I made them because my own life experiences (Extremily abusive childhood) led me to believe that there was always another option...I never used it as an excuse...
Growing up i was the eldest and it was my job to try and protect my family even if it meant standing over them...I saw horrible things...experienced horrible things which don't need repeating.
It made me stronger, and it made me always think that nobodies demons can be that big or aggressive.
Little over a month ago however i hit rock bottom...I got in from work one night, changed, rolled a spliff and walked back out with no intention of coming back alive...Luckily for me, one of my best friends pulled me out of it at the last second...I owe her my life.
I'm in a better place now and i am finding happiness again. When you hit rock bottom the only way is up.
So yeah, get help kids.
Im pleased to hear you're through the worst of it mate. But please remember that you can't afford to be complacent. The time scale you mention (last month) is short. It can creep back up on you. You need to have your coping strategies in place, and you need to keep talking to people. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk privately.
