   You all helped me today. Let me explain... I work in a call center that, among other things, takes National Suicide Prevention Lifeline calls. I had a really rough call where a gentleman lost everyone close to him within a few years and was now homeless, hadn't been able to afford his medication in weeks, and had been fighting depression for years. He was preparing to end his life to escape the constant emotional pain and loneliness. His call stuck with me long after, and I felt down for hours. I wanted to be anywhere but at the office right then. After a melancholy lunch break I got back to work and put in my earbuds to play music so I could kinda zone-in and get things done no matter my mood.
