Grateful to be alive

This month I’ll be turning 21. Everyone has been telling 21st is a big deal but it doesn’t to me it’s just another day. After getting over one of my lowest points, I’ve come to realize my 21st feels like a mile stone for me. After battling with anxiety and being suicidal for almost 10 years. I’m thankful I’m still breathing and alive. I broke down tonight feeling overwhelming grateful that I’ve survived and I’m free to make a life for myself.

Hey,

An early Happy Birthday to you, I hope the day goes well for you when it arrives. It sounds like you've been through a lot but reflecting on a low point has given you the opportunity to feel greatful to reach the milestone of turning 21. From what you've shared, I'm hearing just how much this must mean to you after everything life has faced you with. You mentioned breaking down and feeling overwhelmed by everything but how nice it was to reflect and feel grateful to be alive. I'm really glad you're still here given everything you've faced.

Remember, you're not alone there are people to listen at difficult times, whether that be a listener on 7 cups or a crisis line if you need it. I wish you all the best, stay strong you've got this!
