I started having dark thoughts when I was 4. I made myself a promise when I was a teen : to try to survive until I was 27. Then I'll figure it out. At 27, I tried to off myself. The son of a friend and one of his friends (both were previous students of mine) figured it out... And saved me.
I hated myself for that. But I couldn’t stop the dark thoughts. So I kept running on a self destructive path which led me to lend money I didn’t have to people so I could find another "valid" reason to off myself.
Ended up in two psychiatric hospitals under two summer months at 29. Got out heavily medicated. Moved away from my friends to get closer to a family that I hated. All but one didn’t get me. That one person who actually did is a cousin I'm too scared to get close to, because that would mean one person in my family is worth it.
Around a month and a half ago, I went to see the nurse who's been listening and trying to help me out since July. I told him "I'm fed up. I'm fed up of my ambivalence. I want to work but I don't, I want to do art but I don’t, I want to read but I can’t, I want to get out but I can’t, I want to see my friends but I don’t... I can’t bring myself to stay happy because I see darkness in every aspect of my life. I'm fed up with the suicidal thoughts, because they make me miserable. I can’t even enjoy drinking water at 3 am anymore. Just help me."
That was the first time I put the right words on what I was feeling. And, gosh, the FREEDOM I felt after that...
I went to see some friends I didn’t see in months. We talked a lot. I felt lighter each day.
Got a "small" obssession over House M.D on the way. 😂
Then I saw my psychiatrist. I told him the same thing about my ambivalence. He replied that everyone had it, just in "easier" ways. That I had to find my own voice and make my own choices in the middle of mine's.
I'm still 29, still heavily medicated, still on sick leave, not sure if I want the last transition surgery... But for the first time in my life, I'm slowly reaching peace with my own self. I feel lighter, wake up more and more in the morning, and actually end up smiling a bit more by myself.
It's not easy at all. But you can make it.
