Suicide isn’t always about wanting to die - sometimes it’s about not knowing how to live with the pain you’re in. In this deeply personal piece, I share my lived experience of suicidal ideation and the conversations we’re too afraid to have. This isn’t about blame - it’s about awareness, compassion, and changing the way we talk about suicide so that fewer people feel like silence is their only option.

Sometimes survival means walking away. Living with C-PTSD has taught me that stepping back isn’t weakness — it’s hope, it’s resilience, and it’s choosing life when the world says you’re too much or not enough.

Welcome to Legally Detained - a new space for unapologetic storytelling, creative activism, and survival turned into power. I’ll be sharing new reflections alongside some of my favourite past posts: raw, honest, and never watered down. If you’ve ever felt “too much” or “not enough,” this blog is for you.
