💖 SIX YEARS SUICIDE ATTEMPT FREE 💖

Six years ago, it was too painful for me to continue living.

Deep down, I didn’t want to die.

I just wanted the pain to stop.

I thought about my cats, if I was to go, who would take care of them.

I thought about my family and my friends and who would weep at my funeral.

People who are suicidal are not weak people.

People who are suicidal don’t just “commit suicide”, and it’s not a crime to feel suicidal.

People who are suicidal just want the pain to stop.

And feel listened, feel heard and seen when they are going through emotions and feelings.

Two days ago was World Suicide Prevention Day.

Let’s keep the conversation going and bring awareness and that people are not weak and bad for feeling suicidal.

I am so proud of how far I have gone with my mental health.

I am so proud of the work I do in the mental health space and glad to call it my day job.
