Fuck man. The horror of certain failed suicide attempts kept me alive a few times last week. Resolve, maybe. But I have totally broken myself in a way with my own stupidity

Glad you failed. Glad you're still here. Get back on the horse. You've got this. I remain impressed. Think about all the times you habe succeeded, not the times you fell. You've done so much. Focus on that. We have a tendency to focus on our failures and dismiss all the hard work we have done. Resist that temptation.

You're right. But I need to learn some humility right now. That might sound weird. AA thing. AA is weird

Humility is fine. Shame is not. Resist shame.
