So it's #WorldSuicidePreventionDay / #WSPD2019.
Been going back and forth on this one all day.
But seeing the samaritans at the station on my way home from work pushed me over the line I think.
A sign maybe.
I think I'm finally ready to talk about this.
OK. Let's go.

June 5th, 2017 I tried to take my own life.
And I'm sharing this because fuck me this shit is important.
If this saves one life, it's worth it.
If this stops one of you, it's worth it.
If this makes you DM me instead of going for a walk and never coming back, it's worth it.
So yeah. This is hard. But it's time.

I wanted to share my suicide survival story for the first time. Reliving these brutal, painful and private moments isn’t easy. But it is cathartic to share it. So, here goes... #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
The 1st time I attempted suicide was in August of 1996. I was 18 & entering my freshman year of college. Pre-season has just started. I accepted the scholarship to the local college b/c my then-girlfriend told me if I accepted an out-of-State scholarship, that we’d break up
So I stayed in Milwaukee. Well, a month before college actually starts, I find out she was pregnant by some other guy. My world was flipped upside down. I told my assistant coach that I was having suicidal thoughts. He cried, but took me to a mental hospital...
