During my darkest times in life, I had nothing to resort to but pain and misery, on the brink of ending it all looking down at the depths of it all and seeing peace and happiness once and for all. I thought I could never be saved and nearly killed myself 3 times but somehow I just wouldn’t die. I’ve been to an asylum, etc. talked to various shrinks but at the end of the day, none of it could help, only I could. That was 4 years ago during my junior year of high school when I was displaced from everything I knew of. I posted my story here like everyone else does and received support from people who I didn’t even know but were going through the same thing I was going through. Some have succumbed to the darkness which saddens me, but I know that they fulfilled the wish they wanted and are truly happy now. As dumb as it may seem, this website saved me from falling into the darkness. I’m now back in Cali going to university even though all is not perfect, it’s manageable. I’ve lurked a good amount in my time of nearly killing myself and watched myself transform and rise from the depths of the darkness. I know that sometimes thing may seem like an impossible task, that it’s all too much and that there’s nothing left to do but give up hope and end it all, I felt that way as well but I guess I’ve managed to still find my way here somehow, however try, try your hardest to wake up the next day as maybe you can find the light in the darkest caverns of life. I’m thankful for everything this website has given me, helping others has aided me in helping myself and something I’m passionate about to this date. Even though I may be “better”, I’ll never forget any of this and where I came from and how it’s made me the person I am today. So for whatever reason if you’re feeling like you can’t take it anymore, try your hardest to wake up the next day as maybe you’ll find the light to the otherside.
Love you all, feel free to email me if you ever feel like you need someone to talk to.
