"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."
Wow I'm probably gonna remember that for the rest of my life.
I'm 22, had hideous teenage years. I lost about 3 friends to suicide in the space of two years and several other friends. I was alone, my family hate me and I tried it a couple of times.
I guess I started to feel I wasn't succeeding because something was keeping me here.
I fell pregnant with my daughter at 16 and frankly she saved my life. I now have two children and still suffer with depression and mental illness, it does still cross my mind. I feel like a horrible mother and I'm undeserving but I haven't tried it for years and hope I will never feel so desperate that I have to again.
My advice to anyone would be to think about the people around you. You may not think your death will affect anyone but trust me it may even be the most unlikely of people that it will haunt for the rest of their lives.
EDIT: Just so you know, I openly admit I am a complete coward.
