Selfdood is \u2019n verwoestende werklikheid wat miljoene mense oor die w\u00eareld heen raak. Ten spyte van die voortdurende pogings om bewustheid te kweek en selfdood te voorkom sukkel baie mense steeds met gedagtes om hul eie lewe te be\u00ebindig. <\/p>\n
Daar is egter ook inspirerende verhale van individue wat hierdie gedagtes oorkom het en nou \u2019n vervullende lewe lei. <\/p>\n
Een so \u2019n persoon is Adri Viljoen (45), \u2019n vrou wat \u2019n selfdoodpoging oorleef het en nou haar verhaal van hoop en veerkragtigheid deel. <\/p>\n
Adri, \u2019n aanlyn verkoopsagent en inwoner van Rawsonville, se onstabiliteit in haar welstand het in \u2019n tyd van intense emosionele onrus begin. Sy het met erge depressie gesukkel en het deur die uitdagings van die lewe oorweldig gevoel.<\/p>\n
N\u00e1 die afsterwe van haar k\u00earel in 2019 het die pyn ondraaglik geword en sy het gevoel dat sy geen ander opsie het as om haar eie lewe te neem nie. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk kon nie meer nie en wou net nie meer nie. Ek het nie die punt gesien om langer te lewe nie. Ek het altyd gedink ek is koelkop, maar \u2019n mens kies nie depressie nie. Dit het alles in my kop oorgeneem en toe kom Covid-19 \u2013 ingehok in my huis en herinneringe wat my opvreet. Ek het op 17 Augustus 2020 probeer op my eie lewe te neem,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n
Op daardie noodlottige dag het Adri \u2019n oordosis skedule 5-medikasie geneem, maar is gelukkig betyds deur \u2019n vriendin gevind en na die hospitaal gehaas. Hier het sy \u2019n week deurgebring, waarna sy na \u2019n gespesialiseerde kliniek in die Kaap geneem is vir verdere behandeling.<\/p>\n
Die pad na herstel was nie \u2019n maklike een vir Adri nie. Sy moes fisieke en emosionele letsels van die selfdoodpo\u00adging hanteer, en die skaamte en skuld wat daarmee gepaard gaan ook in die kiem smoor. Met die hulp van haar familie, vriende en geestesgesondheidswerkers kon Adri haar lewe omkeer. Sy het met terapie begin en aan die bestuur van haar geestesgesondheid begin werk.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het onlangs \u2019n berig gelees in die Standard <\/i>oor \u2019n groep jong meisies wat hul vriendin aan selfdood verloor het en toe die negatiewe in iets goeds omgeskep het. Dit was vir my fantasties om daardie perspektief te lees en dit het my ge\u00efnspireer om my verhaal te deel \u2013 tot onlangs toe was ek baie skaam daaroor, want dit is nie maklik nie. \u2019n Klomp knelpunte kom uit as \u2019n mens terapie ondergaan, maar ek wil ook ander wys dat daar \u2019n uitweg is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adri het deur terapie geleer hoe om haar emosies en gedagtes op \u2019n gesonde manier te hanteer. Sy het ook die belangrikheid van selfversorging en die krag van positiewe selfgesprekke ontdek. Mettertyd kon Adri \u2019n sterker gevoel van eiewaarde ontwikkel en weer betekenis in haar lewe vind.<\/p>\n
Nou is Adri \u2019n sterk voorstander van geestesgesondheid en selfdood\u00advoorkoming. Sy is toegewyd daaraan om ander te help wat dalk met soortgelyke gedagtes en gevoelens sukkel. Sy praat dikwels in die openbaar oor haar ervaring en moedig ander aan om uit te reik vir hulp. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk hoop dat my verhaal \u2019n bewys van die krag van hoop kan wees en ander die belangrikheid daarvan wys om hulp te soek wanneer jy met geestesgesondheidskwessies sukkel,\u201d voeg sy by.<\/p>\n
Haar verhaal is een van hoop en veerkragtigheid. Sy is \u2019n herinnering dat, maak nie saak hoe donker die lewe mag lyk nie, daar altyd \u2019n uitweg is en die moontlikheid van herstel met die regte hulp gewaarborg is.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs jy of iemand wat jy ken, sukkel met gedagtes van selfmoord, is dit belangrik om uit te reik vir hulp. Jy is nie alleen nie, en daar is altyd hoop.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
