I'm glad you're still alive.

For what it’s worth, that was almost 7 years ago after losing my brother to cancer. My life is mostly wonderful now. Therapy and medication have been incredibly helpful.

seeing these downvotes but it really does depend on who you're talking to. i've called & also gotten Fuck All.

I don’t want to discourage anyone from reaching out to get help, but at the same time if it’s not spoken about, the ppl in charge might think it’s working well. All I can speak of is my experience, and my experience hasn’t been a good one. Calling made me feel worse.

Ultimately, what helped me through my tough time was constantly telling myself it’s mind over matter, even if that wasn’t the full truth. I hope everyone can get the help they need❤️
