eighty four thousand.

so the labor department released this figure yesterday.

84,000 jobs cut in the month of august.

which means there are at least 90,000 more depressed people in the united states.

who is doing something about this?!?!?!?!?!

i think if mccain and palin make it into the white house then there will be millions more of depressed people in the united states. depressed and dead.

please vote for obama.

ugh!!!!! all this makes me upset.

i was looking online at the depression and bipolar support alliance website and learned about rebecca cutler. she was a journalist who eventually committed suicide due to her depression and bipolar illness. but what sparked my attention was that her parents served her last wish to put on a fundraising gala each year to raise money for mental illness awareness...wow! i think i might try to go but it is in chicago in novemeber and i dont know if my schedule will permit...still i will make a donation. it is soooo important!!!!!
