Self termination attempt

"Self termination attempt"

About: Karratha Health Campus

(as the patient),

My world caved in, out of options and hope goal of never seeing my love ones again, I made a active choice to hang up my boots and release my mind from physical form. 24hrs later I told myself to get to hospital your either going to die very slowly or be gravey ill. Once arriving, I opened up to the pilbara health medical team and I was unaware of the available help support and care that was. I have been inspired to get back on my feet, life is worth living. I've been told some hard truths about how my act has or could have effected so many life's. Though it's only been a few days, I am positive but it will require work which I know there is support here it the bush if you ask for it. There will be tough times ahead I'm sure of it and with some tools the team provide I'm sure I'll be fine. All the best Karratha Health Campus and team. 

Stay fit 💪 mind and body and get to the gym, stay swole.

Stay well and I encourage you to re-present to Karratha Health Campus Emergency Department should you ever feel you need additional support; this was absolutely the right thing to do.

Requesting a call back through this service is always available.
