I was always judged against my cousin. She was amazing. All A's. Always in sports and dancing. Absolutely gorgeous.
And the entire family put her on a pedestal.
One night her problems overwhelmed her. That inner voice became too loud and she hung herself.
The second she went too far, is when she ended up fighting for herself. She ended up hurting herself so much in trying to save herself.
Never again didn't anyone in the family compare her and her accomplishments against others.
You want to let people know. Let us be there. We might not make it better. But we can be there with and for you.
Keep your head up. Keep fighting to be alive. There's a special blessing coming your way.
In the native American way we believe this world is here to be endured. That it and our existence isn't promised to be positive. That this world is pain and to expect that. And to find comfort in the small moments. With friends and family.
To endure is to become stronger. And to be stronger we have to tell others when we are hurting.
May you find your peace and happiness. I think you have done something amazing. Just admitting that you are down and hurting is a huge step.
Wow, I never knew this about your background. That must have been incredibly difficult for you and your entire family. I can see why this touches you so deeply. It's so essential to recognize the signs of distress on time... before something irreversible like this happens.
Great comment, thanks man. I hope Pat will find comfort in your words.
