The choice

While at a dark point in my visit to the hospital I almost made the choice to hurt myself but I walked into a special person...was it by chance? I do not know till this day. But one thing is for sure, she talked me out of something I would’ve regretted.

So I channeled that experience into a poem that to this day makes me grateful for her presence.

To my hero. B a poem inspired by you.

The choice

Early one day I went on a trip and on my way I found a paperclip...

At first it was something innocent, a fidget toy..

But later on could my life destroy..

I do not know how to rid myself of this dark beast that clutches my heart..

Threatening to unearth pain, reminding me of things that tore my life apart..

I sat there wanting to cry..My mind filled with confusion and I don’t know why...

Should I choose to live or should I choose to die?

Because I no longer know how to live...

How to try..

Being someone great..

Someone powerful enough to change the course of fate?

Then I walked into you and knew...

That what I was thinking, was not what I should do..

Thank you for your help, the opportunity to see my worth...

The chance to have many more days on this wondrous earth..

#dont want to left out

I’m an older person and only know basic skills in talking on FB or other places. I can’t seem to learn the Messenger site except if sent pics and such. Sometimes family want everyone to copy and paste items... these things I don’t know how to do and fear being left behind. I hope I’m not being silly, I really fear it though

#dont know what’s wrong #no motivation #Bipolar

I really don’t know what’s wrong. No one in my house understands me.As a matter of fact I don’t even understand me last weekend I had a great weekend I’m a hoarder but I got rid of a lot of stuff at a free sell I had. Been working on my room for seven years i got a couple things done I have no motivation I have been laying out of work. I just started crying I really don’t know why I have a Lotta things happen within the last two years have a boyfriend that loves me and I love him. Things are looking up but right now I guess I’m disappointed in myself I have three days to clean up my room and I just keep trying . to get it done. But I just can’t. Compared to what it look like it looks a lot better in here but in my eyes I can’t see it sometimes. I want to go for nowTake care

Through depression #we can overcome it#dont letit control you

I am still in denial stage that I have depression cause then I know things happened to me but I don't even know how to start cause having depression is not a weirdo
I think its normal cause everyone has their reasons why they are depressed
never let it stop you from doing what you love

DONT LET IT CONROL YOUR LIFE AND SAYWHAT YOU CAN AND CANT DO CAUSE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU LOVE TO DO #do what you love

So proud. #Depression #Suicide #CheerMeOn

I know this a bit off topic but today my wife was a finalist for Citizen of the year for our city. To be one of six finalists from a city of 400,000 people is a great achievement. To think I came so close to suicide 3 months ago. It was such a blessing to be at her awards lunch today.

#stay focused # be positive

there’s nothing worse than feeling #disorientated # can’t concentrate #Not eating and looking after your beautiful self and # wellbeing , whether it be life’s pressures or medication you are going through, not being able to think 🤔 correctly, it’s that feeling of forgetfulness when trying to get on with everyday issues , not being able to speak correctly,too slow/too fast / stutter even friends noticeing it’s like a mental block sometimes, .... it’s ok it’s fine breath slowly ,relax the body and face muscles, hands etc , breath slowly and work through heart flutters/ take your beautiful self away from negativity and negative people, talk to people more and express how you feel everyday #dont shy away stay focused & be positive 😘
