My Mental health story, well some of it.
Hey world my names Savaunnah i’m from Vancouver island British Columbia.. i have suffered and still suffer with suicidal thoughts every other day.. I have a mental illness known as Borderline personality disorder, manic depression and acute anxiety, I’ve only learned that i had a mental illness for the last year and let me tell you.. it’s been a life changer. When i first got diagnosed with BPD.. i thought it was the end of the world.. and still currently think that.. but that’s not the point. The point is us borderlines see life in a way different perspective emotionally DOESN’T MEAN WE ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE. We as humans need to be able to be open and comfortable talking about mental health issues. Next topic i want to talk about is my suicide thoughts.. now. i know when people say oh i am going to kill myself.. that they are looking for attention.. that is NOT true at all.. When you are on the edge of whatever you are about to do like jump off the building, cut yourself.. or whatever you have in mind.. it’s not a joke. and for all of those people who say it’s attention that person is seeking isnt true.. have you been in that position?. probably not.. when you’re on the edge it consumes you.. the darkness the tears the thoughts.. everything just tells you to do it.. but you need to be able to look it in the face tell it to stop.. because nobody’s going to stop you other then yourself.. I’m currently 6 months clean from self-harm and i couldn’t be prouder.. So if you are ever in that position.. remember I love you. and that it’s not worth it on the other side. i’ am in my own personal hell but doesn’t mean you have to be, Seek help please <3
