You Give Me Hope - 1

I have been depressed for a while. Suicidal thoughts were in my mind 27/7 and I cut daily. When my brother found out about the cutting, he never spoke to me again.

A few weeks ago, I was home alone and woke up from the worst nightmare I ever had. It was bad enough to make me sure I had to end it all, it would be better for everyone if I was gone. Even though he hadn't spoken to me for months, I texted my brother I'd miss him.

He was out with friends, but ten minutes later - I was standing with the knife against my wrist - he csme home, running to me. He was crying. "You won't get rid of me that easy."

We are best friends ever since. My brother gives me hope.
