@Guttedandblue there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel, I promise you.
I've been where you are and I know how all consuming it is. I had planned my suicide after years of crippling mental illness and was at peace with my decision, thinking that I would be better off out of this world.
Last minute, I realised I had an appointment for a massage and decided it would be rude to let them down so went to it.
As soon as I walked in, she knew I wasn't ok and spent hours talking to me and talked me out of it.
I am so so so glad she took that time with me and saved me.
I genuinely believed that my life would never improve as I was in the darkest place but it's 11 years later and my life now is so much happier than my life then.
I have a husband and two wonderful children and have been mentally stable for 9 years...something I didn't believe was possible for me.
If you leave this earth now, you are robbing yourself of all the future joys that are yet to come.
Believe me, I know that right now things may feel bleak and the pain you're feeling is all you can see but I assure you, things can and will get better!
Please speak to someone. Get some help and love from the people around you.
I don't know you but I'm rooting for you 💖
