2014 was a tough year for me, too, Kate, and ditto with quite a lot of people I know. Started off fine for moi (mostly) but it all went downhill after the first two-and-a-half months and I just didn't see how I was going to be able to put up with life as it was like this and keep doing life. I wouldn't say I was actively suicidal but I just didn't see a way through it, and what I was dealing with actually wasn't a quick fix with an easy solution anyway. It all ended up falling on my shoulders and I had to be my own best advocate, as-usual.

But yeah. There was definitely something in the water that year. A lot of people really suffered and struggled in 2014.
