WARNING : THIS PIECE DISCUSSES SUICIDE AND MENTAL ILLNESS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you know this might trigger you, do not read it and please skip to the next chapter.
I am suffocating. I know I need to reach out for help but who can help me. My mother has no sympathy for rich people who commit suicide. Like money could ever buy true happiness. But how am I any better than them? I have the resources and the means but no one to help guide me through the door. Coming out is not easy when there is no one to support you. Worse yet, how can you come out with a mental illness when you know no one will believe you. I understand their pain. To have the money to afford therapy and the access to receive counselling online but to not have the voice to say that you are drowning in pain. We are all drowning in pain. I know that now. As I drown tonight I hope everyone understands that suicide is no easy thing. Whether you think it is cowardly or brave, it takes a lot for someone to kill them self. I hope you never come to understand such pain yet I know some of you will. I'm sorry.
***
If you are drowning, please reach out for help. I am always here for you. You are not alone. You are worth it. Your life has meaning. You deserve the best in life. You deserve to live.
~ How do you combat your mental illness if you have one?
Sending you all my love XOXO
