Collection: Mental Health Awareness

Deep depression set in and I attempted to take my life. I attempted to commit suicide twice. Both times were unsuccessful. The third time, I strategized. I researched how to take pills and be done with it. I finally discovered a successful method for how to take my life. I would go to see a psychiatrist under the guise of seeking help. Then I would secure psychotic medications that I felt would cause me to succeed when I embarked on my third attempt. Instead, my life took an unexpected turn. While I was aiming to take my life, the doctor asked me a question that made me pause, effectively stifling my third attempt. That question would lead me down a different path--a path toward living.
