Each year in the United States an average of 45,000 people give up on life and commit suicide, it’s a startling statistic, and there is always a better option than to take your own life.
Depression and hopelessness is a real thing, and sometimes people want to give up.
Six Fight MMA Veteran, Anthony “Pretty Boy” Taylor, scared the MMA world last night with a life threatening post to his social media.
In it, he stated, “If anybody is reading this!! This will be the last time you guys will ever see me write on Facebook and all social media. I decided to commit suicide and I’m going to take on my life away because I’m no longer human or apart of earth. I’m so sorry guys that I’m doing this!!! I can’t take it anymore. Please don’t bother to call or text my phone will be off. I chose not to live no more. Stay blessed and keep fighting for what you guys believe in.
Here’s his original post:
It has since been confirmed that he did not take his own life, and instead found a better way to deal with his depression.
If you, or anyone you know is contemplating suicide, please call the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. It’s never too late to get help.
