Note from the author 1/3:

I am only doing as well as I am today thanks to the people around me. I suffer from depression, and anxiety, PTSD, and have a history of self-harm. At this time of writing in March 2023, I am medicated for my issues, and have been to therapy. Which helped greatly.

I have had plenty of suicidal fantasies in my life, and spent a lot of my childhood (about 11-19 years old) wishing for death due to my abusive father. I would wish to die nearly every other day and hated my life at the time. The only reason I didn't end my life like my mother did (when I was 9-10 years old) was because I knew it wasn't the right thing to do. I still love her and do not blame her for what she did.

She was suffering from mental health issues herself and didn't get the help she needed.

I am sharing this in an attempt to help others who may be suffering from poor mental health or having other difficulties in life.

Please seek help, you are NOT alone, you DO matter. There ARE better days ahead.

Reach out. The right people will be there for you. The right people will understand.

Be kind to others, and don't forget to be kind to yourself too.
