Today is World Su***de prevention day and this is the first time i would have the guts to admit openly that i have attempted su***de severally.
Please if you are close to me Dont ask me privately. I am not ready to share explicitly until i deal with all of my demons.
I can only assure you i wont try committing su***de again and the major reason is that everything i tried didn’t work.
I have woken up in a pool of my own blood severally and found myself still alive. Disappointed that i was still alive. So i stopped trying.
It’s so easy for people to say “how can anyone even think of taking their own life” but the truth is, it’s many people’s reality. Some people are merely hanging by a thread, likely to drop at the slightest provocation. Just one traumatic experience away from succumbing to pressure.
The truth is: people don’t just wake up and decide to die.
It’s pain, silence, trauma, and hopelessness that lead them there.
If you’ve ever felt this way, I want you to know you’re not alone. If life has pushed you to the edge, I see you. I am you. And I’m still here.
And if you’ve never been there, please, be kind. You might be the reason someone holds on for one more day.
Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, let’s remember:
• Check on your strong friends.
• Replace judgment with compassion.
• Replace silence with safe conversations.
I am still fighting. And if I could crawl out of that darkness, then maybe, just maybe, you can too.
I would have said Happy ***dePreventionDay but there is absolutely nothing happy about Sui-cide
Hang in there. Love & light.
