For once I'm struggling with what to say here...usually I can cover a topic quickly and be done with it but this one is too close to my own heart and I'm not sure what to say or how to say it.
I've been there...minutes away even...and I know what it feels like. I know how tempting the thought is...I know how peaceful it makes you feel once you finally decide to. But I'm here today to tell you that it's not the option. I thought it was too once but it's NOT.
This feeling will pass and yes I know you may not believe me right now...your're hurting...I know you are... but please don't. Please take another day and talk to someone. Reach out for the help you need. It's perfectly normal to feel lost, scared, confused and all the things you may be feeling right now. It's okay. But what's not okay is for you to give in or to give up. Please...if you're struggling right now...know that there are options you can turn to.
If you or someone you know is struggling right now please use and/or share this information. There is help out there and it's confidential. Reach out and take the chance. There is help out there and you are worth fighting for.
I'd like to take a moment to share some important numbers, links and other wise important information. This was found on line from a PTSD & Depression support group and I take no credit for it.
