Suicide

Two confessions

Attempted suicide twice,.. in the age group 15 - 19
Self-harmed for the entire duration

This is more common than we are willing to admit in TnT.


There is an old TV series called Sisters

Teddy (played by Sela Ward) admits to attempting suicide, when another sister, Georgie becomes depressed.

She speaks of simple wants. It was realising that there was a simple want that she had that was within her power to fulfil that kept her going through her dark time.


I have found this to be true.

It can be things like renting or test driving your dream car.
Going to a restaurant you always wanted.
Watching the sunset on the beach.

I've done all of these things, some on impulse.

And what it does, is it creates something to look forward to, which tells your brain.. life is worth living.
