Description

Do you ever feel like you weren’t meant to be here—like you’re the unwanted guest at a party? I’ve felt that most of my life. I'm sharing the shift that pulled me back from the edge: making a violent commitment to living—taking suicide off the table (Plan B) so I could finally go all-in on Plan A. I cover the “burn the ships” mindset, the difference between having a thought and entertaining a thought, and why small coping tips can feel absurd when the pain is massive—plus what to do instead.If you’re in crisis (U.S.): call/text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org.
