For those who have survived suicide, what was it like? What was your story?

I was at the end of my rope(feiled studies) fellt like a total life failure.

Had it planned to use my big sharp kitchen knife, put on my fine clothes and do it in the shower so there wouldnt be too traumstic for the ones who would find me.

Before I would do it I knew I wanted to hear my best friends voice one last time, I knew I could go in piece if I did.

I called and we talked, we hung up. I put on my best clothes i am in the kitchen looking upon the knife, pick it up. Walk in to the shower sit down on the floor below the showeer head. Just then my phone calls.

Its my best friend, she redailed because she heard something was wrong.

I had a Guardian angel that day and her name is Cecilia.

I still cant talk about that day without bursting into tears, I am happy I have a friend in my life that cares about me.
