Remember if you're having mental anguish problems like it sounds they were, the suicide hotline is now available calling or texting 988.

For what it’s worth, that was almost 7 years ago after losing my brother to cancer. My life is mostly wonderful now. Therapy and medication have been incredibly helpful.

I don’t want to discourage anyone from reaching out to get help, but at the same time if it’s not spoken about, the ppl in charge might think it’s working well. All I can speak of is my experience, and my experience hasn’t been a good one. Calling made me feel worse.

Ultimately, what helped me through my tough time was constantly telling myself it’s mind over matter, even if that wasn’t the full truth. I hope everyone can get the help they need❤️
