Feeling obliged to leave my story here:

Three years ago I made a plan to take my own life. Instead of pushing through I contacted a local suicide hotline, it was completely anonymous. I just talked for a bit, but that little moment helped me to find the courage to talk to a family member and that led me to go into therapy which I completed a few months ago.

Initially I was very scared telling my therapist about being suicidal, exactly sketching those horror scenarios. But when I finally talked about it, nothing happened. I remained into complete control of my own therapy the whole period. It helped me turn my life around and I'm incredibly happy I took the leap of faith to start talking about it.
