      • Depression is real. I need your help!

        Enough with the taboos already!

      • Author Dwade Kearns

        A depression brought me to a suicide (attempt). Now, I fight mental health taboos and support suicide prevention on Medium and in my books about... Life!

         

        I write under a pen name because my consulting business would suffer if clients, suppliers, and even friends would know. Taboos, taboos, taboos!

        Thanks for your support!

        WIP: Work in Progress

        How depression, for me, was like downhill skying on a cliff. What suicide thought me about life. Why suicide prevention campaigns failed me.

        DOWNHILL

        Suicide lessons for the soul.

        What suicide thought me about life.

         

        Prior to my well-planned suicide attempt, which very nearly succeeded, my life was like skiing downhill off a steep cliff with a pair of depression skis. My suicide attempt, which failed only because of a desperate last minute action by an otherwise well intended friend, changed my life for the better. At the bottom of this steep hill, I was able to regenerate myself and start hiking back up, on a much better path.

         

        I want to share in this book what I have experienced and learned in the hope of helping others find that uphill path before crashing at the bottom of the hill. We can stop the downhill trajectory of depression.

         

        Secondly, I write this book for those who have to cope with suicidal friends or relatives and who genuinely want to help. Telling friends to ‘seek help’ or to ‘get their act together’ is not enough. In fact, it can be very counterproductive.

        Adventures of an Undercover Ridesharing Driver in Miami

        WITNESS

        Adventures of an Undercover Ridesharing Driver in Miami.

        While seeking to get back on my feet after a suicide struggle, I killed time as a ridesharing driver. It led me to rediscover human nature. I got to interact with the best and the worse of humankind, observe the 7 deadly sins and 7 corresponding virtues, engage with generous poor people, face greedy rich bastards, visit secluded neighborhoods, transport half-naked men & women, survive rude passengers, and have the most incongruous conversations. It gave me sharp images of what I wanted - and didn’t want - for the rest of my life.


        Bonus chapter: How to be a considerate ridesharing passenger.
