One day, I really mean this, you will be incredibly grateful it was harder than you’d hoped it would’ve been. Please trust me. From ages 6-21 I was sui**dal and in and out of hospitals, treatment centers, rehab, sober homes, you name it. I’m 22 now and my life flipped up and I’m so fucking glad it didn’t work. I never thought it could get better and this means even if it gets worse it CAN become tolerable then enjoyable again. Hold on friend🖤
it’s so stereotypical but I literally hit the bottom of rock bottom like THE DEPTHS. And I’m not advocating for anyone to intentionally do that but that’s just what happened to me. About 10 months ago I went off my medication (I have bipolar among other things) and had a really serious episode unlike any other I’ve ever had. And I was in it for months. I did, however, wake up one day and think it’s been enough. Almost 2 decades of pure suffering and things like being abused stuff like that. It
was enough for me. I’d hit my limit. So I started taking therapy seriously, I started applying myself because I knew I could and that no one else would save me. I worked hard with my psychiatrist to find medicine, I was brutally honest if it wasn’t working and about side effects. I’ve been taking it regularly and practicing living my own life regularly. I think it happens when you just know this is my limit. That I’m going to do this for real this time. Because every other time I wasn’t there
Right now after applying skills, regularly taking medicine, and lmfao ik it’s a weird way to put it but grinding, I am moving into an apartment with roommates and going back to school. And my cat is so much happier and my relationship with my bf is thriving. I wish I could express how possible it is for other because not even a year ago I was attempting and in and out of hospitals, and ik it’s not been so long but again. If it can get worse, and then better, it’ll get better again
Sorry didn’t mean to preach but I just want you to know I was JUST there not long at all ago, and maybe I’ll even end up there again, but one day I’ll have worked hard enough and found my grooves to get to a point where I am stable for as long as I want to be. And this is true for so many people. I believe in you I promise you it’s possible you just have to keep going for now
