thechallenger88 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Hello everyone, My name is Roman Gardner. Many of you in Police RP know me as PD-LT Gardner, EMS-LT, and a State Police Sergeant. Many of you who know me more on a personal level also know that I am a Jr. Firefighter in my township, for my local VFC. I have been doing this job for roughly a year and a half. I have seen some tough things, things that will make you cry, things that will make you wanna scream, and things that will rip your heart into two. However, it isn't all bad, I have seen some amazing things and even a few miracles, but that is a story for another day. The main topic of today is Mental Health. Personally, I do not suffer from any mental health disorders, but I do have friends and co-workers who do. Many people do not recognize what people go through when they have a mental illness. They cannot get over it. They cannot magically "pull-through". They cannot get better magically. They need help. No, not overbearing loving help, but simple friendly help. Obviously serious disorders such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder need more than just friendliness, but we will use Clinical Depression as an example. Many people are diagnosed with this and it is the most common. I am not going to go into detail of what it all is, but to keep what I'm trying to say short and sweet, you do not need to overbear on people who have mental issues. Treat them like it is a normal day. Have them over for dinner, hang out, watch a movie. If it is a kid you go to school with ask him to play a game of Football or Hockey with you. treat them the way YOU would want to be treated if you were in the same position. Treat them the way they WANT to be treated because you never know how they are being treated by adults, parents, relatives, and even your own peers. You never know what goes on in someone's mind or personal life. If you treat them how they want to be treated, and now how they are treated, they will be forever grateful. That weird kid who acts out in Chemistry Class? Sit down and talk to him. See what's going on. Maybe you might be his only friend. Have a co-worker who is depressed and potentially thinking of suicide? Try talking to them, it might just save their life. The moral of my story here is to try and get people to be better human beings. I want everyone to think about what I say and truly take it into consideration. I know that this post is a little out of nowhere, and my point may be a little everywhere with this topic I attempted to cover, but hopefully, I got the message across. To ANYONE who may read this with a Mental Disorder or is having trouble : There is no shame in asking for or looking for help! Just because you ask for help does not mean you are weak, or a coward. If anything you are ine of the brave, because not many people ask for help. I am always here to talk if anyone needs someone to talk to. I do not care who you are, where you come from, what your race is, what religion you are a part of. I will help you to the best of my abilities if you talk to me. I am on GamingLight PD, FR, EMS, and State Police Discords if you would like to contact me, other than that I do check Forums regularly if you DM me on here or want someone to talk to. Thank you all for listening. --Roman Gardner-- ---True North City Police - Lieutenant--- ---True North State Police - Sergeant--- ---True North Emergency Medical Services - Lieutenant--- --- Central FD of Elizabeth Township - Jr. Firefighter--- 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
