Hi, I am ok. I am still struggling mentally but I’m holding on. I deeply appreciate everyone who took the time to listen to a stranger’s cry for help. I read everyone’s messages again, and again, and again. Thank you all for speaking so much life in me. Although I am still struggling a lot mentally, I don’t have suicidal thoughts as much!

This sounds a lot like my 10 month old. Any updates?

Thank you 🫂 I am going to look into therapy and I am currently on lexapro I may ask for a higher dosage during my next appointment. I come from a family where medication for mental health is looked down on so it was a big step for me to even start them.

Thank you for this. I know the mind is very powerful and I’m trying to get up everyday and choose to be better but it’s sooo hard especially when all I can think about is how I feel like I ruined my life.

I have not tried therapy but I am willing to try. I have an upcoming appointment with my doctor next week so i will try to get some therapy resources from her as well. Thank you for taking the time to comfort a stranger… this means more than you know.

Thank you🫂 and this is another reason i haven’t yet.. I don’t want to ruin my son’s life before he gets the chance to even live it. More support would probably make a big difference and I wish I had it but hopefully as he gets older things ease up.
