The attempt that went wrong
The lowest moment in life
A picture that describes it

TRIGGER is warning for people with mental illness
When I was 12, in 2018, I tried to commit insane suicide. This might be my 5th attempt that year. They usually tied me with a rope around my neck, then thinking about writing. I really did it this time. Luckily I texted my friend and he called my mom. My mom came to my room and called 911 so I went to the hospital.
I was in a coma for about 8-10 days.
This is the picture I woke up to. I didn't remember about this. I thought I fell down the stairs and hit my head. I actually have a photo of myself in a coma, but I couldn't find it.
Once I left the intensive care unit, I had to learn again to walk, sink and cut things. My brain is so injured, my long term memory started to fade. It's starting to get more difficult to recall important events.
2 years later, I went through many treatments and learned how to deal with my joint anxiety and depression. I'm writing a book now and I've made so many new friends who help me through this.
I am thankful for my friend and hard working doctors who saved my life.
