Don't do it

By Anonymous - 12/04/2024 08:00 - United States - Coventry

Today, I finally caved and told a friend about my suicide note. She demanded that I promise I wouldn't follow through, but how could I when I was writing it no more than a few minutes before I joined a call with her? The funny thing is, most of that note was me trying to comfort my friends and family for when I'm gone. FML

Hi. OK, a promise is not going to hold up when the demons start talking. I have been suicidal and I know how hard it can be to fight the urge on a minute by minute basis. I am really glad that I didn't end things when I was in that state because I have since found my purpose in a big way. If you are at the point where you are trying to mitigate the effect on your loved ones, that means that you are serious about it. Friend, don't fight this on your own. PLEASE talk to someone. You can walk into the nearest hospital, police station, fire station or even dog shelter, someone there will talk to you. Just talk to someone, don't try to fight this on your own. And know that this storm will pass and it will one day just be a memory, sooner than you think. There is a way out, and it is not suicide. You have more to offer the world and you have more to offer your family than just heartache and unanswered questions. Your life is worth more than that. Even if you just give one meal to one homeless person or one stray animal, every day, your life and your future and the amazing experiences that your will still have are worth more than what you are contemplating. Good luck!!!

Reminder that in the US you can call or text 988. Other countries have resources as well. You can talk to someone who cares right away. You're in charge of writing your own story. This doesn't have to be the last chapter.

Suicide is never the answer, but admitting this, is a step towards realizing you need help. Seek it out, anyone, everyone, single or group therapy, just need to take that one first baby step in finding the help that works for you.

Oh, friend, I'm so so sorry for the hole you've found yourself in. My note was also all about comforting others. That was 7 years ago, which is shocking to me. I remember those days feeling like they'd never end. My way out was through dropping out of school, attending a partial in-hospitalization program, and a small pull of blind, stupid hope. The things I learned in that program really helped. Do what you need to do. You belong here. Thank you for staying around for as long as you have - I know it's so hard. Keep holding on, friend.
