One step away
Posted: Fri Feb 14, 2025 4:33 pm
I almost ended my life yesterday. It was probably the closest I’ve come. I had a method chosen and prepared.
One thing that stopped me is the people that have acknowledged the work I do in the MAP community.
Actually some of my biggest breakdowns recently have been due to attacks by other members of the community.
So thank you to those of you who show your appreciation for what I do. My legal troubles and their ultimate consequences have me in such a fragile place mentally (although I might not seem it when I’m engaged in some academic discussion). It only takes a droplet of water to make my glass overflow.
But knowing I impact other MAPs in a positive way is a reason to keep on living. When I first started this work, I thought that victory would be measured by moving the needle of society. But the individual stories and messages I get? They are their own kind of unique victory- one I never expected.
Also thanks to BLueRibbon. You know why.
