ELI5: Baby, not to be disrespectful, or try to cause any type of rivalry, but I genuinely have not showed you how much I have been through, I haven't even showed you like an 1000th of what I've been through in my life, baby, you just have to realize, there are going to be some major things in your life that you're going to hate regardless of whether you like it or not, but when I say that I can understand you, I can 100% promise you that I can.

This message is someone gently telling a friend that they have faced very hard and scary things in life, including trying to end their own life, and they want the friend to understand that they truly know how it feels to go through tough times.
Imagine your life is like a long walk. Sometimes the path is sunny and easy, but sometimes you hit big, dark storms, trip over rocks, or feel so tired you want to stop walking forever. This person is saying:
- I have walked through many of those dark storms and hurt myself so much that I even tried to stop walking forever (that’s what “attempted suicide” means).
- I haven’t shown you even a tiny bit (like 1/1000th) of all the pain I’ve felt.
- But I promise you: I can understand you because I’ve been there too.
- Life always has ups (happy times) and downs (hard times), and sometimes you’ll hate things no matter how much you try to like them.
They’re not trying to fight or make things worse. They just want the other person to know: “I’ve been through major hard things, and I can truly understand you because I’ve been there.”
