#worldsuicidepreventionday Creating hope through action. This is one of the first photos I took after coming out of recovery end of February 2022. Just a couple of months before I had made an attempt on my own life following a nervous breakdown due to several undiagnosed disorders and a descent into a darkness the likes of which I cannot adequately describe. I genuinely believed there was no way out. There is an alternative. There are more than 700,000 per year globally. (And without those who are lost that go unrecorded) 115 a week in the uk. One person every 40 seconds. I am incredibly lucky to be here today and am endlessly grateful for the life that has presented itself. Each day unfolding as it will. So many do not get the second chance. I am NO better or stronger, I was just lucky. 20 months sober. There is another way out. I know what it’s like. #suicideprevention #suicideawarness #mentalhealthawareness #depressionhelp #cptsd #ptsd #recovery #sobriety
