Then Came The Dawn : How I Survived Bullying, Despair And Stepped Back From The Brink Of Suicide

Suicide is not an unstoppable force, it is not inevitable, and is not a remedy for emotional trauma or anything else. By the time I reached middle school, occasional bullying incidents had exploded into relentless daily humiliation at the hands of at least twenty-five bullies or "tormentors" who made my life miserable. During this period, I was targeted almost every day and night. My future seemed to be nothing but endless misery. Suffering from an intense self-hatred, soul-crushing despair drained my strength to go on. The idea of suicide seemed to be an "easy" and quick escape. On a late afternoon in June, I resolved to end my life, but pulled back from the brink of suicide six times. In the aftermath I discovered that the most awful bully of them all is despair and that this dragon is not invincible but can be slain. This book is the battle plan I developed to attack every suicidal thought, conquer my freedom from despair, and find the strength to live. If you believe you have no hope or if you want to help someone suffering from suicidal feelings, please read this book! I am convinced it is possible for you to be victorious against the despair that seeks to destroy you. You are not alone! You are worth the fight and through this book I want to help you fight to live. I found the courage to face down and overcome all the hardships I faced. My grandmother, though she suffered much, was a beacon of hope for me and for that reason, though I am American, I chose an author name in honor of her. I hope this book helps you to realize you are not alone and can win the battle for your life!
