Day #5 A time you thought about ending your own life
I’ve been through a lot in my 25-years of life. My family has been both a blessing and a curse. In my mid teens I had a bad bout with depression and had very real suicidal thoughts due to the stress of my parents. One is a paranoid schizophrenic who went crazy on my mom and I, and my mom was physically ill with a slew of health problems. Offing it seemed the best choice.
Later in my college years, the stress of being a medical school bound person really has it’s pressure. I battle with the stressors of it still, since I’m not quite done. I put more pressure on myself than anyone else. I have never attempted suicide, but often it helps to fancy the idea, to get me through battles. Perhaps it’s strange, but there you go.
