**TW- talks of su*cide**
I wanted to make a post and sincerely thank everyone who has made an effort to be there for me and support me.
A lot of people don’t know, but last year and the years prior were absolutely some of the worst years of my life. I have always struggled with major depression and severe anxiety (diagnosed) and as a teenager, i didn’t think I would live past 16. Then at the end of 2024 and into 2025, I didn’t want to be here anymore.
I was regularly reaching out to any hotline I could. I fell back into self harming briefly. I really thought it would be the end for me.
I’m extremely thankful that I had such good friends that did everything they could to listen to me and to try and provide me resources to get better. What helped me the most was to have someone to listen to me and to never make me feel like a burden. I genuinely owe everything to you guys (you know who you are and I love you so much)
I went through so much shit in that time that I didn’t deserve and it’s left a huge mark on me I will carry the rest of my life.
I wanted to give a huge shoutout to the one and only helpline that consistently helped me, Suicide Awareness and Prevention. They have a chat you can speak to someone to via Facebook (how I contacted them because I felt uncomfortable with a phone call) but they also have many other means to help.
and finally, please remember to be kind. you never truly know what someone is going through.
