Have you ever experienced feelings of wanting to end your life? Have you ever wished things were over? Now I'm not talking about those days when you're feeling bummed out, or your hair didn't turn out as well as you would have liked, those days you missed the bus and was late for work, or even those days when someone you thought loved you breaks up with you. I'm talking about those days when you couldn't see living beyond the present day, the days when thoughts and feelings of ending your own life brought a sense of peace you've been wanting and searching for. The days when ending your own life felt like your best and only option.
Have you ever felt like that?
These feelings don't usually go away in a day or two either do they? No....they stick around and they can bring you down further. Thoughts and feeling such as these pervade every corner in your mind, they affect everything you do, don't they? Mine did too. Feelings like these can be very powerful and hard to ignore when your own thoughts are going down the rabbit hole and you're chasing them trying to figure out "why".
