OC87 Recovery Diaries is an interactive website that features stories of mental health, empowerment and change, created by and for those whose journeys of recovery speak to audiences from all walks of life. This project hopes to touch as many lives as possible and bring light to the lived experiences of recovery from mental illness: what matters, what helps, what’s hard, what might be next?
We tell stories about how people with mental health challenges have created paths to meaningful lives. We feature stories that inspire and empower, stories that generate discussion and awareness. OC87 Recovery Diaries presents a range of experiences-personal perspectives, recovery innovations, examples of empowerment, strengths and gaps in the mental health system, and efforts to dismantle stigma-all told by people moving through their own recovery journeys.

There Was No Answer At Her Front Door | Case Studies: A Conversation About Older Adult Suicide
Older adults tend to plan suicide more carefully. They are also more likely to use more lethal methods.
“Older adults die by suicide at a rate greater than any other age group. And that comes as a surprise to most people,” says therapist Bianca O’Connor McDermott, LPC, in Case Studies: A Conversation about Older Adult Suicide, a new three-part Recovery Diaries series that presents the difficult conversation around the topic of suicide among older adults. The series features commentary from mental health professionals to promote awareness about this significant public health issue.
McDermott is joined by Jennifer Haeussler-Barnhart, Montgomery County Office of Senior Services; therapist Bianca O’Connor McDermott; and Tony Salvatore, MA, from Montgomery County Emergency Service. Jennifer, Bianca and Tony comprise the Older Adult Suicide Prevention Committee of the Montgomery County Suicide Prevention Task Force.
According to the National Council on Aging, reasons the rate of suicide is higher for older adults include loneliness and isolation, depression, grief over the passing of loved ones, loss of self-sufficiency, chronic illness and pain.
Case Studies: A Conversation about Older Adult Suicide features animated stories of seniors who have attempted suicide (artfully envisioned by motion graphics designer Andrea Bitai) as a springboard for each discussion. The case studies shared here are stories taken from real life, and are used by mental health professionals in presentations to promote understanding and awareness about the issue. They present startling truths about older adult suicide, as well as raise important questions that we need to ask ourselves as we wrestle with this difficult topic. Ben’s story, featured in this video, highlights the perceived loss of independence, one of the biggest risk factors in older adult suicide.
We hope that Case Studies: A Conversation about Older Adult Suicide can serve as an awakening of the issue, an exploration that presents the scope and scale of the problem and a search for solutions. Our goal with this series is to help people all over the world who are struggling to find anything on this topic to gain access to hopeful, helpful messaging around older adult suicide.
We invite you to join the conversation and would love to know your stories, your thoughts on this topic. Please comment on this post if you feel comfortable sharing.
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline outlines five action steps that you can take if you know an older adult who is thinking about suicide.
If you or someone you know may be in crisis or considering suicide, please call, text, or chat the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.

Extra Mile so poignant...It carries the pain and suffering through which he was negotiating all alone..God bless his soul🎉🎉🎉
My mother has had schizophrenia for years since 30 im 37 i was 5 when she first got it. Really sad but you learn and it becomes ok
Disgusting to have a number for a name 💀💀💀💀
I got shot on June 2nd this year, along with my younger brother and our friend. I’m 22 weeks pregnant. I vividly remember the burning sensation and how painful the hospital visits were/are when it came to changing my bandages. I’m so lucky that all three of us survived. It’s a sad situation that affects everyone and the families involved too. I know it hurts my mom to know both her children got shot, and to constantly see the pain we’re going through. Gun violence is no joke and I wish people valued human life more. All it would’ve took was me not listening to my instincts and I could’ve got shot somewhere else, closer range, or shot in my stomach. Thank God I’m alive
Been serving as a law enforcement officer for 25 years now and one thing that always sticks out in my mind was attempting CPR on a 2 year old girl that was slowly ran over by a truck from feet to head completely. I still see her face in my mind to this day, poor baby.
An amazing person ! This is such a moving story.
I just take anxiolytics and alcohol, not even American, 16 years on the streets, trying to find my way out.
When I was a young teenager I saw Med students on the bikes wearing white coats and some carrying Stethoscopes around the neck. That was when I fell for this n highly acclaimed profession. With hard work and determination I entered the Med school. Another five years of diverse studies, some moments of happiness but mostly shocks and jolts along the way I qualified and started internship in OBGy since I found in an OBGy prof a role model for myself . While on rotation to Surgery as I carried out some minor operations I believed I was on the top of the world. So I came back to surgery and long after endless days and sleepless nights I was blessed with the ultimate joy of fellowship in surgery. Fuelled by ambition and pleasure I followed an academic carrier until the day of retirement and occasionally afterwards until this day. I may have touched the hearts of some people, my students, patients and juniors, I was also touched by their gratitude and prayers. It dawned to me early enough that Surgery was not just a profession, it’s a passion, more like a mission. There are successes and their are failures but you keep going for the the sake of the sick and ailing humanity. Asked If I take the same road, I shall say YES .
Spooked. That while place needs to be inspected inccase any raw human bones apear.
You can tell I'm afraid.

It was after my 2nd shooting that I finally realized the department doesn’t give a f*** about you. They send you to the shrink as a check the box to cover the department that’s paying them. If you ask any other questions they just tell you to call somebody on your own.
The image of picking up those pieces. I always remember years ago I said that I would not leave any part of me behind and just like looking in the dirt for my soul. Life with a schizophrenic mother or father is terrifying. I am lucky my mum did recover but I think I took her memories and energies to save her and now I’m left with underlying symptoms not fully but I recognise them. And becoming very unwell is a normality for me. And yer my kids had to see me from very young unwell. But I took care of them. They didn’t have to live on the streets like I did, to get away from my parents. So rather than running away now I need to meet that part of me that could of gone one to be schizophrenic and release that trauma and it is in my dna and it’s inherited but mine wasn’t fully recognised as I am too intelligently aware of myself. So it’s a bit of living between worlds. So I must integrate that so my family doesn’t have to inherit this and hopefully delete that from our genetic coding. Recoding I guess.
I cried so had 😢 guns are one of the worst things man have made I have lost so many friends family and the love of my life to a gun fix it Jesus please or send your angels down here we need your help!
He's not wrong. A lot of calls are fairly minimal, non-injury traffic crashes, noise complaints etc. A lot of emergency services call takers & dispatchers forget that what is minimal to them because they experience it every day is someone worst day. Numerous DV related calls for service, where its the same people week in week out. But then you get those calls, the ones you still think about months or years later. The ones that still make your eyes sting when you think about them.
Ursula Rucker!!! Rocket 🚀!!❤
This is interesting because it is not in the documentary. When I am too tired to go out, I don't do a social fake, I just tell people, "I am too tired. I need to decompress. I am going home now. Goodnight."
im black and trans, born as a women. I feel so bad for white trans women/men because I think it's easier to tell the difference. Since transitioning I have had almost no problems with people believing I'm a black man, compared to when I was a woman growing up. I think many black women also have this problem, I've seen manly inherently masculine black women like me who are probably men but feel uncomfortable coming out, since the LGBT community isn't that prevalent within black communities.
Thank you for sharing your story. You're helping so many people. Praying for you ❤
Quit
What a brilliant suggestion! Rather like the folks who tell people who identify legitimate problems with the United States to "love it or leave it."
If they view reaching out as weakness then they shouldn't be cops
Don’t talk about something you know nothing about.
STFU "Poor me, I decided to pursue my dangerous career that's why I am a drunk bully." (yes, we know you are a bully. Just stop. Tired of whining cops. YOU were not appointed a cop. You chose this. YOU are a f'ing volunteer, not a victim.

Well said!
Seemshe could tackle his PTSD and still serve on NAVY ships.😊
Curious what his rank Was and was dude even in combat as a rescue swimmer?⚓️🇺🇸🍻✌🏻
Thanks for perpetuating the macho, horseshit stereotype that only combat veterans have somehow earned the "right" to be psychologically impacted and traumatized. Did you know the suicide rate is actually higher for non-combat veterans? You're on CZcams with a fictitious screen name; he's being fully open and vulnerable with his identity, story, and emotions, for all to see, including opening himself up to criticism and derision by people like you. So maybe check your attitude and your emojis. ✌️
You all worry about what you did to people and I forgive you❤
someone please talk more about this he is the only person who understands
Wow powerful statements
It's a journey not a destination. Thank you Mike.
Ok, you talked me into putting Hawke in my tbr finally. I always look forward to your wrap ups so I can add to my tbr. Thanks for all the recs!
Godbless you Justin 🙏 ❤ you're going to help so many people.
Im sorry for your Loss, may Elijah be in a better place.
I lived with my grandma and grandpa growing up, and my grandpa had schizophrenia. I didn’t like him growing up, but when I look back on it now, I realize how much he was suffering. He’s been gone now for a long time, and I think where ever he is, I’m grateful he no longer has to live with the torment.
Love the message and the music is delightful.
Things happen for a reason...and in mine is YOU! Thanks Nick for sharing your story and everything you are doing. You are a hero!
