#GM #MentalHealthAwareness #RecoveryJourney

Mental health has been my primary struggle. About two years ago, I thought I had resolved my issues with medication. However, I've come to realize that I wasn't as stable as I believed.

In an effort to improve my life, I quit drugs and nicotine. I was even planning to have a baby in the coming year. Despite these positive steps, my mental health took an unexpected turn, leading to a distressing incident.

One day, I impulsively jumped from the third story of my condo apartment. This wasn't a suicide attempt, but rather a misguided act of curiosity and a cry for help. My neighbor witnessed the jump and tried to assist, but I crawled away into my home. The police and emergency responders found me inside and took me to the hospital.

At the hospital, I learned that I had suffered a broken spine and a fractured foot. I underwent surgery the following morning, which was successful. Now, I have to wear braces to maintain proper posture and keep my bones in place. The physical pain has been, and continues to be, intense.

I'm currently in the process of recovery, which is expected to take about eight weeks. Despite the severity of this incident, I believe I'm improving mentally. I've had suicidal attempts in the past, but I've come to realize that the pain they cause isn't worth my life. I genuinely feel I'm in a better place mentally than before, but I'm concerned that after this jump, others might not believe me.

This experience has made me realize that I need to address my mental health more thoroughly and seek proper treatment to prevent such incidents in the future. I'm committed to my recovery, both physical and mental, even if it's challenging to convince others of my progress.
