Ive Hid depression and anxiety my hole life, i hid years of suicidal thoughts. I even hid an attempt i survived 10 years ago. Times are tough again, but I'm not alone this this time. A close friend knows everything, my doctor knows, my family knows some. In my life I've climbed mountains, run marathons, swam miles across ice cold lakes, bycicled 1000s of kilometres. Asking for help was harder than all combined at once.

Same here. I've been suicidal on and off for the past few years. Some days are better than others. When I have a bad day, I think of my nieces and nephews and how my sister or brother would tell them. That's what keeps me going. Hang tough.

Good on you! I'm glad to hear that. Asking for help can most ceartinly be hard, but in my opinion that's the hardest part. I hope you're able to overcome whatever tough times you are going through.

Asking for help can be so hard. Admitting you need help can be so hard. I'm so proud of you. You're not alone.
