This message saved my life…
When I was 19, my bipolar was at its most severe and every single day was a battle for my life. Everything, and I mean E V E R Y T H I N G, felt purposeless and overwhelming. I did not see the point in living if all it was going to be was suffering, confusion, fear, doubt, betrayal, and pain on repeat.
One day it got so bad that I needed to call a su***de hotline. I’m so grateful to the person who answered and what he said. This message not only validated that my current position in life felt intensely painful, but that the journey would soon become easier. That my battle could be won with perseverance. Essentially he was saying “no pain, no gain”, but in a way that completely understood that it was going to hurt until one day I grew so callused from this experience that it did not hurt as much and I would begin to move through and past it.
These words changed my life forever. I hope in sharing this message it is seen, heard, and felt by the people who need it most at this time.
If you’re really struggling right now, all I can say is LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY because that day might be the day the fire you’re in doesn’t destroy you but rebuilds you into something new.
