Hey There,

Are you here because you are looking for that one reason to stick around?

Even though you are feeling so hopeless and helpless.  Even though you are being tormented by a “Pain Demon” that numb even physical pains?  Even though you are feeling very alone?  And that you are tired of smiling and pretending that you are fine? 

All in all, you are feeling really exhausted.

And yet, here you are, looking for something worth staying for. Deep within you, you are really wishing for something else to be happening in your life.

If you are looking for one good reason to kickstart, here is my invitation to you to

Stay, hang on, get help. Give yourself a chance. Because your life is worth it, and you are worth saving.
