Erica, thank you for posting this. Suicide is something that needs to be talked about, it can't be kept quiet.

In the summer of 2010 I have a bad bout of anxiety. For a week I couldn't eat because of it. During this week I planned my death, I didn't want to live anymore. I had struggled with these thoughts for at least three years and I finally hit my breaking point.
My uncle had committed suicide when I was little, I saw how it affected my mom. I did not want her to go through that again. I didn't want any of my family to have to go through that. So I told my mom that I did not want to live.

The most important thing when you are thinking suicidal thoughts, or even just thoughts of hurting yourself, is tell someone. Anyone. Step up and save yourself, don't wait on someone to save you. Most of the time people around you don't have a clue what you are going through. So speak up. Save a life.

I know the feeling of finding yourself stuck out on a ledge...
