2 weeks ago I took an overdose. I almost died had it not been for my amazing friends, the police & the hospital staff
The last 14 days have been a turning point in my life
Today I went for run and felt happiness. I’m confident that I’m finally able to rebuild

@APlanToGo
Thanks Olly. I’ve struggled to motivate myself to run. So it’s been tricky. But now that I’ve finally started, it feels good!
@VaKnow22 yeah, I'm hoping that once it becomes routine it'll be easier!
@APlanToGo
Yeah me too! Takes 30 days to establish a routine, so that’s my goal!
@VaKnow22 I'm not sure if it's available where you are but I've been finding the Couch to 5k app really useful
@APlanToGo
Actually you’re the second person to recommend this to me today! It should be available in the UK. I’ll try and find it on the AppStore later!
@VaKnow22 I'm sorry you have been going through this, but I am glad that you made it through the darkness. That light at the end of the tunnel can be hard to see, hopefully being here can bring a bit of light 🌄
@Blue_Skyesr_here
Thank you. I’m just trying to force myself to open up and keep talking about it. But celebrate the small victories!
Thanks for being there!
@VaKnow22 @Blue_Skyesr_here I had recently opened up to my family about struggling with unaliving thoughts becoming a serious issue myself in the last three weeks. It's rough but you got this Rhys. I'm fighting right along with y'a.
@PaganMother @Blue_Skyesr_here
So glad I’m not fighting this one alone!
Hope you find a way through what I know is a tough experience! 👊
@VaKnow22 It feels very isolating but definitely not alone. Unfortunately, it's so difficult to talk about it @PaganMother
@Blue_Skyesr_here @VaKnow22 It is. That is very true. I've been getting ready for my therapy appointment coming up this Friday and just hit me that I found a place I can call home and I don't have any reason to feel so guarded anymore.
@PaganMother So happy for you! 🤗@VaKnow22
@PaganMother @Blue_Skyesr_here
That’s great to hear
@VaKnow22 of course! Always! I have been in some pretty darn tunnels myself so I understand what you are going through and hope it keeps getting brighter for you! 🙂
@Blue_Skyesr_here
I really appreciate this!! I’ve learnt to just appreciate the good days, and today is definitely a good day!
@VaKnow22 That's so good to hear 🙂!
@VaKnow22 I'm so glad you got the help you needed. Stay! You matter. 💜
Thanks Sheree, that’s very kind of you to say
Oh, Rhys...
I can't even imagine your pain. But I'm so very happy to read that you've hit a turning point.
(((hugs)))
@VaKnow22 I'm so glad you're here. I've just started running and can instantly feel the benefits for my mental health. Keep on runnin' Rhys
