When someone commits suicide, people usually ask, "Why didn't they ask for help?" "Why didn't they talk to someone?". The thing is though, sometimes, they do ask for help. It may not be them directly saying "Help me". It may be them giving away all their things. It may be them suddenly becoming the happiest person after a long string of depression. It may even be them giving little hints such as "This stuff won't matter soon enough". When my best friend killed herself, I knew that it was my fault. Everyone told me that I shouldn't think like that. They told me that there was nothing I could do. She was already too far gone. They were wrong though. If I would have paid more attention to her, maybe read between the lines a bit more, she would still be alive today. I failed her as a best friend. Nothing anyone ever said to me would change my mind on the situation. After her death, I changed. But that's what trauma does to you. It changes you. What I didn't know though, is that the change I was going through, may bring me closer to understanding her and how she felt that day than I ever thought possible.All Rights Reserved
