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.
Think of it like this: if you lost your favorite toy and felt so sad you didn’t want to play at all, but then someone else says, “I lost my favorite toy too, and I felt the same way,” you know they really understand you. That’s what this person is trying to say: “I’ve felt that deep sadness too, so I can understand your pain.”

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.”
