It gets better

Two times in my life I have almost ended everything. After the first time I never got the help I really needed, and just went on assuming things would get better on their own. Two years later I found myself in the same spot, and this time I was serious. I went to do it, and a phone call from a friend turned into me telling them what I was about to do. They immediately came and got me, and I lived to see another day. I’ll spare you the details of my attempts, but my point is not where I was, but where I am now. The same me that was ready to die a month ago is now on the road to recovery, in counseling, on medication I should have been on for anxiety and depression for years, exercising regularly, and pretty satisfied with my life. My point is that you can’t just sit around and hope it will get better. You have to help yourself. Talk to someone about how you feel, go see a professional, yes it can be scary but they can help you. Just try it, because I promise you, I thought it was waste of my time until I went and I feel so much better now.
