In cases of having a terrible experience from the past with a lasting scar, at times, most people find it really difficult to move on or even recover from shock of pain from the past event which happened to them, and as a result, it takes a toll on them, and for some, it either leads them to depression, some commits suicide, some result to doing hard drugs.

At a point in my life I began to think suicidal due to some situation i encountered in the past which were really frustrating, it happened for a while, until it dawned on me, that giving up or ending my life will never solve the problem, then I stopped isolating myself, and also tried to be around more people, picked up a hobby, and tried to do activities that requires my mental attention, so as to distract myself from these deadly thoughts, though it was difficult, but I strived to get over those suicidal thoughts, and I always reminded myself 'I'll get through this alive'.
