(TW). Tomorrow (September 10th) is World Suicide Prevention Day. On the 16th, it will be 7 years since I was admitted to hospital for the first time. I was 16, had just started sixth form, and the years of anxiety and OCD became too much. I didn’t think I had a future. I was wrong. Some things I would like you reading this to know: ⭐️ the future holds an infinite number of possibilities. it might seem terrifying, but so many good memories are waiting to be made. ⭐️ you won’t feel like this forever. our emotions fluctuate. our perspective on situations shift. our thoughts come and go. no matter how long you feel you have been ‘stuck’, there is always hope, as long as you are here. ⭐️ you are not a failure. everyone is on their own timeline in life, with their own end goals. comparing yourself to others doesn’t help, because everyone’s lives are too different to compare and we only see a portion of other people’s lives. ⭐️ you WILL be okay. you can cope with far more than you think you can. ⭐️ i know the pain is hard. if I could take it away in a heartbeat, i would. it won’t be there forever. it might come back for a little while, but it will go away again. just as the sun always rises again after night. ⭐️ future you is grateful you keep fighting and is rooting for you.
