I'm not suicidal but...

I used to be very suicidal when I was a teenager. Like I didn't really think I'd make it to 27 years old but here I am and I'm lowkey scared like what am I going to do now that I am married and have kids... Like I wasn't planning to be alive now what? Like I didn't go to college to better myself but I had my first kid at 17. My second at 25 and working on my 3rd... But now I don't know what to do with my life to better my career and earn good money. Also I'm not like suicidal anymore but sometimes these thought make me think I could be again but maybe that's the pregnancy hormones.... Anyone else trying to figure out life?

I totally get how you're feeling. I was very suicidal as a teenager and even just like a year ago. I used to self-harm and now I have to live with noticeable scars. I hate it, but there's not much I can do about it now. I still struggle a lot with my mental health, but haven't been suicidal for at least a year and haven't self-harmed since before I left my abusive ex. It's weird to think about how I was so certain I wouldn't make it to 22, but here I am and I have my beautiful daughter and even a bachelor's degree. It's crazy how things change. I struggle to know what I want to do with my life now as well due to not thinking I would be around.

Yes, all the time. I am right now. I moved to Florida and I can't get a job but I never had a problem before and I got offers in NY and NJ. I'm from originally from NY. I didn't go to college but I did go to a trade school. Maybe there is something you might want to look into and see if there is a trade you'll like to learn

@Lena I hope you and your family are safe!

I very much felt like you did. I still feel like that at times. I never thought I’d make it to 27 when I had my 1st. Then 29 when I had my 2nd. And now I’m 30. And looking back at everything and wondering why I’m still here. I’m glad I have my kids. They’re everything to me. And my husband. But I most definitely wasn’t supposed to be here. I sometimes still struggle with being suicidal. But it’s when things are particularly hard. And not as often as it was.

I was that way too in my 15 teenager time. But not as bad but just kinda hurt my arm and had thoughts why where do I actually belong. Now I'm married and 25 and had my baby boy who was prem baby our only baby. Thought I could not have cause of my heart operation I had when I was 9 months old as a baby and doctors said I could not . But here I am and living it and being a mom and trying my best with the different learning disabilities I have

@Brianne thank you 🙏
