To the edge....

This author is very powerful and her words written here fill me with awe. I've been to the edge many times and each time I've grown stronger. I've come out with bruises and some painful scars too...but I've come out.

When you read this, did you remember? Did you give thought to all the times you were at your edge? To all the times your scars burned? To all the times you felt the cracks? 

What did you remember?

Did you give thought too to all the times you survived and walked through what you once thought you wouldn't?

It can be painful to remember those times in our lives but when we do we also need to remember all the times we screamed at the world....

"YOU CAN'T BREAK ME"

Yes, I remember. I haven't told anyone about this, my only actual suicide attempt. The pain was SO bad, I wanted to end my life. On the way home from the ER, I had decided that I would do it, I would stop the suffering. I took a handful of Benadryl at home and went to bed, not expecting to wake up. What I didn't realize is that Benadryl is one of the safest drugs, and it takes a VERY large quantity to overdose on. Regardless, I woke up three hours later, and no longer felt like I needed to end it all. What I had needed was rest. I feel like I had been guided to use the Benadryl instead of any other medicine. Regardless of whether it was chance or divine intervention, I haven't looked back. Suicide is now something I will NOT accept. I became a fighter that night, and still am. Though I still have my tough days, days that make me cry, I have a purpose now. May you all find your purpose, too.
