View More He estado sufriendo problemas de salud mental durante aproximadamente 3 años y he estado luchando con autolesiones y pensamientos suicidas durante la mayor parte de ese tiempo. un día el año pasado tuve suficiente y me rendí por completo y perdí la esperanza de que algo mejorara, esa noche hice un atentado contra mi vida que luego me llevó al hospital que requiere tratamiento. para cualquiera que esté considerando quitarse la vida, por favor dele otra oportunidad a la vida, sé que las cosas son inimaginablemente difíciles para usted en este momento, pero las cosas pueden mejorar con el tiempo y la ayuda adecuada. tú importas, eres fuerte y el mundo es un lugar mejor contigo en él. sigue luchando <3 He luchado con la salud mental durante años, ha sido lo más difícil por lo que he tenido que pasar porque me sentía muy solo incluso cuando la gente trataba de ayudarme. Siento que me perdí por completo en el último año y estoy deprimido y ansioso todo el tiempo O simplemente me siento entumecido y eso es aún peor. He tenido muchos intentos de suicidio y también he estado hospitalizado. Tengo el apoyo de mi familia y amigos y por mucho que lo intentan no pueden ayudar. Mis pensamientos suicidas se hicieron mucho más fuertes y seguir adelante todos los días se siente como si estuviera corriendo un maratón. Está mejorando, es simplemente difícil. Sé que seré feliz algún día, es tan difícil esperar eso. Si estás luchando, no estás solo, sigue volando xxx Anchor 1 hola esta es mi historia De niño me costó mucho crecer, me decían que no podía hacer muchas cosas y ellos pensaban que nunca podría. Tengo espina bífida. La espina bífida es un diagnóstico que hacen los médicos mientras estás en el útero o tan pronto como naces, o eso decían cuando era niño, pero ahora te pueden diagnosticar más adelante en la vida. Me diagnosticaron cuando cumplí dos años, le decían a mi madre que no me pasaba nada, pero lo había. Ha sido difícil crecer, ser juzgado en público, ser intimidado en la escuela y ser tratado de manera totalmente diferente y no es justo. La gente me considera afortunada porque hay otras personas que lo pasan mucho peor que yo y lo sé. Me consideran afortunado en comparación con ellos porque puedo caminar, puedo vivir mi vida y estoy muy lleno de eso. No deberíamos ser tratados de manera diferente. Como todavía estoy en la escuela secundaria, la batalla aún no ha terminado, pero hay que seguir adelante. Voy a alcanzar el oro debajo del arcoíris 🌈 Esa es mi historia Los últimos 3 o 4 años he lidiado con problemas de salud mental, he ido a diferentes organizaciones para recibir terapia. Luché con pensamientos suicidas y consideraría actuar sobre ellos a diario. Me hacía daño a mí mismo y había días en los que no quería hacer nada más que quedarme en la cama lejos del mundo. Pero después de un tiempo de terapia, comprendí cómo me sentía y mejoré. Las grietas no pueden sanar por completo, pero sé que estoy mucho más feliz que antes porque esperaba y trabajé duro para estar donde estoy hoy. Hay luz al final de un túnel y una vez que te das cuenta de que no estás solo, ese es tu primer paso en la dirección correcta. I have tried to end my life 7 times, the last time I was in hospital for a good while. I still think about doing it again but then I remember all the people I would be leaving behind and I cant do that to them. People say it will get better but i know it will take a lot of time to get there but I know I can do this. YOU HAVE GOT THIS I BELIEVE IN YOU ! Los últimos 3 o 4 años he lidiado con problemas de salud mental, he ido a diferentes organizaciones para recibir terapia. Luché con pensamientos suicidas y consideraría actuar sobre ellos a diario.

Hay luz al final de un túnel y una vez que te das cuenta de que no estás solo, ese es tu primer paso en la dirección correcta. mi historia comenzó cuando tenía 10 años cuando fui abusado sexualmente por uno de mis amigos hermanos, sucedió en múltiples ocasiones y realmente no me golpeó hasta que tenía 14 o 15 años. Comencé a sentirme muy ansioso y nervioso también como si sufriera episodios depresivos. durante ese tiempo, comencé a autolesionarme como una forma de sobrellevar la situación. Fue cuando tenía 16 años cuando comencé a experimentar pensamientos suicidas que consumían mi mente todo el tiempo. Actualmente tengo 17 años y todavía estoy luchando con mi mente, pensamientos suicidas y la idea de recaer. Espero que todos los que están leyendo esto estén bien y se mantengan fuertes. eres tan valorado. eres tan digno y te quiero mucho esa es mi historia x I recently lost my uncle to cancer and it fully destroyed me, i ended up shutting myself away and turning to self harm as i couldn't even start to explain the feelings in me. But there is always a light at the end of the tunnel even when its beyond hard to find, but throughout it ive learnt theres always going to be someone there to help you and get you back on the right track x "I’ve been struggling my whole life with my mental health I grew up with drug addicted parents and the trauma and pain from that really broke me I found one of my parents almost dead one day but I never really understood half of it tell I got older it only got worse when I started secondary school I spiralled into a bad depression I started self harming and developing my own mental issues on top of the trauma I grew up with the pain I felt inside broke me racing sad thoughts 24 hours of the day and I jsut couldn’t think about anything else I tried loads of things to help me but nothing stopped I had restless nights and a chest filled with axienty all the times I was sent to camhs and told them all of my story and I was told I was looking for attention at that point I felt so alone that I was nearing a attempt on my life i tried peita house they where good but it Only helped for a few hours to share my story but it dint change anything for me I was so tired of it all I left school stopped doing the things I loved and I felt so bad because most of the pain I was feeling was projected onto others with anger and I just wanted to scream my pain out but I jsut couldn’t in fear of being judged every day was a loop i simply thought nobody would care and when I came home every day or night I had nobody to turn to because my parents would be on drugs or asleep because they where taking drugs the night before. I grew up so quick because of all this I still struggle to this day but I’m getting better now the scars I have are just battle scars and it reminds me everyday that I’m strong because look what I got myself through makes me feel so proud of myself because I’ve been through the unthinkable sad life and I somehow pulled through -HOLD ON PAIN ENDS" Your Stories Do you want your story submitted anonymously on the page.
