Somewhere Between Madison And Davenport
David Shulimson
TOPIC CATEGORY: Self Improvement
Request This Free SpeechSomehow, I keep moving forward.
I was diagnosed with depression more than a decade ago and my condition has worsened through the years. Despite increased and stronger dosages of anti-depressants, I began having suicidal thoughts. MORE >
I had experienced a job loss, followed by bankruptcy and foreclosure. I then went through about a year of what's called "sheltered" homelessness. I began making progress until my world seemingly fell apart again, largely of my own doing. If I were to rank all of my calamities in order of severity, being homeless (again) wouldn't have even made the top three.Suicide moved from my "radar" to my "itinerary." I drove westward(ish) from where I was living at the time. Somewhere between Madison, Wisconsin, and Davenport, Iowa, I made the decision to remove suicide from my itinerary.
I wish I could conclude my introduction with "And I've lived happily ever after." However, "stuff" continued to happen in my life. And "stuff" will always happen in my life. But I'm learning how to process and respond to "stuff."
My topic is about my journey leading up to my decision to end my life, my decision not to end my life, and my decision to live my life. My life is far from perfect, but I've learned and I continue to learn how to move forward. I wish to share my story with those who may need to learn or re-learn how to move forward.

A company owner’s highest priority – “maximize ownership profits” is not even on the list of their department head’s top five priorities.In this, and many, cases, a company’s staff tolerates excessive costs just to avoid “the hassle” of thinking about how to reduce them.
As this practice is everywhere, it’s why DCI always uncovers savings. It’s also why we intentionally design our solutions to decrease everybody else’s workload, frustration, and stress, while increasing a company owner’s wealth.
