It's so hard when you get into that dark place, suddenly everything hurts and you don't stop to think about what happens after, all you think is how all your pain will stop and then you want be any bother to anyone else. At that point you truly believe that everyone will be happier when you are gone. I truly believed that I only caused everyone pain and made their lives worse. I didn't look to the future, I had no future, life was just too difficult to deal with. When I came too in hospital and saw my families faces I realised that I had caused them so much pain in my attempt. I really couldn't understand it. I promised mum that I would never try again and from that moment my life changed. I still get the dark moments, yes even now I sometimes believe that my young children would be better off without me. But because I recognise the feelings I can get help. It's so easy to hide those feelings from others though. You spread such an important message Jenny, it must be so difficult for you to do this, I know I can't. Keep counting those smiles, Elspeth would be proud of you xxxAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922568143111623696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308635202411289169.post-32864482930393961012016-09-09T23:29:25.016+01:002016-09-09T23:29:25.016+01:00This post is heartbreaking and beautifully written...This post is heartbreaking and beautifully written.

You are so strong carrying on the way you do and putting your all into bringing up a lovely family despite having this hanging over you everyday. Your posts are inspiring and helpful to others in the same situation and one I know you will never forget but one you are trying to embrace into a positive. I can see your monthly smile posts keep you going and it's lovely to see your family happy and enjoying life and trying to look forward to the future. I wish your family future happiness and I think it's great that you can promote what's happened to help prevent others.
