Hi SG! This blog talks about a very personal and serious topic, I hope you want to read this :)
One of the reasons I was absent last year (2017) is because I had a really hard depression... I've never experienced something similar, and I was that kind of people who thought that suicide was related to drugs, alcoholism or severe depression BUT I realized that it was not like that, because 6 months ago I seriously thought about ending my life... I had no motivation, money problems, love problems, work problems, friendship problems, family problems... everything came together, and so this seems stupid, for me it was really hard.
I called my best friend and I told him:
- Ok this is the end, I'm gonna kill myself right now but I'm afraid
He was really calm and said:
- Wait 10 minutes, i"ll be right there
He came to my house and we spoke for hours and he told me...
- I'm not gonna tell you don't do it, because that's an exit, but just wait a week... give me that!
I didn't understand why but I did it, and he was with me all those days... ALL he did was listening to me.... and ONE WEEK later I didn't want to kill myself.
After that, i started to research about suicidal thoughts and I realized that many people who think about it or try it, leave those ideas behind, when they find someone who listens to them, and that's all... that easy, someone who listens without judging, just as it happened to me.
