Or maybe I wanted someone to point a finger at me and say, “Hannah. Are you thinking about killing yourself? Please don’t do that, Hannah. Please?” But deep down, the truth was that the only person saying that was me. Deep down, those were my words.

Guess what was right up there in the top five? “A sudden change in appearance.” I tugged on the ends of my newly cropped hair. Huh. Who knew I was so predictable?
