two days after i killed myself

the day after i killed myself, i had no regrets. i was finally free—no more of that crushing weight, no more dark water filling my lungs until i was sure i’d suffocate. i didn’t have to think to myself, one more day. just try to survive one more day because i had no days left. it was over. i didn’t have to hurt anyone ever again. my family wouldn’t have to worry anymore now that i was gone. selfishly, i was relieved that i would never have to face them after what i’d done. i didn’t want to see how it hurt them. i didn’t want to know.

but i saw. from my place in death, i saw what i had done, the damage i caused. it was irreparable. my mother barely got out of bed. our dog barked and whined, begging for her attention, her love, asking where i had gone, but when she never responded, the dog simply climbed into bed and lay in silence with her. my cat, once confined to my room, now roamed the house as he howled, calling out to me, a living, breathing reminder of the daughter my mother lost and the love i had for cats.

my father, on the other hand, drowned himself in his work. he logged up to a hundred hours a week, only leaving himself enough time to miss me when he returned home at night to see my empty bedroom, the lights all switched off, the door cracked slightly open the way it always was when i lived there, eternally unchanging. he had begun to adjust the thermostat from his phone instead of passing by my doorway to do it manually. he didn’t want to think about me and what i left behind more often than necessary.

my little sister, who was only sixteen, still traveled between our parents’ houses. when she was at our dad’s, she kept the door to my bedroom from our shared bathroom tightly closed. she locked it when she showered, and sometimes expected me to burst into her room and scold her for leaving it locked after she was done. but i never did, and she eventually stopped unlocking it.

at our mom’s, she did her best to avoid walking down the hallway that led to my room and the bathroom unless she needed to pee. my door was always closed now, and my cat never seemed to figure out why. he would sit in front of it and cry, wailing for me to let him in, unaware that i was not home and i never would be again. my sister cared for him on my behalf, holding him when he cried in the middle of the night, feeding him when he purred and begged for food. he was how she honored me in my death. he was how she showed that she had loved me.

my older sister didn’t live at home anymore, but she felt the loss, too. when she lay in her bed, she sometimes caught herself staring at the candle i made for her in my pharmacy class and began to cry. she couldn’t bring herself to light it, unwilling to let a flame melt away something i had given her. when she felt strong enough, she often visited my social media pages and scrolled through my posts, remembering how i’d ask her opinion of my photos and whether i should post them. she always encouraged me to post them, no matter how other people may react. it was my page and she wanted me to share whatever i felt like sharing. now that i was gone, she was thankful for that.

my boyfriend was surprised by the news. at first, he thought it was a joke, something i’d orchestrated to get a reaction out of him—a sick prank. but he eventually realized that it wasn’t a cruel joke i’d been playing. he still went over to my house, sat on my bed, looked at the rumpled sheets and flattened pillows where we used to sleep together. he thought about how i would always sling one arm and one leg over him when we slept, like a koala hugging a tree, and i could see the ache i had put inside of him.

sometimes he would log onto his computer to play his favorite video game and see the minecraft logo, forced to remember how i made him play it with me the night after our first date when i panicked and made him go home. he remembered the feeling of his arm around my waist in the movie theater as we watched spider-man, of my hand in his while we walked through cedar point, of my skin against his the first time we had sex. he remembered the sound of my heartbeat whenever he rested his head on my chest, the smell of my perfume that he liked to spray on himself, the sound of my laugh when he said something particularly stupid. he couldn’t stop remembering. sometimes i wished he could forget, if only it would stop him from hurting so badly.

the day after i killed myself, i had no regrets—i was proud of myself for my success, relieved i had finally freed everyone from my web of misery and pain—but the day after that, i did.

two days after i killed myself, i regretted it. i wanted to go back. i wanted to push my hands through the earth i’d been buried in, my fingernails caked with dirt, and crawl home to the family i’d left behind. i wanted to wrap them in my arms, tell them i was sorry, promise them i would never hurt them that way again—but i couldn’t. i was dead.

two days after i killed myself, i regretted it more than i ever thought i was capable of.

Why We Should Take Depression Seriously?

Depression is one of the most common mental health issues, yet it often goes overlooked and underestimated. According to the World Health Organization, depression affects over 300 million people globally. It is the leading cause of disability worldwide and contributes significantly to the burden of suicide and heart disease.

Despite its prevalence and serious implications, depression is surrounded by stigma and misconceptions. Many people view it merely as temporary sadness or weakness, but this simplistic understanding can prevent people from seeking help and receiving adequate care. Challenging the myths and misunderstandings around depression is crucial to improving awareness and support.

Recognizing the Signs of Depression: Understanding the Key Symptoms

Depression is a common yet serious mood disorder that affects how you feel, think, and handle daily activities. It can lead to significant emotional and physical problems, but recognizing the signs early can help you seek the necessary support. Here are some key symptoms to watch for:

Depressed Mood: A constant feeling of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness can be a strong indicator of depression.

Loss of Interest: You may lose interest in activities you once enjoyed, such as hobbies, socializing, or work.

Significant Weight Changes: Depression can lead to significant weight loss or gain due to a change in eating habits. You may also notice an increase or decrease in appetite.

Insomnia or Hypersomnia: Changes in sleep patterns are common with depression, such as difficulty falling asleep (insomnia) or excessive sleeping (hypersomnia).

Psychomotor Agitation or Retardation: You may experience physical restlessness or sluggishness, feeling unusually fidgety or, conversely, slowed down in your movements.

Fatigue or Loss of Energy: Depression can make you feel constantly tired or drained, even after a full night's sleep.

Feelings of Worthlessness or Excessive Guilt: A sense of being worthless or feeling unnecessarily guilty, even for minor mistakes or events, is often present.

Diminished Ability to Think or Concentrate: You may find it hard to focus, make decisions, or think clearly.

Recurrent Thoughts of Death or Suicide: Depression can lead to thoughts about death, including suicidal ideation or even attempts. It's important to take these thoughts seriously and seek help immediately.

If you identify with any of these signs, it might be time to reach out for professional help. Early intervention can make a significant difference in managing depression.

This Wednesday September 21st, I'll be on a #SickleCellWarrior panel speaking about managing #chronicillness x #mentalhealth at @pennmedicine. I specifically asked for questions geared toward mental health and Sickle Cell not only because it is what I personally experience, but because we rarely ever discuss how the physical, medical, and mental traumas intersect and deeply impact the #SickleCellCommunity. We're out here doing the best we can everyday. So many of us do not give ourselves permission to ask for more support, especially emotionally. My sis, bestie, & fellow #SCD #Warrior @ediomi will be representing the @crescentfoundationscd nonprofit to share information on how they offer support to our community. ✌🏼 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥 #overcomingdepression #overcomingstigmas #overcomingfear #overcominganxiety #SickleCell #SickleCellAwareness #Acceptance #SelfAcceptance #SickleCellAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAdvocate #itsokaytonotbeokay #SickleCellAdvocate #SickleCellWarriors #SickleCellAnemia #publicspeaking #publicspeaker https://www.instagram.com/p/CisdvYwOVfa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
