FOR ME, BEING ABLE TO ADMIT THAT THINGS WERE NOT OKAY SAVED MY LIFE.
Here’s how.
There was a time where I was super suicidal and reached out to my doctor about it. I knew that when my mindset hit this place, anything could happen. I mean, if I recall correctly, it had about three months since I’d last tried to commit suicide.
Unfortunately, my doctor was unavailable. I asked the receptionist to please get the message through. I put down all reservations and said, tell my doctor I am very suicidal.
I left that message resolved with my decision and went home to die.
That call saved my life.
My doctor received the message and called my grandmother (love her), who found me unresponsive at home.
I have little memory of that day other than I’m grateful.
For those fighting through anything — do not let anyone make you feel ashamed to say how you really feel. And don’t let anyone tell you that you won’t be healed.
