Warning: The following content discusses sensitive topics related to suicide and mental health. Reader discretion is advised.
Suicide is a silent epidemic that claims the lives of millions every year. However, amidst the darkness, there are stories of bravery, resilience, and the will to survive against all odds. This article delves into the harrowing story of one individual who battled with their inner demons, contemplating suicide, but ultimately emerged as a survivor.
: Battling the Abyss
We often underestimate the immense struggles that individuals facing mental health issues endure every day. This journey begins with a sense of emptiness, despair, and a feeling of being trapped in a world devoid of hope. The story we weave here is about one person's journey from the edge of despair to the beacon of survival.

: Inspiring Hope and Understanding
The story of suicide and survival is a stark reminder that even in our deepest moments of despair, hope and support can make all the difference. While the battle against mental illness is an ongoing one, it is essential to foster a community that values empathy, compassion, and understanding. By sharing stories like this, we hope to eradicate the stigma surrounding mental health and inspire others to seek help when they need it most.

A searing and brave memoir that offers a new understanding of suicide as a distinct mental illness.
As the sun lowered in the sky one Friday afternoon in April 2006, acclaimed author Donald Antrim found himself on the roof of his Brooklyn apartment building, afraid for his life. In this moving memoir, Antrim vividly recounts what led him to the roof and what happened after he came back down: two hospitalizations, weeks of fruitless clinical trials, the terror of submitting to ECT—and the saving call from David Foster Wallace that convinced him to try it—as well as years of fitful recovery and setback.
Through a clear and haunting reckoning with the author’s own story, One Friday in April confronts the limits of our understanding of suicide. Donald Antrim’s personal insights reframe suicide—whether in thought or in action—as an illness in its own right, a unique consequence of trauma and personal isolation, rather than the choice of a depressed person.
A necessary companion to William Styron’s classic? Darkness Visible, this profound, insightful work sheds light on the tragedy and mystery of suicide, offering solace that may save lives.
