Life After Suicide

Near the end of my sophomore year, I attempted suicide. Several factors led to the decision, the main one being my friends' refusal to help me. Only one person pulled through, and he saved my life. However, my suicide attempt resulted in the loss of all my friends, mostly by my choice, thus I became extremely isolated and desperately alone. When I began my Junior year, everything was new. This is my story of how I again learned to live, and to enjoy life, when all had wanted was to die. I learned to trust other people, and myself. I grew close to certain people and distanced from others. I began a new life, but not all of my choices were good ones. I made many mistakes, had many heartaches, but I gained an appreciation for what I have.

This is based on a true story. Names and some details are changed, but it all happened, in some form or another.
