Yes I am starting yo listen....

**Trigger warning - suicide references** I listened to an Alan Watts CZcams speech in 2014 called "What If Money Were No Object?" (which I highly recommend btw) and I made sure I never forgot it. At the time I was very stressed a few years into my IT career and although I was performing well, was desperate for an escape due to the workloads/daily demands. The video gave a great way of thinking about the bigger picture and building a life around what you love. This Alan Watts speech is another great one on overthinking/worry/anxiety and how you can become lost to thought. In 2015 I got my first tattoo following my first big mental breakdown, "TRIGGER", on my left wrist as I needed a 'trigger' to snap out of thought ALL THE TIME (that's how lost I was). Based on the "If Money Was No Object" video, I quit the IT industry after 4 years to follow my dream life, going to university as a mature student; starting again to become a teacher. If you've followed my story up to now you will know that although this was great in theory, I hadn't overcome my demons and brought them to university with me. My decline was rapid and this time even more serious. I went from loving my new life and journey in the first weeks in October 2015 to not just becoming suicidal over Christmas, but making a thorough plan over months and an attempt to take my own life in March 2016, after mentally shutting out my friends and family in preparation for it. The rest, as they say, is history. I wasn't successful and had to rebuild my life AGAIN. "I couldn't even do this right" was a recurring thought at the time. Life went on... I had to carry on the next day at work as if nothing had happened and hide my struggle from the world. At the time I still didn't want to live, but made a promise to myself to not go down that route again. "If you're thinking about doing it. Suicide doesn't stop the pain, your only moving it. Lives that you're ruining." as @santandave wrote/raps 🎤 I've posted about my recovery since June 2016 when I gradually started to "return". It's taken 5+ years to reset/improve my mind, so to anyone still in a dark place: Keep going and be patient, please! 🧠❤
