I wrote a poem tonight about a very serious topic. I have struggled with suicidal thoughts most of my life. A year ago I almost lost that fight. I wrote about how I gave up one night but if I could go back and change it I would.

Things are so much better than they were. Never give up. Reach out for help. Call 988, 911 or go to the ER. Talk to a counselor. Never stop seeking help. Reaching out isn't a weakness.

A year ago, on New Year’s Eve, I made a choice I have regretted a thousand times since. I was not thinking clearly and I decided to try to end my life. I overdosed on my medication with a dos…
