After 18 suicide attempts, I found a life worth living
Frequent MHT guest blogger, Dee Chan, shares how she struggled with Borderline Personality Disorder for years and then tried a newfound therapy that literally saved her life.
Autism and depression
“From my earliest memories, I have always felt out of place in this world. A secret knowing, that the one I came from before I entered this life is much better. A part of me that wishes I would go to sleep and never wake up again. Not because I don’t want to live, but because this world wasn’t made for me. It takes so much effort for me to face the sensory onslaught and social nuances each day. So much energy, to just live one day. I get tired.” ~ Superhero Guest Blogger, Mikhaela Ackerman
Post-divorce depression
“I have always prided myself in being an effortlessly positive person. Of course I have had bad days and known sadness. I have failed tests, fallen out with friends and grieved the death of my dearest grandparents, but I have always taken bad periods in stride.
I was surprised when my divorce knocked me for six.”
~Superhero Guest Blogger, Dr. Isabelle Hung
