Fifty Shades of Shoey

#WorldSuicidePreventionDay

I felt like this needed a whole chapter to itself.

Hey guys. As most of you probably already know, today is Suicide Prevention Day. I just wanted to say that if any of you are struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts/attempts, self harm, or anything of that sort please get help. Reach out to someone. Be brave enough to talk to someone, whether it be a stranger over a hotline [1-800-273-TALK] or your best friend.
This is a very serious matter and if you or anyone you know of is going through a rough patch, please advise them or yourself to talk to someone.
Damn, I don't wanna get into my past but fuck it. I've been to therapy before. I'm not gonna get into my personal opinions about it but it does help a lot of people. Even just speaking to someone can help. There's people that need just that one person to listen to them, to hear them out and tell them it's going to be okay. If you're struggling with depression, find that person. If you know someone who is fighting the battle, be that person to reassure them that life gets better.
If you're not comfortable speaking to someone close about this, hey just talk to me! I'm always here.
I'm sorry if you're going through anything like this, I know it's hard and it feels everlasting but it's not. There's more to life than what it seems. One day you'll be big and successful. I know it's hard and you've heard it all before, trust me I know, but it's the damn truth. You matter, and don't forget that.
Just wait for that day that you'll be happy. Nothing is worth taking your life over. Think about your friends, your family, anyone who cares about you (even if you think no one cares, someone does. I fucking care about you if no one else). You would put them in a state of misery if you ended your life, don't do it. It might relieve your temporary pain but it will cause a lifetime of damage to those around you. I know what it's like to lose a friend and it hurts like a bitch. So please don't ever do it, don't ever try. You're worth more than that and you deserve a better life that you will eventually have. You're special. You're you! Fuck, I wish I could be you. And you will be successful and you will live up to your dream and you will be happy. But until then, find something you're passionate about. Find something you love and want to do, it'll distract you from those monsters in your head. And just remember, there's only one you. Make it count. Be the best you that you can possibly be.
There's so much more I want to say but I'm probably already annoying you with my cliché-ness so I'll stop.
I care about you. x
Stay strong, darling.
