Hi, I'm Juliana.
I am a mom of 4, a fellow mentally ill baddie and overall probably one of the most empathetic, compassionate cry babies you will ever meet. I have always been drawn to the broken. The people who color outside of the lines. People who have fallen, f*cked up, made mistakes or maybe just have gone most of their life feeling completely out of place and misunderstood. Those are my people.
On July 23rd 2023 I tried to end my life. I had hit a place of hopelessness so severe that I saw no way out. My mind convinced me that my children were better off, and there was only one way to end the pain. Ending me. I was so wrong and by the grace of God I was saved and still here today, to share my story and spread awareness on a topic so near and dear to my heart and soul.
I want to show others that there is always a reason to stick around even when our mind convinces us otherwise. The regret I felt after attempting was immense, and I know that in those moments I did not truly want to die. I don’t think anyone does. I think we just want the pain to stop, and it can and it will. You just have to hold on my friend. My mission is to save lives and make my children proud. I have found my purpose and that’s using my platform as a voice for not only myself but those who aren’t always heard. I am glad you’re here.
My reason to stay.
This is your reminder that someone in your life needs you.
