    This is a poem by the extremely talented Meggie Royer.
    🔗 / meggieroyerpoetry
    I fell in love with this poem instantly, it felt so human, like the moment you truly connect with a friend. The main theme of this poem is a very serious one and the imagery is extremely heavy in my mind. I don't want this work to romanticize something that causes so much pain. The purpose of this video is to give strength to the brave people who fight demons in their heads. You are not alone Internet Friends, I hope you like this work.
    Forever Humbled,
    a kid with a camera
    P.S. This wouldn't be possible without my friend who allowed me to film her walking the city, making coffee, and petting cats. / melinoise

    🔰The morning after I killed myself by Meggie Royer
    The morning after I killed myself, I woke up.
    I made myself breakfast in bed. I added salt and pepper to my eggs and used my toast for a cheese and bacon sandwich. I squeezed a grapefruit into a juice glass. I scraped the ashes from the frying pan and rinsed the butter off the counter. I washed the dishes and folded the towels.
    The morning after I killed myself, I fell in love. Not with the boy down the street or the middle school principal. Not with the everyday jogger or the grocer who always left the avocados out of the bag. I fell in love with my mother and the way she sat on the floor of my room holding each rock from my collection in her palms until they grew dark with sweat. I fell in love with my father down at the river as he placed my note into a bottle and sent it into the current. With my brother who once believed in unicorns but who now sat in his desk at school trying desperately to believe I still existed.
    The morning after I killed myself, I walked the dog. I watched the way her tail twitched when a bird flew by or how her pace quickened at the sight of a cat. I saw the empty space in her eyes when she reached a stick and turned around to greet me so we could play catch but saw nothing but sky in my place. I stood by as strangers stroked her muzzle and she wilted beneath their touch like she did once for mine.
    The morning after I killed myself, I went back to the neighbors’ yard where I left my footprints in concrete as a two year old and examined how they were already fading. I picked a few daylilies and pulled a few weeds and watched the elderly woman through her window as she read the paper with the news of my death. I saw her husband spit tobacco into the kitchen sink and bring her her daily medication.
    The morning after I killed myself, I watched the sun come up. Each orange tree opened like a hand and the kid down the street pointed out a single red cloud to his mother.
    The morning after I killed myself, I went back to that body in the morgue and tried to talk some sense into her. I told her about the avocados and the stepping stones, the river and her parents. I told her about the sunsets and the dog and the beach.
    The morning after I killed myself, I tried to unkill myself, but couldn’t finish what I started.

    Hello, I am the author of this piece and I wanted to thank illneas so much for creating this rendition! I'm truly grateful for his collaboration and support!
    I wrote this piece several years ago as someone who was suicidal and enduring a severe trauma. I'm continually humbled by the outpouring of support it has received.
    I posted it on my blog after I wrote it and never expected it to go viral. This piece was a letter to myself as a suicidal person, and so it may not resonate with everyone. I wrote it to myself and it was what I needed to hear at the time.
    Sending love to everyone who is currently or has been struggling to the point of considering suicide. I am thinking of you and wishing you the best across the world in the U.S.
    Have a wonderful day, everyone! Thank you again!

    I once tried to kill myself by hanging. As I was about to kick the chair away my cat ran to my room holding my old plushy I had lost. She looked at me looking like she was about to cry, we stared at each other for a long while. I couldn’t go through with it knowing at least 1 thing cared about me. my favorite thing loved me, she is the only thing that stopped me. I love her

      i'm so sorry, i can't imagine the grief that you've felt, and the pain she must have felt to do so. I was in a similar place only years ago, not knowing if i was gonna make it past high school. Just a few months ago i turned 18, something i never thought would have been possible at the time. But the pain still lingers and i still continue to fall into these sad spells that makes my life feel unbearable at times, but seeing the grief from comments like these remind me why i've kept moving on. I hope you're able to find your own peace, and just know that you've probably saved a life with your videos.

    I was 23 and I was chatting with a girl at a party for quite a long while.
    She said she had to go home and with a quick "see ya around!" she was gone.
    I turned around to see a very forlorn looking younger man looking at the floor.
    "She's nice isn't she?" He murmured. I agreed and it turned out that she had just broken up with him and i offered him my comiserations, wished him luck and wandered off to my bedroom.
    The next day my fellow share housers were talking about how Vincent had turned the gas on and put his head into the oven when he got home from the party. I asked who Vincent was. He was the young man who looked forlorn....
    'The morning after I died' brought all that back to me just now. I'm 65 yo now.

      lets list the reasons;
      they`re trans, faking life 100% daily
      their master is lucifer, the father of lies.

      we since birth live in the devils kingdom, this earth here, it shall be created anew, but not yet, still is the church time = still time for souls to get saved and be raptured up. until we come to repentance and born again, we remain living according to the devil.

    I read a really interesting piece recently. It was titled “why do people jump” and showed a famous picture of a man jumping off a building. The article went on to say that what if in this photo we could see the building was on fire and the pain of burning was greater then jumping. Just because we can’t see the fire doesn’t mean it’s not there. No one wants to jump or die but The fire that’s been burning in their mind for so long is so powerful and painful that jumping is the less painful option.
    It summed up depression and suicidal thoughts really clearly for me so just wanted to share

    As a survivor and have been in that cold dark pit searching for an escape from this miserable experience… just pause… think of ur loved ones finding ur body. The last time I tried I felt my lips wrapped around the cold barrel. It tasted like a salty AA battery. In that moment I thought about my mom finding me. I cried and considered myself a failure once again. I woke up on my bathroom floor, still cold and the floor tile left an imprint on my face. I sold the gun I owned and started over. I managed to live another twenty years and got married and have a beautiful baby boy that is my universe. He was my reason for existing. Well it’s January 21, 2024 today, and my mom just died yesterday. And somehow UA-cam recommended me this video. Thank you mom for being there when I needed you most.

      Wearing a mask is all I have ever done until very recently. By wearing a mask I never attracted truly kind and like minded people. But the narcissists saw through my mask and saw how vulnerable I really was. I had no problem attracting them and they were all I had.

      I find that I tell myself I’m wearing a mask rather than wearing one. It think helps with my deep self hatred if I tell my self that all the actions I do are not “my own” and “it’s my mask” it helps me distance my brain and my actual self. I can’t escape it now it’s become so natural to me. I just want to love myself again love the things I say and do and not say that it’s a “mask” or “not me” I don’t even know who me is.

    One of my closest childhood friends committed suicide when he was only 13. His name was Carter. We were friends since we were 6 years old. He was my first friend in the United States and the only kid who made an effort to get to know me when I didn’t speak English yet. We traded Pokemon cards on the bus every day and he taught me what everything meant and which cards I should never give away. I walked into school the day he passed and all the teachers were crying. When us students were finally told what happened that morning, my whole world collapsed. I didn’t cry for the first few minutes after I found out because I couldn’t believe it. When the tears came, they didn’t stop for years. There were no more classes that day and the rest of the week because the teachers couldn’t bear to teach without him and the students couldn’t bear to learn without him. Almost everyone in my grade went to his funeral. Most people wore black but I wore a pokeball sweatshirt and an Ash Ketchum hat in his honor. The hardest I’ve ever cried in my life was when I saw his small casket being carried down the isle. After the funeral service we all gathered at the same park where our 5th grade graduation was held years before. The same park where Carter had once chased me with a water gun, laughing and smiling as we ran in the sun after eating sandwiches and popsicles together. We each released a red balloon for him. His favorite color. He loved the color red, Pokemon, Minecraft, Dragon Ball Z, potatoes, reading, and making people laugh. He was the goofiest, kindest, purest soul I’ve ever known. One time I missed my bus stop so I got off at his and he walked me home. I tried to convince him that I could go alone but he insisted on taking me. “The world is a dangerous place and I want to protect you,” he said as we walked. I remember staring at him from my window as he walked back home alone after dropping me off (my mom and I offered to drive him home but he didn’t let us) and feeling overwhelmed with gratitude. I thought about that moment when I visited his grave alone and sang to him for hours. I thought about that moment every time I cried for him, which was every day for years. I am 21 years old now. 8 years have passed since he left this world and I still have dreams about him often, ones where he’s still alive. I wish he knew how much I loved him. How much his family loved him. How much the entire school loved him. If you read all of this, thank you for taking the time to hear my story and please know that there are people who care about you even when you can’t see it. Life can be ugly but ultimately it is beautiful and living is worth it. If you can’t live for yourself, live for the people that love you and eventually you will live for yourself too because life will get better, I promise.

    The first time I watched this video.. I was 14 maybe 15. I was suicidal. I was broken. I was a shell of the girl I wanted to be. My whole life I had grown up chasing a dream that I thought was possible. Chasing a reality that I wanted to be true.
    A few days ago my best friend told me he loved me. I feel like I should be feeling something? I know I should. But, I can’t?
    I was sexually and physically abused as a child and it went on until my late teens. I was able to get out of it for a few years but during that time I had left my family behind. My siblings. Those ones that I was supposed to protect as the oldest. I believed that there was no hope during the time that I left then because I was so scared of never seeing them again. This right here, this masterpiece, this is what made me keep going…
    Tonight, I’m trying to find a way to feel. A way to remember what it was like to have dreams and ambitions. Because I know that they’re there. I know that I can have hope. I choose to be strong. I’m 20, I’m young, I’m back with my siblings renting a house with the eldest while the others are living with our mom… I know a lot of people say that it sucks to grow up young… but I just want to say, that I’m glad I did. Because it made me the person I am today. I don’t know if this was hopeful or what… I don’t think it’ll help anybody to be honest… I just, wrote it for me? For the woman I want to be and the girl I lost that used to be me.

    • @Acielx
      @Acielx 3 місяці тому +7

      Even though it’s hard to chase that dream you want to be true. Keep going and keep pushing. It’s hard to really believe in making the future a reality especially with being numb, not knowing how to react or how to respond to certain things that should make you happy or sad or flustered or scared, it’s all such a mess…though I do like to believe that learning how to feel again is possible it’s incredibly difficult but I think that the key is to know what makes you feel a tug, a real tug, not one that you force yourself to feel or react to. Something unexpected that you struggle to explain, something that creates a moment of emotion in you even if it’s just for a flicker…once that sparks, don’t ever let it go out, keep chasing it and fanning the flame until you can see the world as colorful as a child would.

    One of my favourite teachers killed himself around 9 months ago and it almost seemed like nobody in my class even cared. Most of them were joking and laughing, happy to have a "day off" (god bless the gym teacher for bringing the news and then letting us do what we wanted in the gym area).
    Honestly, it took quite a lot of help from people to convince me I couldn't have prevented it and especially for me to not join him. I still feel bad now, and angry for my classmates not being there at all. None of them even showed up to an optional ceremony to him in our central area, but it really has made me appreciate my friends, family and teachers more.
    Even now, I sometimes look at busses or cars riding past, or down from a high story in my school, and I am just so done and think about doing it, but I just feel so.
    Ashamed of it.
    Even more of telling anybody that I know about this, because the only real knowledge I have about it is people calling him "selfish" for taking his own life. (I am so sorry for this, but I needed this off my chest, and saw other posts here.)

      It’s ultimately up to the person to decide for themselves if life is worth continuing. For a lot of people they see death as the easier way out than struggling for a better future. I don’t blame them, it’s hard man. Really. Fucking. Hard. These are the kinds of people I would be wanting to help even if they wanted to die. They have a chance at a better life, and for some reason that’s enough for me.
      For someone who is dealing with something that cannot be solved such as an incurable illness that causes extreme suffering every day, that is a person with no future in terms of a life of no extreme suffering. If they don’t consider life worth living, I’d say that’s fair and they should be able to make that choice for themselves.
      I genuinely believe all illnesses will be cured in less than 10 years or we’ll all be dead by then. So there’s that point of view as well, that an incurable diseases will end up cured in the future. AI is magical in it’s potential but equally terrifying as a result.

      🥺 this is what I’m understanding about suicide. When you take your own life you snuff out any chance for God to rescue you. The beauty of life comes in regarding our choices. Everyday we’re flooded with so much goodness. We’re so used to experiencing the goodness that comes along with existence that we truly take it for granted that we can feel however we choose to feel. We can love whatever we choose to love and we can decide to fill our lives with as much joy as we can create for ourselves. This isn’t easy but in comparison to the alternative it’s a variable we can control.
      Suicide however, freezes you in a span of time that conceptually won’t end. And then on top of everything you took your life for you’re now tormented with the absence of every one of Gods gifts that you took for granted. Like this poem, the author found sweetness in the little things. Things that when you’re struggling aren’t enough to feel sweet, but remain beautiful despite our ability to perceive it anyway.
      Once you’re gone you’re gone.
      In terms of the debilitating disease, there’s a story in beginning of the book “Success and a positive mental attitude“ that I truly think you’ll find inspiring. A farmer became paralyzed from the neck down. He managed, in that state to create a multimillion dollar business and live the rest of his life happy and fulfilled. It was his mindset that set him apart. Check out the book. Recommending it to you has reminded me to give it another read, thank you 🙏

      Even diseases that can’t be cured can usually still be treated. I don’t know what condition you’re referring to specifically, but there are probably ways symptoms can be somewhat alleviated.
      Painful lives are still lives worth living, and I’m sure there are things doctors or even the people around you can do to help your life be less painful. I hope that whatever is wrong it gets better with time or treatment.
      I think it’s weird that some people think it’s okay for disabled people to die because they figure their lives aren’t worth living anyway. That’s not true. Everyone should be able to live as freely and painlessly as possible. If there’s things that doctors or the people around you can do to make things easier, I encourage you to ask them to. Some people have painful life-long symptoms, but they can still be generally happy. Learning to live with a disability can be very difficult, and society sure doesn’t make it any easier, but it is very possible, and I hope you are able to be happy and live a long life.

After you kill yourself there will not be a morning after and also there will be no more pain for what brought you to the point of commiting suicide. I still stand as a depressive suicidal who struggles everyday. And I find this video offensive. It takes down a lot from what is a decision and not an impulse.

I interpret it as a reminder of the good in our lives whether we see it or not. The most mundane things can sometimes be the most special things. It describes where she grew up and the people around her that love her. It's so easy to look past these things when there is so much stress, anxiety, and sadness in ones life. So for me, this was a good reminder to keep fighting. And that even through this living hell, there are still things out there that are good.

    A few weeks ago a coworker asked me why I was daydreamingly looking at the ceiling. And I answered "just picking the best beam" in a joking manner but in the same moment my own words shocked me because they held some truth.
    And looking at his eyes I could tell he felt the same. I'm scared of myself these days, yet I know I couldn't go through with anything because there is too much love surrounding me. I'm just crying for help.

    As someone who has struggled with not only suicidal thoughts but also countless failed attempts, this hit me hard. After having come back to a stable point in my life and after having found love, I have found this. And I realize how much it resonated with me. For the first time in quite a while I felt as though I was seen- not viewed and ignored, but truly seen. As if someone was perched in my mind and showing me myself yet from another's eyes, someone who truly cared and worried for me, despite knowing that the author does not know me.
    My family has never found out about my attempts, and only a select few people who truly know me have learned the details. And I hope, frankly, that it remains that way, a hidden relic of my past, I hope to continue to heal, now with the help of my boyfriend, and to stride farther away from this point in my life.

    There’s this video I really like of a guy who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived.
    He said that as soon as he let go off the cable and jumped, he realized he had made the biggest mistake of his life and in a matter of seconds all his life problems suddenly seemed solvable and not so unbearable as he once thought they were. Then all he could think about while the water was getting closer and closer was “I don’t wanna die”. Fortunately he did survive to pass his story on.
    As a suicide attempt survivor, I feel profoundly touched by his words. Once we get to see death that close, it makes us not want to go near it ever again.
    We’re living in atypical circumstances lately, but remember to check on your loved ones during this quarantine. We might make more difference in people’s lives than we think we do. And above all: take care of yourself.
    Sending much love to y’all! Stay safe!

      Gotta say that's a very personal opinion that doesn't apply to all because I'm also a survivor of attempted suicide and did attempt many times after having been "that close to death". That didn't change it for me at the time. Mine was related to PTSD, and I stopped attempting two months post-trauma, which was over 3 and a half years ago, but perhaps maybe that sentiment is more common with other causes of suicidality or maybe it was just different for me; I don't know.

    even tho time's repeating itself for me over and over again,
    even tho the pain I tried to ignore keeps coming up and tries to drown me,
    even tho the weight on my shoulders is getting heavier the longer I live,
    even tho my life keeps falling apart more and more I realised one thing,
    if I would have killed myself at 12, I would have never found out about my passion in music and how much comfort and happiness it brings me,
    if I would have killed myself at 13, I would have never met my best friend who is there for me at anytime,
    if I would have killed myself at 14, I would have never found out about this one part in me wanting to become strong and confident,
    if I would have killed myself a week ago... what would I have missed?
    sometimes the moments that feel like the last ones are just the beginning of something new
    stay strong everyone, you've already come through 100% of your hardest times you are stronger than you think let's do this ❤
    edit: hey guys, today is my 16th birthday, I'm glad to tell you that, for the first time in years, I did not wanted to kill myself.
    thank you for all your kind comments it's rlly uplifting to read them on my bad days.
    "if I would have killed myself the night before my 15th birthday, what would I have missed"
    I'd have missed this strong character of mine, I did a lot for my mental health this last year and it was all worth it. I would have never imagined myself with the build up confidence and strength I've gained over the past year. ofc I'm not fully healed yet and the thoughts still hunt me but I definitely found a way for me to handle them better.
    I'm proud of myself and proud of all of you who read this and go through the same things.
    keep going, I know many don't belive that time will fix things, I didn't belive in it either, but what else is there we could do?
    be good to yourself, even if the whole world turns against you, trust in yourself, you're the only one you have forever with you.

    I enjoyed staying in an inpatient clinic instead of dying. I found what I was missing in life, connecting with people and talking to them. I talked to them in there instead of hiding in my room, that's how I got better faster and was able to get discharged faster. Now that I know what it's like in the loony bin, I choose to be in my own life rather than lose myself and go back in there. I realize how sane I was in there and how sane I can continue to be in the world. The crazy in there can be the crazy in my own family at home. I don't have to stay in an inpatient clinic forever, I just need to see that I'm ok in either place. I can survive in both places if I'm there for myself and others around me.

Maybe the reason I was born at all is to move on and grow my own pumpkins, give someone the strong and warm embrace I miss so much, and maybe one day I won't miss it at all; but smile while doing it for someone else

    Thank you. This is just what I felt and thought after my son killed himself.
    Knowing why did not help me, I was just grateful he only wrote I love you, no letters of pain.
    He now knew the truth. How much love there was, even if his trauma did not allow him to know.
    He was stuck and now he was free and knew love again. We..me and friends took him traveling.
    His ashes are all over the world now, he traveled with them.
    He gave all of us his love and pleasure to travel with him and set him free.
    We did what he couldn’t.
    Love to all. ❤

    I came really close to hanging myself in a tree. As I sat there on the branch 2 little girls ran by below me. I could not go through with it then for the fear of them finding me. I climbed down looked around and there was no sign of them. To this day I call them my little angels.I thank you so much for this.

I'm trans in the fucking Poland section, and also disabled (schizophrenia and spectrum of autism). Every time I try reach out and talk to people, they don't have time or courage to explain me :"what I'm doing wrong in the terms of social norms?" and even they tell me, this is the signal mostly about " gtfo, we don't want you here!" It is that much that I want decent job so I can have stable Internet connection, food and soap? That I want "to have" (loved one isn't my property, is single human) love one?

    A few years ago I was suicidal, and I Video called my parents. I didn’t expect to tell them how I felt, i never wanted them to know, I just wanted to talk to them. But eventually it came out: how I hated my job, how I hated myself, how I was being bullied and ignored, how absolutely alone I felt. I said “some days I actually contemplate killing myself.”
    The look on their face made me immediately regret feeling that way. They looked terrified. Truly scared for me. Their fear scared me, I realized how broken they’d be if I left the world.
    No parent should have to bury their child.
    I’ve never even thought about suicide since.

But what I also learned from a job I did for a long time was people need people like us to tell our stories so they can tell theirs. They need to hear they are normal. They need the kindness you can give them because you get it what it feels like to hurt. So don’t take that gift away from the world. Stay.

    One month ago I lost my father to suicide, unknowingly (I found out three days ago). He was found hung in his hotel room, which he was staying at because it was issued by his PO (federal crime). I regret not visiting him in jail more than anything (it wasn't neccessarily my choice), and this video brings me so much comfort in the thought that he may be watching over my shoulder, knowing what he's done to me. The worst part is, he killed himself the day he found out I was not allowed contact with him. Thank you for making this, as it brings awareness to how much harm is done when people make this decision, and how beautiful life is if you are willing to give it a chance.
