There are people rooting for you in this race whether you’re “winning,” “losing,” or just trying to make it through.
I was in therapy for fifteen weeks, called the crisis line six times, and made one attempt to stop the pain. But these numbers are not the ones that define my experience.
Today I thought about the ways I could kill myself. A mental list formed in my mind.
I’ve gone through much of my life in a rush to get through...
I lived on a hamster wheel, in constant fear that I would lose everything I had earned if I dared to stop and take a break.

Suicidal thoughts and self-harm urges do not define me. The ups and downs of my recovery do not define me. The worry that I'm disappointing my family does not define me.
I stuttered, “I…I’m suicidal.” I nearly passed out as those words fell from my lips.

I’m no stranger to suicidal ideation. I hate calling it that, because it sounds so much more intense than what I feel, which is a passive wish to no longer exist.
