 (CNN) U.S. Army soldier Chelsea Manning, imprisoned for leaking classified documents, has tweeted a message confirming her health and safety following a suicide attempt.

 I am okay. I'm glad to be alive. Thank you all for your love <3 I will get through this. #standwithchelsea — Chelsea Manning (@xychelsea) July 12, 2016 
 
 Although she does not have any Internet access in prison, Manning joined Twitter in April 2015 . She uses a voice phone to dictate her tweets to a communications firm, which posts them on her behalf. 
 
 Her legal representatives released a statement Monday, confirming that she had attempted to take her own life. 
 
 "After not connecting with Chelsea for over a week, we were relieved to speak with her this morning," the statement read.

 Chelsea Manning Confirms Health Status Through Her Attorneys 
 
 Today, Chelsea Manning’s attorneys Chase Strangio, Vincent Ward and Nancy Hollander released the following statement jointly: 
 
 “After not connecting with Chelsea for over a week, we were relieved to speak with her this morning. Though she would have preferred to keep her private medical information private, and instead focus on her recovery, the government’s gross breach of confidentiality in disclosing her personal health information to the media has created the very real concern that they may continue their unauthorized release of information about her publicly without warning. Due to these circumstances, Chelsea Manning requested that we communicate with the media and her friends and supporters on her behalf. 
 
 “Last week, Chelsea made a decision to end her life. Her attempt to take her own life was unsuccessful. She knows that people have questions about how she is doing and she wants everyone to know that she remains under close observation by the prison and expects to remain on this status for the next several weeks. For us, hearing Chelsea’s voice after learning that she had attempted to take her life last week was incredibly emotional. She is someone who has fought so hard for so many issues we care about and we are honored to fight for her freedom and medical care.”

– Chelsea Manning's attorneys confirmed Monday that she had indeed tried to commit suicide last week, but Manning herself sent a message out Monday night to reassure those worried about her, CNN reports. "I am okay. I'm glad to be alive. Thank you all for your love, I will get through this," she tweeted, including a heart symbol with her note. Meanwhile, Manning's lawyers issued a joint statement Monday that noted, "She knows that people have questions about how she is doing and she wants everyone to know that she remains under close observation by the prison and expects to remain on this status for the next several weeks." Manning, 28, who's serving a 35-year sentence in Kansas' Fort Leavenworth for sharing government documents with WikiLeaks, isn't allowed to use the Internet in prison: Instead, she dictates her tweets into a phone, and a communications company posts the tweets for her. (Manning was disciplined last year for having old toothpaste.)
