I’m feeling better compared to the past weeks. I have been turning to God, and fasting during Ramadan has been helping immensely. I don’t feel as empty inside as before. Sometimes I talk to Him when I’m alone and I feel like He is listening. The family has been helping as well.

I’m surrounding myself around people who love and care about me and it’s truly been making me feel better. I have thoughts of suicide, but I’m honestly trying to stop thinking about it so much. I try to keep myself occupied so I don’t have to think negative thoughts. It’s been hard, but I’m trying.
It’s sad when we allow others to make ourselves feel worthless. It’s even sadder when it’s the one person we love who is the cause of so much pain. At times this person can make you feel like shit simply because he can. You feel as though there is no reason to live, but you know that suicide is not an option because it will devastate your mother, father, and siblings. Sometimes you feel nothing but hate towards this person. Sometimes you just want him to feel as much pain as you’ve felt over the past three years. So why is it hard to imagine your life without him?
