Trigger Warning!: Suicide (thoughts)

[sadwaffle]

I posted this exact same drawing a year ago, and believe it or not, it has become one of my symbol of hope. As weird as it is, whenever I look at this drawing it's like a reminder for me to keep on going. Because every time i see it, I always have the idea that someday, when I get better, I'll redraw this again but with the version of Happiness, relieved, or just the complete opposite of the vibe this drawing is giving. I wanna be there in that "someday".

I hope the people here, or all the depressed people in general find the courage to keep going, to never give up. I, myself isn't sure if i can make it or if i'll ever get better, but I'm not stopping now. Neither should you. I know there are doubts, voices telling you to give up, but please don't give in. We're all in this together. I stated in the caption of this post from last year that everyday is a battle but it only take one lost to somehow end that fight. But every single day, every single fight of everyday at end, if you're still breathing you're winning. You may not be productive, you may feel like you're just forcing yourself to exist, it's still winning, you're still here, alive. And you should be proud of yourself. Please don't ever give up. We can get through this.

I wish it would FEEL like winning when I just try to get from one moment to the next. Thanks for reminding us that we’re in this together and we have each other’s backs. I just wish I had this in my everyday life.

Usedtobe, 1 picture can be a powerful statement without words.

Have you ever fought suicidal thoughts? If so, how have you overcome them? Mine stem from trauma and the inability to forgive myself for something out of character that I did to someone I love?

The thought of suicide has never even crossed my mind. I can't imagine the depth of

pain one must feel in getting to that point. I embrace life each and every day and so

was so thankful that Sadwaffle's post had a positive impact on you and kept you safe

for the moment.

I don't think there is one of us who hasn't done something in their life that they regret especially when hurting loved ones. But you must forgive yourself and if possible ask forgiveness to the one you hurt. There needs to be some closure for you by emotionally letting go of what happened. Suicide is not a closure but an premature ending of a life that could have been. I hope you resolve these feelings with a professional who will know the right thing to say and to guide you in the right path forward. My thoughts are with you xx
