Me too.
Me too. That is a scary story.

This perspective is a helpful reminder that now is NOT the time to allow myself to revel in my most self-destructive behaviors, as I am often inclined to do when I am bummed out. Thank you for this.

Now is the time to strengthen ourselves so we can be there for the people who need us.

Her abusive ex has been threatening harm to us and herself after she broke up with her and told her she didn’t want to be in contact with her anymore, and on Monday things escalated to the point where she drove over to our apartment threatening to call the cops and that she was waiting for my gf to come out and that she (my gf’s ex) was going to die one way or another. We had no choice but to call the police and she was intercepted a block away and taken to a hospital. The police told us to unblock her so that anything she messages can be used for a restraining order or further action.

Then tonight, while my girlfriend was at work, the threats escalated towards my gf, me, our mutual partner, and a close friend. My gf sent us all a message saying she was sorry we’ve been put through all this and didn’t know any other way out. I called her asking what she meant by that. She didn’t answer, but then she called back, told me that she meant her life, and said that she went to a park, cut open a vein, and that she was sorry, loved me, and that everything would be over soon.

I can’t adequately express in words how I felt. Terrified, scared, I called 911, told them what happened and what parks I thought it could be at. I called my other partner, and I drove to one location while the police searched a different park and my partner searched another one. This was around 2am, pitch black, up against lake erie. She wasn’t where I looked, and the police said they couldn’t find her at the other park. I feared the worst, I drove in pouring rain crying my eyes out.

Then I got a message from my partner’s partner saying they found her, slumped up against a willow tree overlooking the lake at one of the parks. She was bleeding out. They called ems and I rushed over there. I made it there but ems hadn’t arrived yet. We stayed with her and put pressure on her wound until I saw flashing lights in the distance and I ran as fast as I could to get their attention to show them where she was.

She was still alive, and conscious. She expressed how sorry she was, I reassured her that I was just glad she was alive and that everything would be ok. They took her to the hospital. We all went there, to be with her. She’s doing better, they stitched her up and are going to keep her there overnight and see if she is going to an inpatient unit or not. I’m at my other partner’s right now, about to finally sleep.

If I had gone to sleep a little earlier, she wouldn’t be here. I can’t imagine life without her, we’ve been together for years, I love living with her, the feeling I felt when I didn’t know where she was or if she was alive or dead was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. I want to do everything I can for her.
My goodness, what a terrifying experience. I am so glad she survived and sorry you had to go through so much worry.

I played my first-ever show tonight (or at least my first ever where I was officially on the bill) and it went amazing. Both my partners and a bunch of my friends were there and them and so many other people afterwards said they loved my set! The other acts that played were phenomenal and it felt so good to have been a part of it. My one partner was discharged from the hospital Friday and has been doing so much better and we had an amazing night both at the show and at a Sapphic Night event we went to afterwards. I’m so glad that the worst didn’t happen Thursday night, I’m so glad she was able to be there, I can’t imagine where I’d be and what I’d be feeling right now if I hadn’t been awake or we couldn’t find her in time. We were talking during the drive home about how interesting it was to have one of the worst moments of our entire lives one day and then two days later have one of the best 💜
