You would never know what someone is carrying just by looking at them.
From 13 to 21, I struggled deeply with su***de and survived multiple attempts. I smiled, took photos, spent time with friends, celebrated milestones and looked “fine” from the outside.
My last attempt was at 21.
I’m 28 now — and there is so much life I never would have known was waiting for me.
I share this because su***de does not always have a look. Check on your people. Ask the harder question. Remind someone they matter.
And if you’re the one struggling right now, please stay long enough to meet the versions of you that you haven’t met yet. 💜
In Canada, call or text 9-8-8 for su***de crisis support, 24/7.
