I can\u2019t even tell you how many times I\u2019ve imagined I\u2019m dead. I can\u2019t even describe to you how many times I\u2019ve seen my own funeral, the people around the coffin, how many times I\u2019ve imagined what the world would look like without me in it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know why but these thoughts seem to haunt me, yet I don\u2019t want to die.<\/b> People usually assume that if someone is thinking about death, that person wants to die and if they aren\u2019t thinking about death, they don\u2019t want to die. <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s not true. What about those who are stuck in a gray zone, thinking about death? What about those like me? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been thinking about death since high school. <\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve found myself haunted by suicidal thoughts. I can\u2019t even say that puberty had anything to do with it because death haunts me to this day. I\u2019ve found myself thinking about being kidnapped. I thought about what if one day I never got back home from school? <\/span><\/p>\n

Hab\u00eda un puente que ten\u00eda que cruzar todos los d\u00edas, volviendo a casa del colegio. Tantas veces me par\u00e9 en medio de \u00e9l, mirando el r\u00edo fr\u00edo y profundo, pensando \u00bfy si me ca\u00eda? <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 sentir\u00eda al caer, qu\u00e9 se me pasar\u00eda por la cabeza en el descenso? \u00bfC\u00f3mo me sentir\u00eda cuando mi cuerpo entrara en contacto por primera vez con el agua helada? \u00bfEstar\u00eda a\u00fan vivo antes de caer al r\u00edo o mi coraz\u00f3n ceder\u00eda justo al principio de la ca\u00edda? <\/span><\/p>\n

Y si siguiera vivo, \u00bfme arrastrar\u00eda el agua a una cueva o algo as\u00ed? \u00bfSaldr\u00eda mi cuerpo a flote?<\/span><\/p>\n

I could have tried it but I didn\u2019t want to. Those were only thoughts and nothing else. I don\u2019t want to die. I love my life and I want to keep living it. I don\u2019t want my journey to end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Me lo guardaba para m\u00ed. Nunca le cont\u00e9 a nadie lo que me pasaba por la cabeza tan a menudo. Sab\u00eda que si compart\u00eda lo que sent\u00eda, la gente se preocupar\u00eda e intentar\u00eda evitar que me suicidara. Pero nunca tuve intenci\u00f3n de hacerlo.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to think about death, it scares me. But I can\u2019t turn off my brain. I can\u2019t tell it what to think about.<\/span><\/p>\n

These thoughts catch me unprepared. I never know when they are coming. It often happens when I least expect it, when everything in my life is going great, when I don\u2019t have anything to be worried about. <\/span><\/p>\n

Entonces, de repente, veo algo que hace que mi mente invite a pensamientos negativos a mi cabeza, a mi coraz\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depression plays a great part in it. It pops up like an uninvited guest that you can\u2019t get rid of. It leaves when it becomes bored, when it has nothing else to do.<\/b><\/p>\n

Todos los malos recuerdos, todos los sentimientos reprimidos, salen flotando a la superficie, asfixi\u00e1ndome, sin dejarme respirar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Me a\u00edslo del mundo. Me encierro en mi habitaci\u00f3n, pensando en mi propio dolor y rezando a Dios para que pare. Me siento sola, siento que no le importo a nadie, que a nadie le importa si vivo o muero. Me siento completamente impotente.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I feel like this, I can\u2019t stop it. <\/b><\/p>\n

It feels like I\u2019m swimming in an ocean and although there is no one around, I feel safe. The sun is shining and keeping my face warm, it\u2019s like the sun is kissing me. I feel safe and happy, I\u2019m enjoying myself. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pero entonces, de la nada, aparece una enorme nube que tapa el sol. Empieza a hacer fr\u00edo y ese oc\u00e9ano inmenso y hermoso que me hac\u00eda sentir libre y feliz deja de ser un lugar seguro. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s like being trapped in a scary nightmare in which I\u2019m fighting for my every breath. Big waves are drowning me and land is nowhere to be found. I\u2019m helpless. Helpless and alone. <\/span><\/p>\n

And this happens all the time. I drift off in my thoughts, I\u2019m in a safe place and then the clouds appear all of a sudden. I never see it coming and I can\u2019t chase it away. <\/span><\/p>\n

And I never know when it\u2019s coming again. I can only hope it doesn\u2019t. <\/span><\/p>\n

I know I\u2019m not alone. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the beginning, I thought I was. I thought that something was seriously wrong. I know that there are people like me out there. And I want to tell you that you\u2019re not alone. You\u2019re not crazy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Talk to someone, anyone. Talk to someone you trust, a friend or a family member, a therapist. You have to let those thoughts out. You have to say them out loud. You have to get confirmation that you\u2019re not different from everyone else. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are a lot of us out there who struggle every day with trying to win this battle but they don\u2019t talk about it. And then you think you\u2019re the only one. <\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve kept my thoughts to myself for years because I was too scared to be labeled as the crazy one. Who in their right mind is thinking about death but doesn\u2019t want to die? I was so scared they were going to commit me and pronounce me unfit to live on my own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Entonces me arriesgu\u00e9 y habl\u00e9 con la persona en la que m\u00e1s confiaba. Entonces encontr\u00e9 apoyo y un lugar seguro al que acudir cada vez que estos pensamientos, estos sentimientos que son tan reales como los tuyos, me consumen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t hesitate to ask for help. Don\u2019t be ashamed of what is happening to you. You\u2019re not the only one. You\u2019re not mad. You are just being honest with yourself. You\u2019re accepting what you\u2019re feeling. <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
