Crying out for Help

!Before you read any further, this post does have a trigger warning!

I want to talk about suicide. This is a hard, sensitive subject to talk about. As a mental health advocate, I want to end the stigma and be more open about my struggle. It started at the age of 13 when I thought about ending my life after my mother passed away from cancer. I still struggle with it and its been a constant battle. When I talk to people about my thoughts they look at me as an attention seeker…that’s not the case. I want them to know I’m talking to them because my thoughts are so dark…I’m crying out for help. I want to escape from my pain. Not technically leave this earth if that makes sense. I try so hard not to have those kind of thoughts and it hasn’t been easy. I know that I have a purpose here on earth, I want to use my story to inspire and help people.

Always remember you are strong brave and you are not alone. Keep fighting, don’t give up. WE will get through this together.
