"Your life is worth it, don't give up!"

Right as I think about my own suicide plans.

I feel like a hypocrite.

Sometimes it helps to take your own advice, like having a conversation with yourself as if you were another person.

Other times, there's a cloud around our heads that stops that from working.

I hope you find someone to talk to who treats you with the same compassion that you treat others.

Depending on where you live, someone to talk to is probably a phone call away. Give it a try if that's an option.

Asking for help us a sign if strength, not weakness.

I know that because i find it extremely hard to ask for help.

Oof that his home.

All I can say is that things can turn it better, it has for me personally.

It's great of you that you inspire others, though, not hypocritical, it's what we all need sometimes. Doesn't matter if you don't see it personally, you are helping another human being get along.
