What to Do if You’re Feeling Suicidal

I went through hell in my life. I lost everything over and over and over again. I lost my home and multiple cars. I almost became homeless. I lost my career. I lost my high paying income. My ex didn’t want anything to do with me. My programmer stole my money. My investor went to jail on the same day he was supposed to give me six figures in cash. I got beat up. A girl got the hotel staff to kick me out of my own hotel room then ordered a love kit and had some fun.

I drank myself to oblivion, escaping the life I had destroyed.

Then I wanted to die. I planned out my suicide. I was ready to go. I wrote out all my personalized goodbye letters and emailed them out. I was going to kill myself.

Then my ex saved me. She told me how stupid and selfish I was. She talked me out of it. I spent two years finding myself, and today I’m happier than I could ever be.

Just remember, that this too shall pass. I lost absolutely everything, however I’m blessed to be alive.

I know what you’re going through, and for that reason… My inbox is open. Feel free to message me if you need to talk.

Let’s get through this together.
