Project Semicolon: Your Story Isn't Over by Amy Bleuel

2.0

I read only a quarter of this book. I like that it started with an actual trigger warning that advises not reading the book if you were suicidal and referred you to a page filled with resources for help. That was the only thing I liked about it.

This is a compilation of people who have either contemplated suicide or have had people in their lives commit suicide and it was actually a little bit depressing rather than hopeful in anyway. The most upsetting part of all was the very first page where the author says to remain hopeful and that she overcame all this crap to positively affect lives by giving people hope and showing them they are not alone… And then it reveals right there that she committed suicide before the publication of this book or at least the publication of this edition. How anyone can be inspired by that is beyond me.

I am a big fan of sharing your story so that others realize they are not alone. But this was too much.
