Wrote this for an Instagram story. Edit. MBSR course going well. Weeks been way too hard (as all those whose posts I always comment on - I tend to comment on every post of my folliqers/following will know I haven't been reading much). CMHT app in 2.5 weeks. Had my friends sign up for the…
Is suicide the solution?
Suicide. It's a word that scares many and brings hope to others. I started my blog elizareasonstolive (which for now is down) when I wanted to focus on the reasons to live, rather than reasons to die. I would post reasons to live, at the same time as doing things to end my life. I…
I wish I could have told you this before you killed yourself
I wrote this in January 2019 Today's been, long. A 16 year old here ended her life yesterday. It makes me sad for her. Sad for she had an entire life to live. In some sense jealous that she isn't here. Guilt for wanting that. Grateful to be here. Sad for her family, for all…

I wish I could have told you this before you killed yourself – RTL
I'm sad. Well, I don't feel anything at all at the moment. I'm reblogging part of the letter I wrote a few months back - what I wish I could have said before she/he succeeded. What I wish I could write to every single person who faces the question, should they hang on for another…
