Think of Nothing Tonight

From a early age of 14, I have suffered from anxiety and depression due to a motor vehicle accident with traumatic brain injury spine damage and family issues.

At this time of year, it’s worst for me because my accident was on the 24/12 and a family member passed away on the 31/12, and a heart attack at the age of 49. But on the 16th November 2020 things became overwhelming and my trust in humanity was shaken to the core.

So at the age of 55 I’d had enough and decided to end all my pain and suffering and took myself of to the Mountains and tried to end my pain.

Thankfully it didn’t work out, I called 000 the only number that would connect because of my location.

After trying to end my life, they found me and transported me to hospital, which really helped me with my situation as all I wanted was to talk to someone.

They listened to my life story, through this experience I have found my faith again and have ongoing support both mentally and socially.

I’m proud and I’ll be there to listen to others and make it through their dark days.

I found music, eating healthier, funny TikTok stuff, and just getting out of the house and going for a ride on my scooter also contribute to my happiness outlook on life and I am forever gratefully that I am here to now to listen to others.
