Dear Sarah,

I’m sorry to say, but I have been back and forth at the hospital and the psych ward. I had a failed suicide attempt by drug overdose and have been under high-risk surveillance. I’m empty, lost and alone, and everything seems unbearable. My mother and my family have all left me. As my insurance policy, denies coverage for costs associated with attempted suicide or intentionally self-inflicted injuries, the costs were too expensive for my family to cover. Hence, I’m left alone and are now staying in accommodation in public housing for the next 2 weeks. It was supposed to be the end of the road, but now there are no roads left. Nothing makes sense- I wish I could just close my eyes and disappear. The guilt, pain, shame and heartaches are all unbearable. I’m empty of words, empty of tears and feel completely empty. I’m sorry I let you all down.
