Hi everyone
I’m calling myself A Survivor – this will enable me to be as honest as possible about my experience with suicide and I guess rape too, as this was the reason why I felt so ashamed and unworthy to be alive and walking around on this earth.
This isn’t going to be easy or pretty but I will tell my story as best as I can. If I can prevent or deter someone from actually completing a suicide, then I can die a happy person – but not via suicide! 🙂
Welcome all and I hope we can have some really meaningful and open discussions about suicide and all of the strings attached. Sometimes it just helps to talk and I am here for exactly that.
Peace, love and light peeps – don’t beat yourself up, don’t let yourself down – just take a breath and believe in yourself.
A Survivor
Your post is Inspiring 🙂✌️

Being a veteran and having experienced suicide through my own personal mental health and being diagnosed with PTSD I can relate to you in some ways. You are a warrior, and to write a paragraph like you have which is so personal shows a lot of character. You’re very strong with a good heart. Thanks for sharing, keep being you and I hope you find peace and solitude within your own mind. If you have a read of my own poems, you can see the battles I had and still do. Best wishes, keep well.

Thank you so much. I’ve just been over for a visit and see the similarities. Our loves, our losses, our joys, our crosses…life is a crazy ride but I’m still hanging on!😊 I think we have to share experiences to know we’re not alone. Take care and stay safe.

We share our stories to improve the lives of others, but more importantly by sharing our thoughts, our demons we are helping ourselves to recover. Stay strong, look after yourself Kait.

It is a brave thing to do and it definitely is cathartic. What is awesome is how many strangers empathize or sadly, can relate to your story. We are not alone and I believe way more women are sexually abused than they realise. Time to take back our power, our bodies, our truth!
