms as she tried to comfort in the unspeakable pain I was feeling. Tears ran down my face as I've never felt them before.
I was shocked, hurt, and mad. Most of all, I instantly missed him.
I never experienced someone close to me committing suicide - I didn't even know anyone who had suffered with such depression before. Or maybe I never realized the reality of it. I didn't know how to deal with the pain I was feeling. I didn't know how to express myself. I started to separate myself from some of my friends and I cried a lot. It hurt so much to cry - I literally felt pain in my body as I cried... "

LIVING IS SO BIG... The Side No one Knows

Anonymous wrote "Well....I just want to start this story by introducing myself.
My name is Liann and I am 15. I had a hard life. I was taken from my mom at 3 years old, and lived with my grandmother. My dad was out of the picture. When i was 6, I was taken from my gramma, because i was being abused both physically and sexually. They placed me in a foster family, and they adopted me 3 years later. I loved them and trusted them, which at that point in my life, was really hard to do.
Over the years, my adopted family got abusive. I was taken from there when i was 14 years old. Now at this point, I didn't trust anyone, and my behavior was awful. I used to cut myself...and it would help. Then, as things went downhill...i would hold knives up to my heart, and think constantly about killing myself. I would cry a lot when no one was looking, and I tried to get close to God, but it seemed like nothing worked.... "

Living Is So Big... To me

Rizz wrote "Life for me wasn't always so happy. I moved into my house on Sylvan Street and had what I thought was the perfect life. It turned out not to be so.
Everything has a silver lining though, as I found out my neighbor was an amazing person. Stephen Agudo showed me that there is still hope to find great people in this world. He befriended me and instantly proved to be one of the best people I've ever known. He will forever be a brother to me. "

Bike-a-thon promotes life appreciation
|

Anonymous wrote "http://www.esubulletin.com/2012/03/15/10681
Luke Antes, junior digital audio major, rides in Sigma Pi’s annual bike-a-thon at their fraternity Saturday morning. The destination was to Williamsburg, which is a 40-mile trek. Julie Thephachan/The Bulletin
When their younger son attempted suicide, the Agudo’s wanted to show him that life is beautiful and wonderful, so they created Living Is So Big, and that summer they sold everything they owned and went on the road to share their message.
The foundation’s goal, according to their website, is to help people realize that the world and everything in it is beautiful, and life is worth living. “I am really proud of (my family),” said Stephen Agudo, senior business management major. “If it wasn’t for school, I would be out there with them spreading the message.”
Agudo explained that his parents and brother have taken LISB on the road and across the nation. They have hit 50 cities and traveled over 18,000 miles to show people how to appreciate life.
“It’s not just about suicide anymore,” Agudo said. “It’s more than that. It’s trying to remind people to get all the negativity out of their life and just remind people that there is so much more (that is) positive that it is just harder to see with all the negative that overflows.”
His younger brother travels with his parents, and when they do events, he tells the story of what he was going through and how his focus on negativity brought him down to the point where he didn’t want to live anymore.
“This road trip has helped him out a lot because LISB has saved lives,” Agudo said. “They’ve been touching people and doing work.”
