up/suicide hasn’t crossed my mind in 3 years. Until recently. My life has
become very messy. Hurting people I love without realizing it. Causing them to
feel sad or depressed. I know with time things will heal or whatever people say
but it’s hard to have hope right now when my life is just falling apart. If the
bills disappeared, guilt, insecurities, arguing, just hating myself in general
from my attitude to the physical appearance. I feel like trash. I’m just tired
of crying and screaming on the inside it’s time to talk before I end up too
low. </span><br></p></div> | <div class="ExternalClassC413A1D1736645BE94A094287D64388D"><p>
