moving through life like a shallow shell of a soul. They know exactly what hurts, yet they cannot express it. They have become entirely numb to the world. No tears will come out, but they feel every ounce of pain deep inside while their heart cries out in silence.
Not everyone who is suicidal harms themselves in the same way. Some cut themselves to feel physical pain as a distraction from their mental and emotional agony.
Others hurt themselves through quiet neglect, slowly destroying their bodies by refusing to eat, refusing to sleep, and engaging in self-abuse. But there is an even deeper level of suffering. It is the person who feels completely empty, unable to find their purpose,
nights you can’t sleep. nights that you doubt yourself and the decisions you are making. nights that makes you anxious for what the future holds for you.
