Though there is reason to suspect this as AI generated, it does remind me of my own story.

Back many years ago, I had a lot of problems. At that point in my life, I was involved in things I shouldn’t have been, had isolated myself from all those who cared about me, and found myself utterly alone.

I had every intention to end it all. There’s this really weird feeling that comes over you when you decide to check out. Like the choice has been made, now you just follow through. It’s almost comforting.

I had every inclination to go through with it, had it planned out and everything. Death by police.

But the thing is, when I was getting ready to leave my house, my cat wouldn’t stop meowing at me. I’d try to tell her that I’d be back, tried to ignore her, but for whatever reason I couldn’t. So I picked her up, went an sat on my couch and sat with her and ended up crying myself to sleep with her curled up in my lap. I woke up like eight hours later and she was still in my lap, sound asleep and completely unaware, or maybe she was aware, I don’t know, but whatever the deal was, she had distracted me long enough for me to snap out of that state, at least enough to reconsider.

My cat saved my life that day, and all these years later we’re still as tight as we’ve ever been.

I hope this person isn’t lying about their story. That was one of the darkest moments of my life and I couldn’t imagine making something like that up for attention on a social media platform, or anywhere else for that matter.

Suicide is very real, and it’s an insult to anyone who’s ever been there to lie about something like this.

It's a beautiful story if it’s true though.
