You know, in a month, I went from seeing jumping off the dam at Enders, rope around the rafters of a round top or finding my end in a syringe full of Micotil to actually seeing a future for me and not being afraid to reach out for it. I'm damn proud of myself.
Will I always have suicidal ideation? Yes, unfortunately, off and on, it does come back. Sometimes as blips and other times, it's day after day. There will be setbacks. I just have to keep muscling forward. PTSD, depression, bulimia may be a part of me.
However, it's not my only definition, just like my autism, my sexuality, religion or nationality. There is more to me than just that. I am a survivor and a fighter. I will pick myself up when I fall and not be afraid to ask for help or to take meds.
I'm not ashamed of the Pristiq, Cymbalta, Adderall, Remeron and Klonopin that I take because it helps me stay alive, just like insulin for a diabetic. #AgTwitter #beatthestigmaofmentalillness
