answer:I spent a long time feeling suicidal, starting at a very young age. A family member sexually abused me from throughout my childhood, and the first time I can remember wishing I were dead I was only about 5 years old. Chronic depression and massive anxiety were both huge problems for me, and suicidal thoughts were a near-constant companion for way too long. I’m happy to say that therapy, medication, and resolving some family issues have led me to a much better place in my life. I’ve been free of such thoughts for many years now. I urge anyone who is feeling this way to get help. And to remember that things get better.
