I need to do this...

eraismeMy therapist suggest to me that I write in my journal more often. About me, about work, about life...whatever the fuck is on my mind. I'm inclined to agree with her. I should have been consistent with this. I'm never consistent with anything though.
Found out that my little cousin attempted suicide last night.
I've been there before, quite recently actually. I feel like there should be a way for me to help him. I feel like there's something I can do for him or that his parents won't know how to properly handle the situation because they're about appearances and not about actual fucking care and I know I'm acting ridiculous about it. It's the truth though. I fear for him and I hate that he may have to go down that path alone or with people who don't care.
Depression, mental illness, it's all hereditary. All of it. I thought that I got it more from my father than my mother because of feelings and emotions I discovered with my brother (who I hadn't spoken to for 25 years prior). I knew there was something on my mother's side because, literally, everyone in the family is on something for depression. IDK. I guess I get it honestly from both sides.
My poor cousin though. He's only 20. I have things I need to figure out.
