I wish I could say I was lucky, but I too, feel this.
This day is not just another one for me, it's one I survived each year. So many people truly don't understand what trauma and struggling can do to most people, especially in extended periods of time. For some of us, it could be our whole lives.
It's easy to say, why didn't you call or why didn't they reach out. It's easy to say carry on. It's easy to turn a blind eye. It's easy to judge and criticise. It's easy to find faults in others. It's easy to not understand. It's easy to not care. It's easy to say get help.
But will you sit in the darkness with someone? Have you sat with someone who struggles with suicidal ideation? Have you been through the pits of hell and back?
Choose compassion and love always. You have no idea what anyone goes through.
I'm happy you are here, and that we are here together. I love you.
