Typically, I do not make these types of posts because I like to help others more than receive a boost myself.

But, honestly, I could use some gentle words. I'm not seeking pity--but a little backstory, I am a suicide attempt survivor, coming up on the 4th anniversary of my last attempt, I am also a s\*xual assault survivor.

I have had a hard go at it lately and I'm just now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel again. I'm not in danger of hurting myself, but I get really low at times and it can be hard to reason beyond that feeling.

This may sound odd or even silly, but to anyone who wouldn't mind, could you send two little words to me everyday? (Or at least when you think of it): "you matter." It really helps me tremendously and is a simple enough reminder. It saved me once when I was really down.

I appreciate anyone taking the time to read this and certainly to help.
