"My religious elder sister and mother betrayed me three years ago, and I still can't fathom why they did what they did. Left alone with my thoughts and feelings, I had no one to turn to. In the depths of my despair, I made the decision to leave our home, taking only my belongings with me. I had no idea where I was headed. But then, in the midst of my sorrow, a man offered me a place to stay. I barely knew him, but I accepted his offer anyway. In the span of three weeks, I got to know him better, but despite his kindness, an inexplicable pain and sadness lingered within me. I couldn't understand why, but in the midst of my despair, I just needed someone to talk to and confide in, someone who could console me and dry my tears. Yet on the eighth occasion he cheated on me, I couldn't ignore it any longer. In the midst of my despair, I discovered that there was another woman in his life. And in the midst of my despair, I finally broke down and let my tears fall. The pain was unbearable, and my vision blurred with the intensity of my emotions." "I couldn't take it any longer. One day, as I was drowning in my sorrows, I caught sight of a 10-inch knife. Without thinking, I plunged it into my stomach twice and then twice more into my legs. The physical pain was nothing compared to the emotional turmoil inside me. In that moment, I felt utterly alone and helpless, trapped in a world that had turned its back on me." "We all have our own stories and struggles, and that is why I am here to help you. Because I understand the feeling of loneliness and having problems that you can't share with anyone or turn to for comfort."
