How Writer Friends Saved My Life

Giving thanks

Dear Friends,

Warning: today’s newsletter deals with mental health crises and suicidal ideation.

Fei-Ling recommended me to add an image so there’s a bigger divider between the content warning and the next section. This illustration was generated using Midjourney. The fog represents my past mental state and the rays of sunshine are my friends’ support.

Writer friends saved my life

The voice inside wanted me to kill myself.

Naturally, I wrote an essay about it and shared it with writer friends for feedback.
