My fiancé has attempted suicide. She has told me I saved her life. Suicide is not something to mess around with. If you think suicide is your last option, your wrong. Find help. Theres always someone out there. Theres always a helping hand. 'Do you think your ready to die? You think you have no reason for life? Put your hand on your chest. Feel that? You have a purpose in life. That heartbeat is there for a reason.'
