Anthony opened his mouth to speak and, as though a dam wall burst, words came flooding out. He said that he couldn\u2019t stand lying anymore. His body shook as he tried to choke back tears,\u201d she wrote.\u201cOver the next few minutes, he admitted he had intended to send the picture as a direct message with someone he had befriended over Twitter, but accidentally posted it publicly and deleted it (but not before someone had screen-grabbed it), that it had been a tawdry joke, a dare, it didn\u2019t mean anything and he was ashamed and embarrassed and sorry that he had brought this upon us. I felt something explode inside my chest, and suddenly it was hard to breathe. I was simultaneously filled with rage and stunned to my core. It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck me and run straight through my body,\u201d she added.The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is a free hotline for individuals in crisis or distress or for those looking to help someone else.
