At the beginning of 2017, I landed a full time job after spending years and years searching and thought I found my dream job. I was very happy and thought 2017 was going to be the best year of my life. Couple of months later I suffered from anxiety and Post traumatic Stress disorder. I tried to tell people close to me about how I was feeling but they didn't understand mental health very well and said you will be fine. I asked them if I was just being dramatic and they said "Yes" I kept on having more symptoms and felt like I had no one to talk to. I couldn't tell the close people in my life because they didn't understand. On the 31/7/2017, after a lot of nightmares and panic attacks, I decided to commit suicide. Luckily I was unsuccessful and I am in a much better place now. I decided after that experience that I was going do my best to help people and prevent someone from going through what I went through. I believe I would have not attempted to take my life if there was someone I could have spoken to or even a random stranger or website where I could write my thoughts and feelings. This page is not just for someone with mental health issues or big problems but for someone with small problems that seem insignificant. It is also for someone to express any type of thoughts and happy and sad feelings. Also it is for someone who just wants to vent. It is a place of total honesty and support. For those that are hurting out there, please remember SUICIDE is not the answer and things will get better. Getting through the tough time is what makes you stronger. Life is not perfect or a fairy tale, Life is the messy bits.
