It’s so hard to talk when you want to kill yourself. That’s above and beyond everything else, and it’s not a mental complaint-it’s a physical thing. Like it’s physically hard to open your mouth and make the words come out. So you just keep quiet.
Yes that’s true. But you’re writing about it. So that’s good.
It does get easier. Once you start, each time it’s easier with the next person. Recently I got better at talking about it because I was afraid I was really going to do it without having control at all. I talked to the doctor, a referral team, the Samaritans (twice), my council suicide hotline (whatever it’s called), and a doctor who assessed what kind of therapy I should get on the phone. It got easier every time, and I’ve been talking to friends now too. They probably think I’m crazy but most of them have really helped.
Who do you think should know what you have to say?

@pinkcoconut I don’t know..I really don’t want anyone to know about it. I am glad I can at least express myself in here
