This suicide support message is written to offer hope, understanding, and comfort for those going through difficult moments. You are not alone, and support is available.

DISCLAIMER This is going to be a disclaimer and a trigger/content warning for you all right now for those of you who are watching/listening as I am aware that this is a real sensitive topic as well as being a taboo topic that needs to be shared. As I said in my previous video if you haven’t seen it based on my spoken word for thought, I thought to bring this out of the reasons behind why I’m doing this and this is not to dwell on the past or anything like that or even seeking any attention like behaviors from you all or even just sympathy. I just want to share with you all basically that this is hopefully to engage with you all, support you all in a way, hopefully, that you can walk in my shoes and actually experience the pain that in which I went through in the past life and maybe you can you know to seek help for whatever reason it may be and in saying this that if you see any people that you know of that you care about are showing signs and symptoms of anything of the previous videos based on mental health, do seek professional help for yourself or your loved one or even seeking a second opinion for yourself or your loved one because I don’t forever condone self-harm.

I want to thank Melissa Annette from Life with the Liss to allow me to participate in this collab to share my experiences and knowledge on mental health. You can find her on YouTube: Link:
