Sucide , mental health and why “it can never be me ”.
I used to think the same until life humbled me .It can be you .You don’t understand it until you have been there .
Mental health is real .
Life can become overwhelming that you start asking :
“What is the point of all this ?”
“Why should I continue ?“
And it’s not because you’re weak .
It’s because you ‘re tired .
I’ve been tired more times than I can count .
Not tired like “I need rest .”
Tired like “ I don’t know how to keep pushing .”
I fought my way out , not because it was easy but God helped me and I chose to fight even when I didn’t fully want to .
People say , “speak out. ”
But when people do speak out , they ‘re ignored or dismissed.
Your friend vents in jokes .
They hint on serious days they’ re struggling . And we respond with,
“Is it not you again ? “Big man ”
We laugh it off. Then we’re shocked when something happens.
A friend killed himself, and it shook me deeply.
Do you think he wanted to die,
or was he just exhausted from pushing through a life that kept taking from him?
Sometimes people don’t want to die.
They just want the pain to stop.
It can be you.
It can be me.
It can be anyone.
Life happened, and it changed my perspective.
Nobody really cares and it’s reality.
It reminds you that the only person truly responsible for your survival is yourself.
Be kind, even when you don’t understand.
Listen when people vent.
Stop dismissing people when they say they can’t afford certain things.
Financial stress is real.
Emotional stress is real.
Silent battles are real.
