Content note: this post discusses suicidal thoughts.
The third instalment of the series is the most personal. The author says that at times during the previous year he wanted to end his life, and the post explains how he reached that point and how he found a way back.
His main message is for anyone reading from a similar place: tell somebody. He argues that the world can look noticeably lighter within a day of speaking up. If you are struggling, contact a doctor, a trusted friend or a local crisis service right away.
