Thank you for sharing this.

I myself have attempted suicide — and I have a daughter. I don’t know how to describe the guilt I felt when I succumbed to the pain that day two years ago. I felt I was choosing myself over her, but I also felt as though my depressed presence in her life dragged her down; she would be better off without me. Somehow it seemed simultaneously selfish and selfless.

Thank you for sharing this. My father committed suicide (I have written here on this) and I have been a psyche nurse for 30 years before I had to leave work after having COVID but, I write now to try and support others.
