Hi, I am Dileep. I am a Suicide Attempt Survivor. And here’s my story of Survival.
Survivor Series: Dileep
I was passing through a stormy marriage, where I was also part of the problem and it often created a lot of anxiety and unhappiness. At times when sadness filled my mind, I was contemplating again and again about my purpose in life or rather the lack of it and about broken relationships. In one such moment, I attempted to end it all. I survived an attempt on suicide and I am happy to be alive again!
I went through counseling and also I did a little bit of solo travelling. I understood my foibles. I realized that the anxiety about “not so perfect” life and “not so perfect” relationships existed only in my mind. After my divorce, it was a bit difficult to build new relationships, but the travelers, volunteers, survivors and common people like us, whom I met in my various trips, made me stronger, happier and less heavy at heart.

Nowadays I am happy and I have learnt how to love myself and my own idiosyncrasies. When I became happy inside, I could find solutions to the problem outside. I became more creative and I started connecting with people. So, I am not someone who would say that, we can easily get away from the thoughts of loneliness, anxiety and suicide. The lesson I learned from all this, is to focus only on living and not on comparing ourselves with others. Life is a bit of trial and error, so it’s okay to feel sad about failure, but we should keep trying!
At a moment, when sadness filled my mind, I was evaluating again and again about lack of purpose and broken relationships. In one such moment, I attempted to end it all. I survived an attempt on suicide and I am happy to be alive again! When I became happy inside, I could find solutions to the problem outside.
