TW// Suicide anniversary

Mentions of suicide attempts!!
So on the 8th July it will be 3 years since I attempted to end my life…strange to think I was 15 and didn’t think I’d make it to 18 and now I’m 18 and still here 🫠

Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

you deserve so much love and positivity in life.
sending you the biggest of hugs
If you feel comfy sharing, how are you feeling about the anniversary? I hear it's a little bit strange to think how different your life is now you're 18 compared to when you were 15. This is totally valid and I can understand that this isn't exactly how you expected your life to pan out. We're glad you're here with us in our community River.
It feels like uncomfy in a way 🥲
thank you for sharing that with us. that’s such a huge thing to carry, and i just want to say that i am really, really glad you’re still here. i can’t even imagine how hard that time must have been, but the fact that you’ve made it to now, to 18, says so much about your strength, even if it doesn’t always feel like it!
anniversaries like that can bring up a lot of emotions, maybe pride, confusion, pain, maybe all of it at once? but whatever you’re feeling around it is totally valid. i hope you know that your life matters, and the world is better with you in it.
i’m so so so proud of you
